Hello all, first time posting here …… I was hoping somebody can help me out or point me in the right direction…

Heres my situation:

I followed a tutorial about using the XML connector component, that has to do with loading text into a text area for example….everything works great!..but I keep wondering is it all possible for the data “text” that is coming from the XML file to trigger a movie clip that’s placed on the stage already…or library….or change visibility… or play this or that movie clip?..

EG…

Heres the XML stuff

\<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8” ?\>  
\<DATA\>  
\<STATUS\>0\</STATUS\>

the status part only changes between 2 numbers…0 and 1….is it possible to make those numbers in the XML trigger a movie clip to play or show itself?

EG… If 0 is found in the XML file movie clip 0 would play/showitself… is 1 is found in the XML file movie clip 1 would play/showitself?

I tried to explain it as best as I can…any help is much appreciated !!!
