[flexcoders] Populating Multiple Arrays in Flex using e4x

[Patrick McDaniel]

Hello All,

I'm having trouble figuring out how to populate two arrays in flex.  Currently 
I have XML output that describes Subversion log information.  So there are 
multiple logs and within those logs there are multiple files that have changed.

My current (and wrong) approach is to run a for each loop find each svnlog and 
adding it to a value object I have.  Inside each for each loop I run another 
loop over the paths to fill in the path's array inside my svnlog value object.  
The problem is that the second for loop picks up all the paths in the entire 
XML file or from all the log entries which is not what I want it to do.

My XML looks like:


<model>
  <entry>
    <string>revisionlog</string>
    <linked-list>
      <svnlog>
        <author></author>
        <date></date>
        <message></message>
        <revision></revision>
        <fileList class="linked-list">
          <svnpath>
            <myPath></myPath>
            <myType></myType>
            <myCopyRevision></myCopyRevision>
          </svnpath>
        </fileList>
      </svnlog>
    </linked-list>
   </entry>
 </model>

NOTE: there are multiple svnlog entries and each one has multiple svnpath's

My code to transverse this (which is wrong) looks like:
for each (var x:XML in evt.result..svnlog)
{
    fill in some values
    for each (var p:XML in evt.result..svnpath)
    {
        fill in the path values
    }
}

Has anyone run into this before and can offer some help or point me in the 
right direction?

Thanks,
Patrick
