Haven't followed this thread, so apologies if this has been hashed out
previously. But this:
function showDetails(e:Event):void
{
this["details"+e.currentTarget.name].visible=true;
}
Seems unnecessarily complicated. Seems this should work:
function showDetails(e:Event):void
{
var mySprite:Sprite = e.target as Sprite;
mySprite.visible = true;
}
HOWEVER, the fact you are telling it to be visible AFTER the mouse rolls
over it seems problematic - if it wasn't visible before, then it would
be impossible to trigger a roll over.

Basically:
function parseSumXML(e:Event):void
{
//looping through the xml
for (var n:int=0; n<totalChildren; n++) {
obar.graphics.beginFill..... (creating square);
obar.name = "Assigned"+n;
obar.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,showDetails);
var barDetails:TextField...... creating textfield;
barDetails.name="detailsAssigned"+n;
barDetails.visible=false;
}
}
function showDetails(e:Event):void
{
this["details"+e.currentTarget.name].visible=true;
}

Can you post more of your code? Specifically the code that creates the
intended target in the first place.
