I'm adapting a class explained in 'Flash Application Design Solution". The code
is used for populating a menu system.

In the original code, the menu system array is hardcoded in this fashion:
var MenuData:Array = [{title:"Advanced Flash Interface Design"}, {title:"Flash
3D Cheats Most Wanted"}, {title:"Flash 8 Essentials"}, {title:"Flash Cartoon
Animation"}];

Is this an associative array?

In my code, I would like rather use an XML file to populate MenuData, but
something is missing in my comprehension. The code below doesn't work since
there is not title 'label' associated to my array data.



var MenuXML:XML = new XML();
var MenuData:Array = new Array();
MenuXML.ignoreWhite = true;
MenuXML.onLoad = function()
{
var photos:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for (i = 0; i < photos.length; i++)
{
MenuData[i]=photos[i].attributes.nom;
}
};
MenuXML.load("xml/sympholies.xml");

Thank you for answering. My problem resides on the object literals. How to
implement them.

The XML file looks like what is below. My code, for the moment, reads the node
<theme> and the two attributes must be coded as follow:
MenuData[{nom:.....}{chemin:........}]





<photos>
<theme nom="Les affiches au fil des ans" chemin="../images/affichessympholies">
<photo nom="1993_06_19.jpg" titre="1993"/>
<photo nom="1994_06_12.jpg" titre="1994"/>
...
</photos>

I don't see anything in there that is a 'title' .. so how do you expect
there to suddenly be a title in your array that you populate from that xml
data?

I think you need to do some thinking about what you want to have happen and
try to implement that first.

No .. its just an array .. its not associative at all

As we have no idea what is in your xml file, we cannot tell what will be in
your array.

I've found the solution:
MenuData.push({title:photos[i].attributes.nom});
