    Hi,

    I would appreciate any help someone can give me.

    I have an html template set up with a piece of flash content I want to populate using xml.

    I have created the xml template but I have no idea how to associate it with my html template.  I would like the custom fields on the html template to manage the content on the xml template.

    Here is the xml I am using, so for example for <description> i have the {destination_summary} tag in place, now how do i link that up with the custom field on the normal template?

    <?xml version=“1.0”?>

    <destination>
      <location>
          French Bakery</place>
          <capt>Best croissants in North County, an Escondido breakfast hot spot.</capt>
          <address>126 West Grand Ave.</address>
          760.746.5555</phone>
          <description>{destination_summary}</description>
      </location>
    </destination>


    Thanks for your help!

    Not sure if I understand you correctly, but do you have your xml surrounded by a weblog:entries-tag that calls the respective entry?

    No I don’t.  How is that tag used?
