[whisper]Please note that I am still a Actionscript n00b, so there are probably many different (and better) ways of doing this, but atleast like this I understand it :D[/whisper]

Well simply put, the menu above Ive made _should_ load some text into the items, and that text should fade in when the user rolls over the item (and the item expands). Well as you can see, the text does not apper, although the xml _does_ load.

It did work, but then I changed it to load the items from the library and then load the information from the xml into them, instead of loading the text from xml into the items on the stage.

Why is it not showing the text anymore?

Thanks.

BTW here is the old example where it works fine.
