I am new to all of this, so please bear with me!  
I have just got a copy of flash MX, and have been told that it can import and mess around with xml from any source.  
I need to get the xml from this source:  
[http://p.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?c=UK%20news&o=xml](http://p.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?c=UK%20news&o=xml)  
which is in this kind of format:

- \<moreovernews\>
  - \<article id="\_130300896"\>  
\<url\>[http://c.moreover.com/click/here.pl?x130300896](http://c.moreover.com/click/here.pl?x130300896)\</url\>  
\<headline\_text\>Labour chief whip calls in Short\</headline\_text\>  
\<source\>BBC\</source\>  
\<media\_type\>text\</media\_type\>  
\<cluster\>moreover…\</cluster\>  
\<tagline /\>  
\<document\_url\>[http://news.bbc.co.uk](http://news.bbc.co.uk)\</document\_url\>  
\<harvest\_time\>Mar 4 2004 1:04PM\</harvest\_time\>  
\<access\_registration /\>  
\<access\_status /\>  
\</article\>  
I need to take out the ‘headline\_text’, and ‘document\_url’ sections, and put them into a horizontal scrolling bar across the bottom of the page, with the text scrolling across the bottom, and when the mouse is put over it, the hyperlink accessible.  
Any help that i can get would be greatly appreciated, becasue i am really, really struggling with this at the moment. I don’t really even know where to start.  
With thanks,  
Matthew King
