User data not displaying

[Peter]

Hi there, part of a site I'm developing uses input from a flash
interface to update a google map (view at www.thelokator.com) However,
even though the map is displaying, no user information (ie. markers,
bubbles) is forming when the "Update Map" button is pressed.

The data is sent to a php script (generateXMLfromSQL.php), then the
appropriate records are extracted from the database using a mysql
statement, which ends up in some XML. You can view an example of how
the XML looks by entering this URL into your browser:

http://www.thelokator.com/generateXMLfromSQL.php?lat=-37.814251&lng=144.982123&distance=8000&kmsActive=1

So since the XML is being formed correctly, I'm thinking my problem
lies somewhere with the marker deployment javascript, yes? If someone
could take a look at the code below, I would be most appreciative.
Unfortunately Javascript isn't my strong suit - although I'm slowly
learning.

Cheers,

Peter
