Getting a .swf to read xml

[Casper Buisman]

Hi,

I have a slideshow.swf (I cannot change it contents, there is no .fla) which
gets input from slideshow.xml and finds pictures to display in a folder called
'images' . Pretty basic for a flash picture gallery.

The problem: I want to load the slideshow.swf into a loader component in
another flash movie, say holiday.fla. (So i have the loader component in
holiday.fla and I tell it to load the movie slideshow.swf). How can i tell the
slideshow.swf file where to find its data e.g. slideshow.xml? or How can i
have slideshow.swf read from slideshow.xml?

thanks,
Casper

you use an XML object.. its very similiar to creating/loading a Loadvars
Object..

However parsing (grabbing the individual data) from the XML file is different.

but if you are comfortable with Arrays and how to access them, XML will be
easy to pick up.
