Hi guys,

What I would like to accomplish is to have a textarea populated with an xml file when a button is clicked. I have 3 buttons. Each should load a different .xml file into the textarea.

What would be the easiest way to go about it? Can I utilize the xml connector for this? If so, how is this done?

Basically I would like to have the same effect as described here only that the data should be pulled from a xml instead of a text file. [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/multiple\_dynamictext.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/multiple_dynamictext.htm)

Or is it as easy as just exchanging loadText.load(“TEXT1.txt”); for “Text1.xml”?

Thank you!
