This list works best when people ask specific questions. Can you be more explicit about what you don't understand? Getting the external XML file into your app? Use <mx:XML source="...">. Looping over the <button> elements? Look at some E4X examples. Extracting the <label> and <text> for a particular <button>? Look at some E4X examples.

Well I am new to Flex. But I have started building simple applications. One of the top most problem I am facing is working with XML and Button. Can you please assist me in this. I am explaining my problem: I have an external XML file like this: <Menu> <button> <idnt>0</idnt> <label>General Health</label> <text>General Health pages is currently under construction</text> </button> <button> <idnt>1</idnt> <label>Mental Health</label> <text>Mental Health pages is currently under construction</text> </button> </Menu> Now I want to generate Buttons Dynamically from this XML. And the second thing which is the most problematic is that how I code it so that when I press the Button labled "General Health", it will show the same text as in the XML tag coresponding to tag "<label>General Health</label>" ? I badly need this. I am realy confused on this. Kindly help me. Regards ..::DeX ________________________________ Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell? Check out new cars at Yahoo!
