Hello, this has helped me.

But not on this part..

my_lst.addItem({label:userTitle, data:userTitle});

I want the data to be what’s inside the news.

Well, actually what I’m using is User.. It’s for a little app I’m making..

I have this code:

function announceLabel(e:ListEvent):void {
var list:List = e.target as List;
var item:Object = e.userTitle;
trace(”Label: ” + item.label);
trace(”Label displayed: ” + list.itemToLabel(item));
infoBox.text = list.itemToLabel(item);
infoBox.appendText(”\n”);
infoBox.appendText(item.label);
}

to display the data into a text box, but I don’t have any data.

Help?

Does anyone know how what script to use to modify an existing MP3 code, so that the file path of the MP3 being loaded is read from an XML document?

Hi Joe,

Could you pls re check now? Sometimes when you try to copy from the blog, due to the format, the code revert some errors. try to copy all the code and to past it in plain text.
But i think the problem is on the xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(“news.xml”));

Maybe you have only one “, i/o “”

When i copy your code exactly, i get the following errors.

TypeError: Error #1085: The element type “news” must be terminated by the matching end-tag “”.
at Xml_fla::MainTimeline/LoadXML()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
