Hey there,

I’ve been pulling my hair out & hope I’m just missing something simple. Being rather new at actionscripting I bought a gallery that is loaded by an xml file. Great! Now I need click on a link w/ http:www.url.com?id=## and have the id=## go to my swf doc and pass that info to the xml doc so that the correct image load. Has someone done this? Im in a real bind here - any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Bellow is some of the code… this is copywrighted material so I dont think I can put it all up there

imageXML.ignoreWhite = true;  
if(\_root.xmlFile==undefined){  
\_root.xmlFile=(“info.cfm”)  
[COLOR=dimgray] //\_root.xmlFile=(“info.cfm?=”+url.id) is one thing I tried but it didnt work[/COLOR]

};
