If I understood you correctly, you want to filter the XML data according
to a variable passed to the SWF. If so you'd do something like:
var pageDetails:String = xmlData.PAGE.(@pg_name ==
loaderInfo.parameters.page).DETAILS;
// "page" is the name of the var passed to the SWF here
But I strongly recommend you to have a look at SWFAddress, which is
absolutely indispensable framework if you are creating a site driven by
dynamic data ;)

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] XML Question
Say for example you are in the home section and obtaining the data for
it,
you'd do:
var pageData:XML = xmlData.PAGE.(@pg_name ==
"index")[0];
Then build the page based on pageData XML.
k. Now, how can I build a switch statement to determine which page? I plan to pass a var to my swf,
then call the data based on the value of the var (in this case, "index"). As stated
previously, my switch statement, for reasons I don't understand, is giving me the value
"indexcontent"; that is, all the values of pg_name:
function completeXMLListener(e:Event):void
{
var xmlData:XML = XML (e.target.data);
trace(xmldata.pa...@pg_name.tostring())
switch (xmldata.pa...@pg_name.tostring())
{
case "index":
pageDetails = xmlData.PAGE.DETAILS.toString();
break;
case "contact":
pageDetails = xmlData.PAGE.DETAILS.toString();
break;
default:
pageDetails = xmlData.PAGE.DETAILS.toString();
trace(pageDetails);
break;
}
MyTextBlock();
}
TIA,
John
