I?m new to Flash and would appreciate some help if anyone would be so kind?
I?ve search this forum and found answers to specific questions, but I?m in need
of help with some basic design issues.

I?m developing a simple UI form (to be used as an online glossary of defined
terms) which will retrieve some xml data based on user selection. The form
consists of:

1) a combo box
2) a textarea component
3) 26 buttons labeled A through Z
4) xml connector

My design approach is to use the xml connector to retrieve the data from an
xml file, use the combo box to display the terms for a given letter of the
alphabet, use the text area to display the definition of the selected term, and
use the buttons to define the set of terms available to the combo box. I
imagine a dataset component is also needed to make this all work.

The schema for the xml data is as follows (note the schema it can?t be
changed because it is also used for a different task in a client-server app):

<glossary>
<terms_a>
<entry>
<term></term>
<definition></definition>
</entry>
</terms_a>
<terms_b>
<entry>
<term></term>
<definition> </definition>
</entry>
</terms_b>

<!-- etc.-->
<!-- ect. -->
</glossary>

My question is how to tie these components together (if this is even the right
approach). I just need general guidance - I?m comfortable that I can set up
the needed bindings, labels, and attach the script to components.

Thanks,
