Help with capturing scrollable text selection to variable.

[rick1111]

I am redesigning a football site in MX and on one page I want to display all of the players names, numbers and position in s scrollable list text field which is loaded from a text file (which is currently working) or a database. I want to have each record selectable. When a player's record is clicked, I want to capture the player's number in a variable and have flash display the selected player's picture in the center of the stage.

The part I'm missing is capturing the selected player in a variable. I can handle everything else.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
