yes yes, XML and flash..
your going to be dynamically generating the text from the XML file, well when each word from the xml is parsed check if its in the glossary. iwrite a function if it is, and use that to create a blank_mc the width of the word.. gonna have to use monotype though.. instance the name of the blank_mc like "word_1" and attach a onRollover to it. now, the tricky part is the info in the bubble.. use the blank_mc's instance name to link to the glossary item. "word_1" is something like ... "dog" in the glossary, or even instance the name exactly like the item.. dog=dog. so when the popup is called, it checks the glossary, im assuming its XML too.. and uses the insantce name of its blank_mc to check it.
hope that helps
