AS2: populate flash text fields with an html table

programming flash
1

How can I use a ready made html table to populate flash dynamic textfileds? Is this possible in AS2, im more of an AS3 guy and this is a hand me down project?

its a basic html table structure:

<table>
<tr>
<td></<td>
</tr>
</table>

so theoretically I could use:

flight_mc.airline_str = flight_xmlnode.firstChild.nodeValue;

to where flight_xmlnode = table

right?

Any thoughts, all is helpfull,

Thanks
