Hi,  
I am new to Flash. i am trying to get some texts from an XML file onto a text field and animate it. I am able to get the texts on to the text field but unable to animate it. I believe I have to convert it to a symbol in order to achieve this job. But, I don’t know how to do that using Actionscript. Can anybody throw some light on it?  
Thank You.  
Abi.
