Making dynamic app

Question

Hi, I am trying to use external XML file to display images
and text. I use XML object to hold my XML data. But I don't know
how to bind it with mx tags:
Here is the XML file:
<Slides>
<slide id="1">
<image>images/womanInExer.jpeg</image>
<headingText>Exercise for
Beginners</headingText>
<descText>Learn how to get started on your exercise
program from your Health.com</descText>
</slide>
<slide id="2">
<image>images/magnifyingMan.jpeg</image>
<headingText>Think again</headingText>
<descText>about your Health and
Fitness</descText>
</slide>
<Slides>
Here is the Application:
<mx:HBox xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
width="680" height="300" creationComplete="getXMLData()"
currentState="slide2">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function xmlDataHandler(event:Event):void
var loader:URLLoader = event.target as URLLoader;
myXML = new XML(loader.data);
var arr:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(loader.data);
imageData = arr.event.Slides.slide.image;
private function getXMLData():void
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var request:URLRequest = new
URLRequest("headerAnimData.xml");
loader.load(request);
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlDataHandler);
</mx:Script>
]]>
<mx:HTTPService id="imageService" url="headerAnimData.xml"
result="xmlDataHandler(event)"/>
<mx:states>
<mx:State name="slide2" id="a">
<mx:SetProperty target="{headerImage}" id="aImage"
name="source" value="{myXML.slide[1].image}" />
<mx:SetProperty target="{headingText}" name="text"
value="Think again" />
<mx:SetProperty target="{descText}" name="text"
value="about Your Health and Fitness" />
</mx:State>
<mx:State name="slide3" id="b">
<mx:SetProperty target="{headerImage}" name="source"
value="images/oranges.jpg" />
<mx:SetProperty target="{headingText}" name="text"
value="Eat Healthy" />
<mx:SetProperty target="{descText}" name="text"
value="Good nutrition and a balanced diet will help you and your
child grow up healthy." />
</mx:State>
<mx:State name="slide4" id="c">
<mx:SetProperty target="{headerImage}" name="source"
value="images/womanWithGlasses.jpg" />
<mx:SetProperty target="{headingText}" name="text"
value="Be Happy" />
<mx:SetProperty target="{descText}" name="text" value="Be
happy and try to make other people happy as well" />
</mx:State>
</mx:states>
I am not sending the complete code. I just want to set value
of properties using XML data.
headerImage is an <mx:Image ...>
headingText is an <mx:Text..>
descText is an <mx:Text...>
Any help or suggestion will be greatly appretited.
Thanks,
Regards,
Wahab
