Hi! Sorry about my english 😛

What I have to do it’s a “profile viewer”: for each member of a band I have the profile (some text, and only text).

I was thinking about to use this code on the XML file:

```auto
 <?xml version="1.0"?> 
<members>
<graffin>
<content>blah blah blah</content>
</graffin>
<jay>
<content>blah blah blah</content>
</jay>
<brett>
<content>blah blah blah</content>
</brett>
<hetson>
<content>blah blah blah</content>
</hetson>
<brian>
<content>blah blah blah</content>
</brian>
<brooks>
<content>blah blah blah</content>
</brooks>
</member>

```

So… On the movie clip that show the picture of the member I’ll have a textbox to show the ‘content’ of the profiles. On the keyframe where I have the pic of, for example, Brooks, I’ll have this textbox. I want to parse only the content of Brooks, and I wanna do the same for each member (they are 6… yeah, 3 guitars lol).

Well, I need a (huge) help. I’m a little lost (sure?).
