creating mobile List (iOs, android) in AS3 using external XML?

I'm working on a mobile app in adobe air as3. currently I need to create a list in the application using an external XML file which would allow users to click items in the list etc.

I fond MadComponents which would allow you to create Lists using AS3 but the issue that I have is it seems like that MadComponents only allows you to create the List using hard coded inside the AS3 and not an external XML file!

so basically in a sense, you cannot use MadComponents to create a dynamic List as everything is set within the AS3 code and no external XML file can be used!

are there any other easy options out there?

or is it possible to use MadComponents with an external XML file?

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
