Hi I’m hoping someone will please help as i’m pulling my hair out trying to get this to work and am running out of time.

I’m creating a flash site that has certain text ( bibliography, CV, statement etc) called from an XML file. The structure of the XML is below, the problem is i cannot get flash to display hyperlinks from the XML file. i have tried CData and xlink and looked at all the forums and tutorials i can find but none of them seem to work. no matter what i have tried all i get is what ever text i put in the \<[CDATA[]]\> display as the code and not a link.
