I’ve searched high and low, even in book stores and I find a simple way to build a list from xml.

What i would like to do is build an event listing from a xml file and have flash build the list dynamically.

the xml would look something like this:

```auto

<xml>
   <item>
      <event>event 1</event>
      <date>01/02/03</date>
      <location>California</location>
      <ticket><a href="www.dot.com>Tickets</a></tickets>
   </item>

   <item>
      <event>event 2</event>
      <date>04/05/06</date>
      <location>New York</location>
      <ticket><a href="www.dot.com>Tickets</a></tickets>
   </item>
</xml>

```

and to be displayed in the swf as

event 1 01/02/03 California Tickets  
event 2 04/05/06 New York Tickets

Any Idea or good simple tutorial would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
