The site I’m working on requires that I load a list of information (whether they be pictures, videos, games, etc.) from an XML file. The XML structure would be similar to this:

```auto
<?xml version="2.0"?>
<rss>
     <category>
          <categoryName>CatName</categoryName>
          <categoryItems>
               <item>
                    <![CDATA[//ITEM DATA HERE]]>
               </item>
          </categoryItems>
     </category>
</rss>

```

Now, getting the list of categories and items is the easy part, I could just use attachMovie(), and edit some of the movie elements inside, change the text, and place them how I need it. The hard part is…how would I add scrollbars when there are say…50 items? Not sure how or even if it will be possible, but I would like not to use a datagrid or listbox if I don’t have to.
