I am creating an XML-driven events calendar. What I have so far may be viewed at [www.harlemedc.biz/activities.htm](http://www.harlemedc.biz/activities.htm).

Within the activities XML file are twelve “month” nodes, within which there are up to three “item” nodes. Each “item” may contain one “event” string (displayed, slightly overlaying the 3-character month abbreviation) and one “info” string, describing the “event” in more detail.

What I am trying to do is display the info for an item whenever a displayed “event” is clicked. I’ve determined that I can detect the click using a TextEvent.LINK listener. Still cannot figure how to retrieve the proper “info” upon clicking its related “event”, in a simple manner.

Does this make sense to anyone? I can provide more details.

Thanks!
