You are supposed to use the XMLListCollection class which broadcasts events. There isn't a way to bind or listen directly to an XML or XMLList object without using XMLWatcher, XMLNotifier or IXMLNotifiable which are all not documented.

I need an image scroller. It's a standard concept. You have a set of images in a horizontal list and the list is animated to scroll from right to left. It never stops scrolling because the images are looped (it's like the text scrollers people used to make in Java when applets first showed up).
I don't think you need to escape anything. The webservice should encode and decode the string correctly for you. I'd try it first without editing the data before you spend the effort doing it manually.- Dan

My first guess would be that oldPoint isn't correct. If you're getting the local value from the event.localX make sure that event.localX and event.target is what you expect it to be. If that doesn't work, you can also use
event.StageX and simply do:desiredpoint = vboxid.globalToLocal(new

My guess is that each control acts a little differently, but if it's not listed as a style or property in the docs for the control you want, then you can usually extend the class and set the background color of the UITextField that's actually rendering the text.
