Flash and CFML

[idesdema]

I just posted this same question but was in the wrong section of the forums. I
am very new to flash but can definitely see the potential of this software with
my first tute completed. I learned how to show a slideshow in flash using an
xml file. However, I want to see if its possible to have the flash file call a
different xml file based on a variable. I'm sure I can do this but want to
know how. Currently I have this in my flash file...

slides_xml = new XML();
slides_xml.onLoad = startSlideShow;
slides_xml.load("slides.xml");
slides_xml.ignoreWhite = true;


I want to do something along the lines of this...

slides_xml = new XML();
slides_xml.onLoad = startSlideShow;

If #user_id# is not null
slides_xml.load("#user_id#_slides.xml");

else
slides_xml.load("slides.xml");


slides_xml.ignoreWhite = true;


Can I do this?

Hello. I am very new to Flash and took the tutorial from the adobe site on
"Creating an XML slideshow with Flash." It was awesome and I'm addicted.
However, the tutorial only lets me pull in slides from a static xml file. Is
there anyway I can put a variable in the call to the xml file so based on who
the user is, a different xml file will be called?

My hosting company does not support server side action script. Does that
matter?
