Most of the threads about loading xml data into Flash text boxes and MCs involve menus or photo galleries. I’m trying to do something simpler (well, it’s kinda gallery-like I guess).  
I have a column of 10 buttons (not dynamically generated).

Clicking on button number ones should:  
a) load a jpg into an empty MC (done).  
b) load a text caption into an empty text box  
– no thumbnails here.

All the samples I’ve browsed have the text loading tied into figuring out which dynamically generated thumbnail is being clicked (the old i++). I just want one at a time:

on (release) {  
loadMovie(“sites/preview\_bh.jpg”, “previewArea/previewer”);  
//load text\_bh.txt or text\_bh.xml into textbox (named “caption”);  
}

Also, how do you use the actionscript formater for these posts?
