I’ve had an idea - probably not original and want to know if a) this is possible and b) is it logical and good practice.

I have a swf with UI components (Tile list and combo box) populated from an XML file. When I want to change the data I go to a new frame with identical components and load a new XML file. My question is, can I use a button to load a new XML file into the existing frame. If so how would the code look?
