Hi,

Please help; I've spent almost a week searching this site with little luck. I need to:
1)start with an xml file
2)generate a list of terms (as in a glossary or dictionary)
3)mouseover each term to display a definition next to the list of terms

I've got 1 and 2 working perfectly with some help from postings by Ed Reyes on this site.

Here's a little sample of my xml file:
<GLOSSARY>
<links id="001">
<term>Caliper tool</term>
<def>A caliper tool is an adjustable measuring tool.</def>
</links>
</GLOSSARY>

The xml is then converted to a variable called links, and the code below generates the list of terms and displays them in a dynamic textbox called list.

list = "";
for (i=0; i<links.length; i++) {
list += links[i].term + "<br>";
}
stop();

From here, I just don't know what to do. I've read about using functions and movieclips, but nothing that I can get to work. Any help at all would be so appreciated...even if it's only a hint at what I should try to do next.

Thanks a bunch,
Debbie
