XML load 5 first messages in textbox

programming flash
1

hello, i want news from my db displayed in a textbox through xml. How can i tell the file to just display the 5 first entries from my db ?

i have a db now with 6 entries. my xml is:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
<calendar>
  <events>
    <date>05 February 2008</date> 
    <content><![CDATA[ verjaardag <b>Bjorn</b>]]></content>
  </events>
  <events>
    <date>31 March 2008</date> 
    <content><![CDATA[ Verjaardag <b>Inne</b>]]></content>
  </events>
  <events>
    <date>24 July 2008</date> 
    <content><![CDATA[ Verjaardag Bart]]></content>
  </events>
  <events>
    <date>04 August 2008</date> 
    <content><![CDATA[ Verjaardag Mama]]></content>
  </events>
  <events>
    <date>25 September 2008</date> 
    <content><![CDATA[ Verjaardag Inge]]></content>
  </events>
  <events>
    <date>09 December 2008</date> 
    <content><![CDATA[ Verjaardag Papa]]></content>
  </events>
</calendar>

i know how to load the whole bunch in my flash, like:


var output_xml = new XML();
output_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
output_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
 if (success) {
  output_txt.htmlText = this.firstChild;
 } else {
  output_txt.htmlText = "Error loading XML";
 }
};
output_txt.htmlText = "Loading...";
output_xml.load("http://localhost/cms/done/xmlcalendar.php");

but i don’t want that ( isn’t well formatted also ).
What i want is like on www.diddy.com (click diddy news in menu). Just display the first 5 entries of my db on a good way, and when i click next button display message 5 - 10 etc

How can i do that ?
