Here is the scenario:  
I have a swf (members.swf) that loads a list of members using an xml. In the information text for each member I would like to put a hyperlink that would load another swf (image\_gallery.swf) that also uses an xml file. Ideally, I would like to create an xml for each member (member1.xml, member2.xml, member3.xml etc…) holding their image gallery information BUT I would like to use the same swf (image\_gallery.swf) to load each member’s image gallery according to their xml file data.

I hope I have explained this clearly. If you have any questions, just let me know.

So basically I would like link to a swf file and specify the xml to be loaded for that swf in the hyperlink.

Can someone suggest how to achieve this in AS3 please?

Thanks in advance,
