actually you dont realy need a repeater to do that. you can instantiate a label control everytime your timer dispatches an event instead: create new label control instances, set their text to the current xml items being read. however, you will have to handle the placement (x,y) to avoid having them on top of each other. BUt if you really need a repeater implementation, I will have to warn you that the code im posting below 'redraws' everything each time two(or more) items are displayed at a time. So if you have like 1000 entries, it will draw 2 (or whatever number of elements you need to display at a time) first, then will erase everything before redrawing the first 4 elements.. etc. You can however set new repeater instances each time the timer 'ticks' and pass in the current set of xml elemnts as dataprovider.that will require you to instatiate unique repeaters everytime the timer 'ticks'. Hence As I have said, you dont really need a repeater component for that, you can directly instantiate label/text components then pass in the xml elemnts you need for their text. Below is the code you need. This implementation automatically adjusts the total time depending on your xml provider's length and the number of elements you set to display Cheers!
