XML Combobox



I'm trying to use AS3 to populate a combobox using external XML. I know it can be done, but my web searches turn up mostly questions, rather than answers. My XML (companies.xml) looks like this: [code:38quadl0]<?xml version="1.0"?> <companies> <company name="Company1"></company> <company name="Company2"></company> <company name="Company3"></company> </companies>[/code:38quadl0] It really [i:38quadl0]is [/i:38quadl0]that simple, but I need to do it externally because it will be regularly updated by someone who doesn't have flash installed. All I have for ActionScript so far is: [code:38quadl0]import fl.controls.ComboBox; import fl.data.DataProvider; var combo_IMs:ComboBox = new ComboBox(); combo_IMs.setSize(150, 22); combo_IMs.move(20, 20); addChild(combo_IMs);[/code:38quadl0] I have been trying all day with no success - what you see above is the only part that works. It can't be that hard! Please help me! :cry: Failing that, could someone just point me in the direction of a good tutorial with sample files?
