Hi, I’ve searched alot for this but can’t seem to find a quick simple answer to my problem. Everytime I search all I seem to find is stuff that is way to complex for what I am looking for!

All I am trying to do is load a jpg into a movieclip in flash using an external xml file.

This is what I am using as my .xml file

```auto

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<images>
    <photo>
        <image>myimage.jpg</image>
    </photo>
</images>

```

Is there a simple way to load “myimage.jpg” into a blank movieclip with the instance name “mymovieclip”? I have a feeling it is fairly simple I just can’t seem to find a tutorial or thread discusing it in this simple of a manner.

Thanks so much to anyone who is willing to shoot me some quick help!
