Webmaster Forum / Flash / Data Integration / June 2007

I have a Flash MP3 player that loads the song list from an XML file. I'm trying
to set it up to take the customer to the online store to purchase the currently
playing song. The player successfully loads the track name, artist name, and
url to the song, but for some reason does not appear to the load the new
attribute of buylink that I have just added. Given the code below, my buylink
value is returned as undefined. Can anyone tell me where my error is here? If
more info is needed please let me know!

The xml file reads as this for each song:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<songs>
    <song url="http://mywebsite.com/music/filename.mp3" artist="Artist Name"
track="Track Name"
buylink="http://mywebsite.com/store/index.php?cPath=21_29&sort=2a&action=buy_now
&products_id=69" />
</songs>

The code in flash to load the array reads:

// Load the songs XML
    var xml:XML = new XML();
    xml.ignoreWhite = true;
    xml.onLoad = function()
        {
            var nodes:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
            for(var i=0;i<nodes.length;i++)
                {
                    sa.push(new Song(nodes[i].attributes.url, nodes[i].attributes.artist,
nodes[i].attributes.track, nodes[i].attributes.buylink));
                    // iterate through mp3 array, and add mp3s to the listbox
                    mp3List.addItem(nodes[i].attributes.track, nodes[i].attributes.buylink);
                }
        }
    xml.load("songs.xml");

And the Song Class file is:

class Song
    {
        public var earl:String;
        public var artist:String;
        public var track:String;
        public var buylink:String;
       
        public function Song(e:String, a:String, t:String, b:String)
        {
            earl = e;
            artist = a;
            track = t;
            buylink = b;
        }
    }
