AS3 URLRequest in for Loop problem - for-loop

Question

I read some data from a xml file, everything works great besides urls. I can't figure what's the problem with the "navigateURL" function or with the eventListener... on which square I click it opens the last url from the xml file
for(var i:Number = 0; i <= gamesInput.game.length() -1; i++)
{
var square:square_mc = new square_mc();
//xml values
var tGame_name:String = gamesInput.game.name.text()[i];//game name
var tGame_id:Number = gamesInput.children()[i].attributes()[2].toXMLString();//game id
var tGame_thumbnail:String = thumbPath + gamesInput.game.thumbnail.text()[i];//thumb path
var tGame_url:String = gamesInput.game.url.text()[i];//game url
addChild(square);
square.tgname_txt.text = tGame_name;
square.tgurl_txt.text = tGame_url;
//load & attach game thumb
var getThumb:URLRequest = new URLRequest(tGame_thumbnail);
var loadThumb:Loader = new Loader();
loadThumb.load(getThumb);
square.addChild(loadThumb);
//
square.y = squareY;
square.x = squareX;
squareX += square.width + 10;
square.buttonMode = true;
square.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigateURL);
}
function navigateURL(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest(tGame_url);
navigateToURL(url, "_blank");
trace(tGame_url);
}
Many thanks!

Answer 1

In navigateURL() you use tGame_url, but I think you'd rather use something like tgurl_txt.text which will be different for each square.

Answer 2

Looks like you're not attaching the event listener properly. Instead of this.addEventListener, attach it to the variable you created when creating new square_mc..... so:
square.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigateURL);

Answer 3

you should add the addEventListener on the Squares
mmm..still figuring how eventhandler function will ever get the correct tgame_url var.
What if you try this:
square.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function navigateURL(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest(tGame_url);
navigateToURL(url, "_blank");
trace(tGame_url);
});

Answer 4

try tracing this:
function navigateURL(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest(tGame_url);
navigateToURL(url, "_blank");
//trace(tGame_url);
trace(event.currentTarget.tgurl_txt.text);
}
you should add the url to your square in the loop
square.theUrl = tGame_url;
in the event listener function you should be able to access it with
event.currentTarget.theUrl;
