     <model>  Mercedes E20056 </model>
     <image>mercedes001</image>
    </item>
</category> ...5 models total
xml-> flash "load"-> TileList "click"-> some window with data
 here is the problem:
how to add another TileList in that window with few images /like a gallery/ - any ideas ?

i try with dataprovider and "
<item ....>

have another problem
here is the code :

var cnt_xml:XML = new XML();
cnt_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
var xml_loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xml_loader.load(new URLRequest("projects12.xml"));
xml_loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadd);


function loadd(e:Event):void 
{

cnt_xml = XML(xml_loader.data);

total = cnt_xml.mercedes.length();

for( a = 0; a < total; a++ )

{

model.push( cnt_xml.mercedes[a].model.toString() );

year.push( cnt_xml.mercedes[a].year.toString() );

price.push( cnt_xml.mercedes[a].price.toString() );

image.push( cnt_xml.mercedes[a].image.toString() );

desc.push( cnt_xml.mercedes[a].desc.toString() );

imgs.push( cnt_xml.mercedes[a].amedia.asset.toString() ); 

}

for(j = 0; j<total; j++){

var btn:MovieClip = new mc();

btn.name = "btn" + a;

btn.x = mc.x + (mc.width +10) * j ;

btn.y = mc.y;

btn.model_txt.text = model[j];  

btn.price_txt.htmlText = price[j];

btn.ui01.source = image[j];

main_menu.addChild(btn);

btn.buttonMode = true;

btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, p_mov1);

btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, pl1);

btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, pl2);

function p_mov1():void

{

?

}
}

how to get data from movieclip ?
- i try ..but result was "undefined"
/have another movie clip with UILoader and 3 dynamic text fields/ ...help pls.
thank you !

Don't put the callback function inside the loadd function but outside.
The reference to the clicked MovieClip in callback is something like this:

Code:

function p_mov1(evt:MouseEvent):void{
  trace("target is "+evt.target)
}

Then use evt.target as a reference to the clicked MovieClip

i mean:

     ...desc.push( cnt_xml.mercedes[a].adesc.toString() );

imgs.push( cnt_xml.mercedes[a].amedia.asset.toString() ); 

}

}

loada();
}
function loada():void{

trace(j);

var model1:String=model[j];

var year1:String=yeara[j];

var price1:String=price[j];

var image1:String=image[j];

var desc1:String=desc[j];
        var imgs1:String=imgs[j];

var btn:MovieClip = new mc();

btn.x = mc001.x + (mc001.width +10) * j ;

btn.y = mc001.y;

btn.model_txt.text = model1;  

btn.price_txt.htmlText = price1;

btn.ui01.source = image1;
        btn.buttonMode = true;

main_menu.addChild(btn);

btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playmov);

btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, pl1);

btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, pl2);

j++;

if (j<total) {

loada();
}

have +1 problem

 imgs.push( cnt_xml.mercedes[a].amedia.asset.toString() ); 

shows

<asset><![CDATA[media/0001-p.png]]></asset>

how to fix it ?

xml looks like:

<mercedes>
    <model><![CDATA[Mercedes E630]]></model>....
    <adesc><![CDATA[2Lorem ipsum ...]]></adesc>
    <amedia>

<asset><![CDATA[media/0001-p.png]]></asset>
      

<asset><![CDATA[media/0002-p.png]]></asset> .. x5
     </amedia>
</mercedes>

somehow i fix that and shows new problem - when i try to populate TileList :

Code:

var aImgs:DataProvider = new DataProvider;
aImgs.addItems(imgs2);
c_mov.ti002.dataProvider = aImgs;

content of <asset> /in xml file/ shows in "label" field on the tilelist cell
can i switch to "source" - i want images only
i try with

Code:

aImgs.addItems({source:imgs2});

but receve error : TypeError: Error: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert [object Object] to Array or DataProvider.
any ideas ? Thank you !

Don't use a CDATA node for just file names, instead normalize the filenames and use normal nodes
