I'm trying to find a good tutorial and looked in all the usual places but can't find one that lets me load in images and text from the locations given in an xml file.
I want to create something along the lines of the main banner you see on www.channel4.com where images and titles are called in from external source and can be easily transitioned by animation contained in the flash file.
can anyone point me in the right direction ?

I seen something that let me load in images and text on button click, but im after the ability to place the actioncript on the desired frame to then load in the information from the xml file.. as if i were manually adding in an image and text to my animation. The www.channel4.com page is the best example i can give but i want a basic solution

Thanks for that pointer. The only thing i dont think I will be able to do is style the dynamic text in the way that I want.
I found most of what I need from 2 of these tutorals and I will mash them together.
This covers loading images
