Basically:
function parseSumXML(e:Event):void
{
//looping through the xml
for (var n:int=0; n<totalChildren; n++) {
obar.graphics.beginFill..... (creating square);
obar.name = "Assigned"+n;
obar.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,showDetails);
var barDetails:TextField...... creating textfield;
barDetails.name="detailsAssigned"+n;
barDetails.visible=false;
}
}
function showDetails(e:Event):void
{
this["details"+e.currentTarget.name].visible=true;
}
