Loading an xml file from an xml file

Question

I'm trying to load an xml file from an xml file, but I'm
having problems. My first xml file is really simple - it only
contains one attribute with the name of another xml file in it
(eventually I will have multiple xml files in here and run a loop
on them...this is why I want to load an xml file from an xml file).
Currently, with the code below, I can get the main xml file
to load ("main.xml"), but I cannot get the secondary xml files to
load FROM the main.xml.
I want to then take childNode values from the secondary xml
file and use them within my .swf in text boxes and whatnot.
Any guidance? I think I'm going wrong on the line where I'm
saying "i.newxml.load(i.attributes.location);"
- How can I get this to work?

johnypeter:
I tried changing the code inside the loop to use just
"newxml" instead of "i.newxml", and I declared with "var newxml =
new XML();" - was this what you were thinking?
kglad:
The reason I tried to use the loadXML() function in the loop
was so that for each node in my "main.xml" it would load the new
xml file listed - this is a no-no? Do you have any ideas as to what
I could do?
For the for-loop, what should I change in it? I'm not great
with loops so I tried to modify some code from another loop I found
in another forum thread - not the right way to do it here?
Also, what should I trace? The value of the _root.address, or
i.attributes.location? I have created dynamic text boxes on my
stage to see if the correct value from the xml file loads (ie. the
name of the xml file within the xml file) and it does, but now I
don't know how to put that information into ANOTHER loadXML()
function and get the node information from it - does that make
sense???
Below are the examples of the xml files I am using. In the
first one, main.xml, I will have a list of multiple xml files, each
with the same nodes and elements as in the details.xml file
(different values, of course).
This is just to give you an example of what I'm trying to
accomplish - pulling ALL the addresses and phone numbers from
multiple xml files. I cannot manually collect this information, as
it is dynamic, and will be updated in each individual details.xml.
I was hoping to collect the information by simply adding to and
updating ONE xml file - main.xml.
Do you think this can be done? Am I going about it the wrong
way? I'm quite limited in AS knowledge, which is why I'm piecing
together code from other posts!
