This seems to work great on the right hand side and comes back with the
correct data when traced but I need to use that value as my target. I may
be missing something completely obvious as I'm a total newbie on the coding
so forgive me if I'm overlooking something simple.
I have uploaded my fla and the xml I'm using here if anyone wants to check
it out. I have commented out the section I'm having trouble with.

The code I'm stuck on is ClipEvent(load) of the MC on layer 2.
Thanks again,
Bill

Hi,
There maybe a typo in your code?
it should say subMC["textField" + i]
There should be no (dot) "." before the (square bracket) [
Basically you treat the movieclip subMC like an array. It contains some
text fields "textField0", "textField1", etc. so you can index the array
with to get the contents of it.
You can do the same with your other bit of code rather than using eval:
//instead of
but = eval("but"+i);
//Try this - not sure if you need to use the "this" operator, but it makes
things clearer.
but = this["but" + i]

Seems to jumble me up a bit, I get this error.
Expected a field name after '.' operator.
_root.mainMC.auto.subMC.["textField"+i].text =
turbo.attributes.name;
thanks though...

Erm, I think you might want to try
_root.mainMC.auto.subMC["textField" + i].text
Not sure.

Hello,
I'm having problems figuring out how to grab an array value and use
that when targeting.
This is my fucntion below. What I am wanting to do is take the
[i]value and be able to use that when trying to write to my textfields
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function ExpandData(turbo){
var turboItem = turbo.firstChild.childNodes;
for (var i = 0; i < turboItem.length; i++){
but = eval("but"+i);
var turbo = turboItem[i];
_root.mainMC.auto.subMC.txtField+i.text = turbo.attributes.name;
}
}
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Thanks,
Bill
