Hi, new to everything about indesign but given task of trying to automate loading data from our database into indesign for our circular print.  I can export data from our database to xml and can manually import that data after setting up tags but now looking to automate.  I found some samples from indesign and will post below but having trouble understanding how to get it to load actual data from xml automatically.  It looks to create text box element but now how to add actual data?  I know manually I had to create placeholder text and tag but not sure how to do it in applescript or if I am even going about this the correct way?  

Here is the script and xml file and will attach link to picture of what it looks like in indesign.  THANKS!


--ImportXMLIntoSelectedElement.applescript
--An InDesign CS5.5 AppleScript

--Imports an XML file into the selected XML element.
