[color=black]I’ve been trying to load an externally XML file into flash - in a textbox. Now I was wondering if it was possible to use CSS in this XML file, and if so, how do I do this?[/color]

So I have, let’s say 4 xml files, loading in some text into my flash movie. But instead of changing the values in each xml file, when I need a new text colour, I can just change it in my CSS file, and then all the text colours have been changed.

.xml file code:

```auto
 
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="style.css"?>
<text><![CDATA[This is a test]]></text>

```

.css file code:

```auto
 
text
{
color: #00601A;
} 

```
