Creating a dynamic XML list of links

greetings.

i’d like to create a movie that generates a list of links based on data read from an XML file. ideally, the movie would read a URL and description from the XML file and build a clickable link that would read something like “Kirupa.com - Shock Flash Resource for Tutorials, etc… www.kirupa.com”. i’d like the text to then be displayed inside of a small movieclip that would be duplicated for each link.

i’ve tried doing this myself, and despite all the tutorials i’ve read i still can’t manage to learn the code to read and parse XML files correctly. if anyone could help me out, specifically with the reading/parsing of the XML files and the termination of the loop (ie: when flash has reached the end of the XML file), it would be greatly appreciated.
