I have been tasked with creating some computer based training in Flash using XML. My experience with XML is almost non-existent.

The project will have multiple highly interactive pages, a menu, buttons on a navigation bar (some of which call popup windows, etc).
I would like the navigation and text to be controlled using a single xml file so it is easy to manipulate as the client's content changes

Could someone point me in the direction of some tutorials related to this?
Thanks

Here's a good one from kirupa that helped me a lot awhile back:
