hello there,

i just managed to do the gotoandlearn tutorial for getting data into flash  
very impressive!

but it uses componets called the list.

can someone help me with how to get it into a textfield instance?

ty!

```auto

var theXML:XML = new XML();
theXML.ignoreWhite = true;

theXML.onLoad = function() {
    var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
    for(i=0;i<nodes.length;i++) {
        theList.addItem(nodes*.firstChild.nodeValue,i);
                }
}

theXML.load("http://thesite.com/lalalaa");

```
