Hello all-

I need some advice. I have played around with developing Rich Internet Apps via flash for a bit, but I have hit something that I am seeking some advice concerning. I am creating an “[Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com)”'ish search application, that will performs a search based on a user’s input, and returns the result data in an XML packet. The data is book information (ie. title, publisher, description, etc).

How could I best use the XML packet to display the data. This data can be anywhere from 1 record, to 2000 records, so I am not quite sure how to pleasantly display this, so a user can scroll through all results and view the information within the Flash app. If anyone has a suggestion, I would greatly appreciate it. I am starting to look towards non flash alternatives, such as just using a style sheet to display the data, but would like to have some more dynamic interaction to the results.

Thanks again for any help.  
Chris
