Very basic xml for loop question. this is the xml

\<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“iso-8859-1”?\>

\<inventor\>

\<person\>

\<name\> abc\</name\>  
\<comment \>first comment\</comment\>  
\</person\>

\<person\>

\<name\> xyz\</name\>  
\<comment \>second comment\</comment\>  
\</person\>  
\</inventor\>

NOw in the Fla there is two dynamic text field with instance name "name\_txt"and “comment\_txt” and some thumbnail images as button representing different persons “1”, “2”, “3” and so on.

What I want when the user click the buttons the name and the comment will change accordingly. I think for loop is best for this one.

Shall be glad if any one give me some good and effective tutorial on this.

Regards

Worthless.
