flash actionscript: :confused;

What I'm trying to do is select a vocabulary word from a list of words in
column A and communicate to the buttons I've created in column B (ex.
Definition, Synonym, Used in a Sentence) which word I've selected from the
list. So in turn when I press the appropriate button in Column B it populates
Column C with the correct information for that particular word. What's the best
way to go about doing this? XML?

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks!

Well XML could be part of the solution. Is this database driven? It
sounds like it should be. Then you have a simple query based on the
choice of the word and button. Return the result set in XML and
populate the third column.
