Hello,

I am trying to build a dynamic xml driven application

The xml file contains an \<item\> node which in turn contains \<title\> and \<description\> information

The finished product should :  
for each \<item\> node

- create a dynamic mc
  - set \_y offset

- loadMovie template.swf
- populate the dynamic text fields (of template.swf) with \<title\> and \<description\> data  
next

At the moment I am having problems with the last stage [populating the dynamic text fields]. The xml data is available. The only issue is correctly referring to the dynamic mc and its controls / variables.

See the attached zip for current source files

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Steven Jenkins
