I have been at this for a few hours - trying to COMPLETELY grasp the way Flash reads XML. I am trying to put live text over an existing MC and assign that MC a link through XML. I am having serious issues. PLEASE help me understand through assistance.

I am stuck on firstChild, nextSibling, attributes, and so on.
