I am trying to create a simple RSS news feed that loads XML items into a scrollpane in Flash 8. Everything is working fine with the loading until I try to load my dynamically generated MC (which contain dynamic text fields that reference the XML) into a scrollpane.

What I have done:  
I created an empty container (it has a box inside to test loading) with a Linkage ID and I have set the scrollpane’s content path to the container’s name. I then use createEmptyMovieClip (I have seen examples using attachMovie instead, but it will not work with my XML setup) to create a mc inside the empty container. I use 2 instances in my example: one without the scrollpane which works fine, and the one with the scrollpane that only loads the contents of the empty container (no xml data).

I have scoured the forums for about 10 hours and have found people with the same problem but yet no solution. I have included a simplified example of the situation if anyone could possibility take the time to look at it for me. Your help is greatly appreciated!! Thank you!
