Hi,  
I am using a slideshow gallery using XML. I have thumbnails which scroll and when you click on them you see the larger image

Here is a piece from my XML document –  
\<image thumb\_url=“thumb1.jpg” full\_url=“big1.jpg” title=“Celebrations” /\>

Is there any way to format the text within the XML document so that I can customize the color, size, font, etc. ?

Or to do it within the flash document?  
Any help on this is very much appreciated!  
Thanks
