Haven't come across anything exactly like that recently - if you can't find a tutorial that does exactly what you want, you might have to put a couple together....?
I'm new to flash myself, but if you can figure out loadVars in flash then you'll be heading in the right direction. I'd have to say, having worked on a dynamic flash thing recently, importing XML was fairly easy to get the hang of. Maybe give XML a chance? You'll find a lot of tutorials on feeding XML into flash for menus and dynamically generated text...
One way of doing it would be to generate some movie clips (for the list of headlines), then script the movie clips so that they set the value of a dynamic text area to whatever text you want to display.
Of couse, you could always hang on until someone with more than a few weeks of exposure to flash answers yr question... :)
