is it possible to store and array generated in flash in a XML file?  
I am wanting to try make something where I have a group of object to choose from but I only want to choose say 3 of 10. I would like to be able to check the ones I want and then those be added to an array or an XML file which I can later pick up and use in another external swf.

Because I am wanting to use an external swf I thought that adding it to say an xml file would be the option. But I don’t really know how to get the ball rolling on this.

I searched google but I only get how to make an array of options not how a user can create an array of items they want to see and then preview them later on.

Can someone please offer some advice as to how I could do this?
