Anyone know of a good tutorial or source code for an info-filled xml driven scrollable list?

I’m looking to create a scrollable list that displays information fed from an xml document.  
Here’s an example of the content:

|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|  
| thumb | Title: Sample01 | Speaker: John Doe | Date: 2007/03/12 |  
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|  
| Description: Description text that is expandable so that if a lot of |  
| text is necessary the frame will expand vertically to |

| fit it all. |
| --- |

And the menu will expand depending on the number of listings in my xml file.

I understand the xml part but I can’t figure out how to create the Flash. I assume that I’ll be designating dynamic text boxes (“title\_txt”, “spkr\_txt”, “date\_txt”, “desc\_txt”) but how do I tell Flash to create that for every listing I add to an xml file?  
-the list item (as in everything contained in that “box”) would act as a button to call an audio or video clip into a single player.  
Thanks!
