Author Dynamic Flash GUI ref XML

Hey Guys,

I need to create a dynamic Flash GUI using XML to determine the formatting.

I have an XML price list project where there are a few different categories.
The graphics for each category need to follow on one after another;

eg
Category Title-1
____________
Price-1
____________
Price-2
____________
Price-3
____________
Category Title-2
____________
Price-1
____________
Price-2
____________
etc.

Each category title sits under the previous categories last price and there
are lines separating each price.

One month there may be 3 prices within a category and the next month there may
be 5.

I need to, depending on the amount of prices within the XML for a given month,
format the graphical positions of the separating lines and category titles to
suit in Flash.

eg
Category Title-1
____________
Price-1
____________
Price-2
____________
Price-3
____________
Price-4
____________
Price-5
____________
Category Title-2
____________
Price-1
____________
Price-2
____________
etc.


How on earth is this possible I ask? I haven't got a great head for coding so
go easy on me eh?

Hi,
you may want to have a look at this

where I load in an XML and draw out a table

or maybe you can post your XML here so it will be easier to discuss ways to go
abt doing it

Hope that helps
