aye, it is Tom [Bindable] public var questionaire:XML;
that's how I can use the buttons to page thru each node of the xml and update it's attributes with controls (which works fine) <mx:Text text="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" width="20%"/> <mx:TextArea width="80%" height="100%" id="questionText" text="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/> <mx:Text text="cursor index:{cursor}" width="10%"/> <mx:HSlider value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
