I was able to tweak Kirupa’s “Displaying XML Data in Flash” tutorial to use as a text banner for a baseball website (displays old newspaper headlines). However, I am unfamiliar with ActionScript and I do not know how to randomize the data from the XML file. The tweaked xmldata.fla and xmldata.xml should be attached. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Tammi
