my questions is, i would like to display my data to flash in a movie clip called container…  
but i want to display everything in this movie clip as a list.

inside my movie clip i have 3 dynamic texts date\_txt, title\_txt and desc\_txt  
in my private function LoadXML i was playing with this:  
container\_mc.date\_txt.text = news.date;  
container\_mc.title\_txt.text = news.title;  
container\_mc.desc\_txt.text = news.cdata;

so it tells me that property news is undefined… i know i’m really close! but please help me out understand this thing and make it work too of course! i want to display everything on my xml data as a list

like this:

date  
title  
description1

date  
title  
description2

and so on…
