Hi, I’m brand new to to trying to add xml to my flash files and have just completed the displaying xml data tutorial on kirupa.

I followed it fine, and tailored it for my needs, but now I’m a bit stuck with what to do now.

The current file displays the first record, that’s fine, but I want to show (for example, the 3 most recent records, on after each other.

These will eventually go into a scrollable movieclip, but my problem right now, is how i get more than one record displayed.

I guess this is a pretty simple problem and I don’t expect it done for me, just some directions please.

I’m guesssing i’ll need to duplicate some movieclips or run a for loop at some point.

any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.
