i need a little help with some action script and xml, ive got a news tickers as such but its shows quotes instead, but my problem is i would like the quotes to crossfade between each other instead of just fading out and poping up. also is it posible to code a xml page to display some parts of text to be bold for example

" the quote is in no bold  
**but the name is in bold**"

[FONT=Courier New][LEFT][AS]

function loadXML(loaded) {  
if (loaded) {  
xmlNode = this.firstChild;  
caption = [];  
url = [];  
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;  
for (i=0; i\<total; i++) {  
caption\* = xmlNode.childNodes\*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;  
url\* = xmlNode.childNodes\*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;  
}  
first\_item();  
} else {  
content = “file not loaded!”;  
}  
}  
xmlData = new XML();  
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;  
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;  
xmlData.load("\<A href=“[http://www.funnycrew.co.uk/quotes/quotes.xml?blarg="+new"](http://www.funnycrew.co.uk/quotes/quotes.xml?blarg=%22+new%22)\>[http://www.funnycrew.co.uk/quotes/quotes.xml?blarg=](http://www.funnycrew.co.uk/quotes/quotes.xml?blarg=)”+new Date().getTime());  
//  
function first\_item() {

delay = 6000;  
p = 0;  
display§;  
p++;  
}  
function timer() {  
myInterval = setInterval(ticker, delay);  
function ticker() {  
clearInterval(myInterval);  
if (p == total) {  
p = 0;  
}  
fadeout();  
}  
}  
function display(pos) {  
newsMC.newsText.\_alpha = 100;  
newsMC.newsText.text = caption[pos];  
timer();  
}  
function fadeout() {  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (newsMC.newsText.\_alpha\>=0) {  
newsMC.newsText.\_alpha -= 1;  
} else {  
display§;  
p++;  
delete this.onEnterFrame;  
}  
};  
}
