Can you explain the setup a bit more?
Does the dataset hold all the loaded XML data or just a portion (one item)?
Usually the data in a dataset is stored in the 'items' property and can be
reached through the 'dataProvider' property.
So, have you bound the incoming XML results (or a sub node) to the 'items'
property of the DataSet?
If so, you can get the correct data by specifying the correct index
(dataProvider is an Array of Objects), something like this:
data1_ds.dataProvider.getItemAt(index).p_firstname;
data1_ds.dataProvider.getItemAt(index).p_lastname;
Where 'index' is a number representing which thumb has been clicked, which
means each thumbnail will have to have an index which
corresponds with a data item in the dataProvider.
If none of this makes sense, let me know and I'll throw a sample together.
Also note that in most cases, you don't really need the DataSet.
You can get the data from the XMLConnector directly.
regards,
Muzak
