trying to format records in flash mx coming from mysql

ok i have results from my mysql coming to flash mx and im trying to format it in rows like:

VENUENAME ADDRESS PHONENUMBER
VENUENAME ADDRESS PHONENUMBER
VENUENAME ADDRESS PHONENUMBER
VENUENAME ADDRESS PHONENUMBER

and i want about 10 records to show in flash at a time....
here is the actionscript and the PHP code:

// Create another LoadVars instance to receive the server's reply
replyData = new LoadVars();

// Specify a function to call when this new instance receives the reply.
replyData.onLoad = handleReply;
// Submit the order data
formData.sendAndLoad(submitURL, replyData, 'POST');
// Tell the user what's happening.
message_txt.htmlText = "Submitting search, please wait...";
}
function handleReply(success) {
if (success) {
message_txt.htmlText = "Your search was received:"+chr(10)+chr(10);
for(var i = 0; i < Number(replyData.totalNum); i++) {
if(replyData['url'+i] != undefined && replyData['url'+i] != '') {
message_txt.htmlText += "Venue Name: <a href='"+replyData['url'+i]+"' target='_blank'>" + replyData['venueName'+i]+"</a>"+newline;
} else {
message_txt.htmlText += "Venue Name: "+replyData['venueName'+i]+newline;
}
message_txt.htmlText += "Address: " + replyData['address'+i] + newline;
message_txt.htmlText += "City: " + replyData['city'+i] + newline;
message_txt.htmlText += "State: " + replyData['state'+i] + newline;
message_txt.htmlText += "Zip Code: " + replyData['zipCode'+i] + newline;
message_txt.htmlText += "Area Code: " + replyData['areaCode'+i]+chr(10);
message_txt.htmlText += "Phone: " + replyData['phoneNumber'+i]+chr(10);
message_txt.htmlText += "<br>";
}

} else {
message_txt.htmlText = "There was a problem submitting your search. The server may be down or not responding.";
}
}


this shows records like this:
VENUENAME
ADDRESS
PHONENUMBER

VENUENAME
ADDRESS
PHONENUMBER

VENUENAME
ADDRESS
PHONENUMBER

NEED TO CHANGE IT.....CAN ANYONE HELP, here's the PHP

// MySQL connection
$server = 'localhost';
$username="nigolmvc";
$password="oscarlm4675";
$database="nigolmvc_nightspotz";
//$tbl="venues_test";
$tbl="venues";
//
// Purely for detecting if a $_POST value was passed successfully
$tripwire = 0;
$tmp = array();
$err = array();
// List of variable names to be passed from Flash. Used in assembling the query.
// Delimited this to just the venueName for now, because I don't know how the combo boxes will pass data.
// ************************************************** ****************************
$postList = array('venueName','venueType','address','city','st ate','areaCode','ageGroup');
// ************************************************** ****************************

// This for() loop *should* cycle through the $_POST variables looking for matches based on the values
// contained inside the $postList array, and assemble the query based on positive matches.
// I've set the incoming datatype to $_GET rather than $_POST for testing purposes; you can run mock
// tests in the browser window like so:
// http://www.nightspotz.com/test_sear...p?name=nacional
// http://www.nightspotz.com/test_sear...ch.php?city=los angeles
// Just make sure to switch it back to $_POST when you prep this file for Flash usage.
for($i = 0; $i < count($postList); $i++) {
$tmp[$tripwire]['var'] = $postList[$i];
if(isset($_POST[$postList[$i]])) {
//if(isset($_GET[$postList[$i]])) {
$tmp[$tripwire]['val'] = $_POST[$postList[$i]];
//$tmp[$tripwire]['val'] = $_GET[$postList[$i]];
$tripwire++;
} else {
$tmp[$tripwire]['val'] = '<null>';
}
}

// Query assembly
$query = 'SELECT * FROM '.$tbl;
// If any of the $_POST data is *not* blank...
if($tripwire > 0) {
$query .= ' WHERE ';
for($w = 0; $w < $tripwire; $w++) {
if($tmp[$w]['var'] !== 'venueName') {
$query .= $tmp[$w]['var'].' = "'.$tmp[$w]['val'].'"';
} else {
// The % signs are a wildcard character for searches in MySQL. It helps for partial name searches.
$query .= $tmp[$w]['var'].' LIKE "%'.$tmp[$w]['val'].'%"';
}
if($w < ($tripwire - 1)) { $query .= ' AND '; }
}
}
$query .= ' ORDER BY '.$postList[0];

// Connect to server and execute query
mysql_connect($server,$username,$password) or die('error0='.mysql_error());
@mysql_select_db($database) or die('error1='.mysql_error());
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('error2='.mysql_error());
$tempNum = mysql_num_rows($result);
mysql_close();

// parse data for Flash
$out = 'qry='.rawurlencode($query).'&';
for($i = 0; $i < $tempNum; $i++) {
$out .= 'venueName'.$i.'='.rawurlencode(mysql_result($resu lt,$i,"venueName")).'&';
$out .= 'venueType'.$i.'='.rawurlencode(mysql_result($resu lt,$i,"venueType")).'&';
$out .= 'city'.$i.'='.rawurlencode(mysql_result($result,$i ,"city")).'&';
$out .= 'state'.$i.'='.rawurlencode(mysql_result($result,$ i,"state")).'&';
$out .= 'address'.$i.'='.rawurlencode(mysql_result($result ,$i,"address")).'&';
$out .= 'areaCode'.$i.'='.rawurlencode(mysql_result($resul t,$i,"areaCode")).'&';
$out .= 'ageGroup'.$i.'='.rawurlencode(mysql_result($resul t,$i,"ageGroup")).'&';
$out .= 'url'.$i.'='.rawurlencode(mysql_result($result,$i, "url")).'&';
}
// A number you can use in a for() loop inside FlashMX when retrieving data.
$out .= 'totalNum='.$tempNum.'& ';
echo $out;
// Temporary output to a temp file for testing purposes.
//writeToFile('./!!!SEARCH_OUTPUT.txt', '../', rawurldecode($out));

// This is here just so I can see what the PHP file is outputting...

global $err;
$old = umask(0);
chmod($parent, 0777);
