External .txt or xml to formatted table in dynamic text box

1

I’m creating a table by using the <textformat> in flash mx 2004, and I have it working fine within flash, but I’d like to be able to use an external .txt or xml file to fill in the table content as it will be updated frequently. Anyone know if this is possible?

Here’s what I have for all internal data:

var rowHeaders = “<b>Year Album Artist Credit</b>”;

var row_1 = “2005 Late Registration Kanye West Engineer”;
var row_2 = “2005 Get Lifted [DualDisc] John Legend Engineer”;
var row_3 = “2005 PCD The *****cat Dolls Engineer”;
var row_4 = “2005 Way It Is[Clean] Keyshia Cole Engineer”;
var row_5 = "2005 The List Goes On…\

table_txt.htmlText = “<textformat>”;
table_txt.htmlText += rowHeaders;
table_txt.htmlText += row_1;
table_txt.htmlText += row_2 ;
table_txt.htmlText += row_3 ;
table_txt.htmlText += row_4 ;
table_txt.htmlText += row_5 ;
table_txt.htmlText += “</textformat>”;

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
