THIS IS PART OF THE CODE

import com.greensock.TweenLite;

// CREATING NEWS ENTRIES

// news container for easier scrolling

var newsContainer:Sprite = new Sprite;
newsContainer.y = -newsContainer.height-stage.stageHeight/2;
addChild(newsContainer);

// storing references into array for later access
var newsArray:Array = new Array( );

// XML //

var MC2:MovieClip = MovieClip(this.parent); //
var newsHeight:Number=0;

// creating instances of NewsItem movieclips that will later be determined by XML
for(var k:Number=0;k<MC2.newsNum;k++) {

var newsItem:NewsItem = new NewsItem;

// XML INPUT

newsItem.title.text = MC2.newsTitle[MC2.newsNum-1-k];
newsItem.content.htmlText = MC2.newsContent[MC2.newsNum-1-k];
newsItem.info.text = MC2.newsInfo[MC2.newsNum-1-k];
newsItem.positionRule();

trace(newsItem.content.textHeight);
// positioning NewsItems moveiclips
// will later be determined by XML data
if(k>0) {
 
  newsItem.y = newsHeight;
 
}
newsArray.push(newsItem);
// adding newsItems as children to newsContainer
newsContainer.addChild(newsItem);
newsHeight += newsItem.content.textHeight+100;
trace(k + " " + newsHeight);
}

// VERTICLE MOUSE_MOVE SCROLLING

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, scrollNews);

function scrollNews(evt:MouseEvent):void {

TweenLite.to(newsContainer, 0.3, { y:-(stage.mouseY/stage.stageHeight)*newsContainer.height+ newsHeight/2});
trace(-(stage.mouseY/stage.stageHeight)*newsContainer.height);
}

Thanks very much kglad

Hi Kglad, Thank you for your answer, sincerelly this is  a part of a Example that I saw in the web, it loads a xml with a document class and a urlLoader class too in a mainContainer, it has a navigation of 4 buttons, I tried to separated this section because it likes to me, I was trying to do many intents to change the parameters but it doesn't works. I would like if you could tell me, if there is something wrong in the line 65 says "var MC2:MovieClip = MovieClip(this.parent);" .

I send to you the complete code,

THANKS AGAIN !! in advance for your great full.

Hello kglad:

Thank you very much, i was trying to tested with this code and don't happening nothing,

now it doesn't gave me an error just appear a number 0 serveral times.

Do you believe that I can do it without this classes, load the xml in the movie clip created in

the library, and make the effects in the function "scrollNews",

I appreciate if you can gave me your advice.

Thanks again.
