Hey there…i got my xml based menu finally completed…but now, i would like to put it inside of a scroller/mx scrollpane component so that people can scroll through all of the items that the XML file creates…anyone have any ideas? ive pasted the code and a link to the source files…feel free to tear em apart…

clipYPos = 0;  
menuXml = new XML();  
menuXml.ignoreWhite = true;  
menuXml.onLoad = function(success){  
if(success){  
menuItem = this.firstChild.childNodes;  
//trace(contentData);  
for(var i=0; i\<menuItem.length; i++){  
item = \_root.attachMovie(“itemClip”,“itemClip”, + i);  
item.headline.text = menuItem.attributes.name;  
item.myUrl = menuItem.attributes.url;  
item.content.text = menuItem.attributes.content;  
spacing = item.content.textHeight + item.headline.\_height + 20  
item.\_x = 200;  
item.\_y = clipYPos;  
clipYPos = clipYPos + spacing;

}  
}  
}  
menuXml.load(“myMenu.xml” ;
