   I have a serious problem I am trying to work out.

   I need to know if you can look at my action script and
   see where I could be going wrong.

   I need to have my tile list populate all images based on the gallery
   that is selected. I have the xml formatted correctly, but the action
   script is not distinguishing which images to load.

   here is my action script -
   import fl.data.DataProvider;
   import flash.display.DisplayObject;
   import fl.controls.ScrollBarDirection;

   //loads file into flash
   var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
   var baseURL:String = “http://www.cbchangar.com/uploads/images/”

   //add event listener for the list box
   lb.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, itemChange);

   function itemChange(e:Event):void
   {
   //when ever an item is changed. we want to populate the text area
   //Tile List information that takes the xml file info and
   //uses the reaction to someone clicking in the list component
   //and displays the info from that selection to the tile list.
   var provider:DataProvider;
   provider = new DataProvider();
   provider.addItem({label:lb.selectedItem.data, source:lb.selectedItem.source});
   tl.dataProvider = provider;
   }

   //tl.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, itemSelect);
   //function itemSelect(e:Event):void
   //{
   //}

   //when finished loading in file notify us
   loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);

   //use as3 xml features to parse out xml
   //create a new xml object, which will hold all xml data
   var xml:XML;

   function onLoaded(e:Event):void
   {
   //get access to the data in the file
   //gets us to the object this listener was applied to
   xml = new XML(e.target.data);
   //start displaying specific pieces of info from the xml file
   //you no longer have to use the first child and second child crap
   //in the new way, you can just walk down the xml list
   //so check your xml file for what you want to get.
   //start with the first tag, and then just walk down the list
   //trace(xml.galleryInfo.image);

   tl.direction = ScrollBarDirection.VERTICAL;
   tl.rowHeight = 140;
   tl.columnWidth = 200;

   var il:XMLList = xml.item;
   trace(xml.item);
   for(var i:uint=i; i<il.length(); i++)
   {
   //add the title of the specific item to the list box
   //label is the text that gets displayed
   //data is the info th
   //
   lb.addItem({data:il.caption.text()[i], label:il.gid.text()[i], source:baseURL + il.imgName[i]});
   }
   }

   //tell the loader object to load the file from a url
   loader.load(new URLRequest(“http://www.cbchangar.com/Scripts/images.php”));

   please let me know if you see anything…
   thanks
