I’m new to XML, so please bear with me.

I’ve set up a test page in Flash:-

function loadXML(loaded) {  
if (loaded) {  
\_root.resource = this.firstChild.childNodes[2].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;  
resource\_txt.text = \_root.resource;  
} else {  
content = “file not loaded!”;  
}  
}  
xmlData = new XML();  
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;  
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;  
xmlData.load(“MBAtestXML.xml”);

which should read in a hyperlink from an XML file. This is as far as I have got:-

\<?xml version=“1.0”?\>

\<resource\>  
\<\<linkItem url=“[http://adobe.com/](http://adobe.com/)”\>link\</linkItem\>  
\</resource\>  
\</laboratory\>

The problem is, how do I make ‘link’ clickable in the flash file?  
Thank’s in advance.
