Alright, I’m trying to import multipile sets of data into flash, but I don’t know how to do it. What I want to do is this:

Have a text document/databse like:

Name of item to be clicked:Name  
Data of item:-2  
Data of item2:+5

Name of item to be clicked:Name 2  
Data of item:+4  
Data of item2:-7

Ect.

How can I get flash to dynamically add the item name, have it be clickable, and when clicked alter base values inside the flash document? Say I have value “x” set at 0, and when I click on item 1, x is now -2, when I click on item 2, it’s now 4.
