numerically defining a XML node

[evilmonkeh]

in my Actionscript, i need to do the following:
players = stat.firstChild.[VARIABLE]Child.childNodes
it works with stat.firstChild.firstChild but only for the first one....
is it possible to define the xChild using a variable?

i hope you understand my problem

thanks

How about using stat.appendChild(childNode) for that. 'childNode' could be the variable. Perhaps lookup the possibilties in the reference :).

hmm
i cant find what i need:(
here is a more detailed look at my code.

stat = new XML();
stat.ignoreWhite = true;
stat.load("http://www.extreme-servers.net/serverinfo/xml.php");
stat.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
server = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for (var i = 0; i<server.length; i++) {
item = _root.attachMovie("box", "box"+i, i);
item._x = 7;
item._y = (25*i)+34;
item.itemLabel.text = server[i].attributes.name;
item.onRelease = function() {
players = stat.firstChild.appendChild(i).childNodes; // Here is where i need to specify the childNode of my xml. it will be a <server>. take a look at the xml supplied
for (var k = 0; k<players.length; k++) {
player = _root.attachMovie("playerBox", "playerBox"+k, k);
player._x = 7;
player._y = (23*k)+300;
player.details.text = players[k].attributes.name;
}
};
}
}
};

here (http://www.extreme-servers.net/serverinfo/xml.php) is an example of the generated xml:
