How To Load A Document From An Array ?

Question

Hi All
If i have an xml file
<WhitetimeDocuments>
     <documents>
          <id>WhitetimeIntro</id>
          <name>Introduction To White Time</name>
          <location>WT_Intro.txt</location>
     </documents>
     <documents>
          <id>WhitetimeHealing</id>
          <name>White Time As A Healing Modality</name>
          <location>WT_Healing.txt</location>
     </documents>
     <documents>
          <id>WhitetimeClassOutline</id>
          <name>Outline For White Time Classes</name>
          <location>WT_Class_Intro.txt</location>
     </documents>
     <documents>
          <id>WhitetimeFacts</id>
          <name>Facts About White Time</name>
          <location>WT_Facts.txt</location>
     </documents>
</WhitetimeDocuments>
How can i load the document into a textarea component based on a button click by the user ?
I have the httpservice call and a seperate Button Component for each document choice, but how do i then load the document ?
Also how can a generate a dynamic list of buttons, based on the labelField 'Name' instead of having a static list of Button components ?
Many Many Thanks

Document should be on the server at some www.baseaddress.com/WT_Intro.txt.
Assuming your XML is also on the server...
Make the call to load the XML, parse the XML and get the url for the text file.
Also Here you can read the names and pus them into an array list
arraycollection: {"Name":value};
For each url retrieved from the xml make a new call to the server and loat the
txt. On the response you should have the text. (It is better to make the calls
chained one after each other, since the response come back asynchronously, e.g
on the response of one call make another call...)
The names retrieved already can be passed as a dataProvider to a button bar
component.
