Is it possible to iterate through an Xml Document to generate the list of options in a Choose One dialog?

So if I had an Xml Document like

[FruitChoices]  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [Fruit type="Apple" /]  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [Fruit type="Orange"/]  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [Fruit type="Pear" /]  
[/FruitChoices]  
  
I could use some kind of XPath like /FruitChoices/Fruit/@type&nbsp; and have that populate my "Choices" in a choose one dialog?  
  
  
My goal here is that I'll pull info out of a database into a temp xml document, and then load that xml document into some variables, and a choice dialog.  
  
Thanks,  
-Jeff

Hi Jeff   
  
 Off the top of my head, here’s how I would do it.   
  
 declare some variables :   
  
 fruit\_type   
 choices   
  
 XML Node Iterator Action   
 xpath = /FruitChoices/Fruit   
 Set variable fruit\_type to value of attribue type   
  
 Append to Variable Action, append to choices variable : %fruit\_type%=%fruit\_type%   
 Add CRLF before   
  
 Then in the Choose One action - in the before action script event :   
  
 Action.Choices.Text = FBVariables.Choices
