i need to display this dynamically generating buttons from xml into moveclip with scrollbar in as3 pls help me…i had attached my code…

// Define a new name for the loaded XML that is the data in myLoader

// Run the "for each" loop to iterate through all of the menu items listed in the external XML file
for each (var topic:XML in myXML..topic) {

// Just some trace I used while testiing
//trace(listurl);
// This all pertains to the style of the button, alter values to your liking
