XML to List component and further...

[SundanceKid]

Hi!

I´m really new to XML and Flash and I would appreciate some help.
What I need is a helping hand to do this:
1. One List component loading an XML with artist names.
2. When I click on an artist name, the songs from that artist should appear in
a second List component.
3. When i click on a song titel in the second List component, an MP3 should
load and start to play in a MediaController component, and some text
information about that song should appear in some dynamic textfield or a
text area component.

Many Thanx for showing me to the right path!

var firstNumber:Number;
var firstTimer:Number;
function dblClick(curNumber:Number):Boolean{
var myreturn:Boolean = false;
var curTimer = getTimer();
if((curTimer - firstTimer)<300 && curNumber == firstNumber) myreturn = true;
firstNumber = curNumber;
firstTimer =curTimer;
return myreturn;
}

var myListXML = new XML();
myListXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myListXML.onLoad = function(success){
if(success) firstLst.dataProvider = this.firstChild.childNodes;
}
myListXML.load("myMenuXML.xml");

function firstLstClick(evt:Object):Void{

if(dblClick(evt.target.selectedIndex))secondLst.da taProvider = evt.target.selectedItem.childNodes;

}
firstLst.addEventListener("change",firstLstClick);

function secondLstClick(evt:Object):Void{
if(dblClick(evt.target.selectedIndex))trace(evt.ta rget.selectedItem.attributes.data);

}
secondLst.addEventListener("change",secondLstClick);

Thanx again, I´m working on it and... noticed that I need a little more help.
The two list works perfectly but there are two things I cant figure out.
1. How to get the music to play in the mediaController. (I get the trace pop)
2. Is ther another solutions instedd of the dubbel click (dblClick)?? Single click!!

I noticed that as a designer I really suck on AS. :confused:

Many Thanx again!
