Hi all,

I’m fighting my way thru dynamic text via xml and I’m not making many progresses 😕  
I’ve borrowed a few examples from the tutorial area and tried to adapt them to what I need but I still can’t achieve what I want.

I basically need to have a menu being loaded from a xml. Sometimes my menu will need to have 2 columns and others, 3 columns, depending on the the number of text links in my xml.  
I can make it work with one column, but I don’t know how to adapt it to have 2 or 3 or more. The only thing I achieved is having the same content in both columns… 😕

Here’s my .fla and .xml file if anyone feels like helping! It will be highly appreciated!

Cheers
