Congratulate me! I wrote my first Script! 

Well, Ole did, but I found it on the board and copied it and ran it and it worked, it's the image placing script and it's a good step in the right direction. 

Ben, would you be able to post or email me a sample of that script? I'm learning, but slowly and an example of all the right commands would really help I think. 

As far as importing, this is how it is set up: 
<item> 
      <name>Item Name</name> 
      <casepk>Case Pack</casepk> 
      <dimensions>dimensions</dimensions> 
</item> 

and I want it to format like this: 
ITEM NAME 
Case Pack (bullet) Dimensions 

I tag the entire frame as "item" and then placeholder text within the frame as their respective elements. When I import XML it adds a hard return before the Item Name and puts the Case Pack and Bullets right next to each other. 

Ugh, I ate too many cookies for breakfast and now i feel sick and can't sit still. 

Thanks a lot you guys, you're really helping me out here. 

Brian
