I’m new to AS/Flash, and trying to import a feed from XML and have it scroll (looped) across the page. I can import the XML and display it using the code below, but don’t know how to make it scroll. Any ideas?

headlineXML = new XML();

headlineXML.onLoad = myLoad;  
headlineXML.load(“headlines.xml”);

function myLoad(ok) {  
if (ok == true) {  
Publish(this.firstChild);  
}  
}

function Publish(HeadlineXMLNode) {  
if (HeadlineXMLNode.nodeName.toUpperCase() == “BROADCAST”) {  
content = “”;  
story = HeadlineXMLNode.firstChild;  
while (story != null) {  
if (story.nodeName.toUpperCase() == “STORY”) {  
lead = “”;  
body = “”;  
URL = “”;  
element = story.firstChild;  
while (element != null) {  
if (element.nodeName.toUpperCase() == “LEAD”) {  
lead = element.firstChild.nodeValue;  
}  
if (element.nodeName.toUpperCase() == “BODY”) {  
body = element.firstChild.nodeValue;  
}  
if (element.nodeName.toUpperCase() == “URL”) {  
URL = element.firstChild.nodeValue;  
}  
element = element.nextSibling;  
}  
content += “\<font size=’+2’ color=’#3366cc’\>\<a href=’”+URL+"’\>"+lead+"\</a\>\</font\>"+body+"";  
txt.htmltext=content;  
}  
story = story.nextSibling;  
}  
}  
}

Thanks
