So I have a client who wants a custom flash layout for myspace. That part is easy enough but my limited knowledge of AS & XML is what I need help on. I’ve looked at this site www.lovemyflash.com, and how they seem to be able to call to the XML within the user’s profile on my space. From what I can see this is gathered first from the pre-loader that then loads the layout. The AS on the pre-loader is:
function loadXML(loaded)
{
if (loaded)
{
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
id = xmlNode.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
fullname = unescape(xmlNode.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
address = xmlNode.childNodes[2].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
profilephoto = xmlNode.childNodes[3].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
headline = unescape(xmlNode.childNodes[4].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
lastlogin = xmlNode.childNodes[5].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
gender = xmlNode.childNodes[6].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
age = xmlNode.childNodes[7].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
town = unescape(xmlNode.childNodes[8].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
country = unescape(xmlNode.childNodes[9].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
interests = unescape(xmlNode.childNodes[10].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
music = unescape(xmlNode.childNodes[11].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
films = unescape(xmlNode.childNodes[12].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
television = unescape(xmlNode.childNodes[13].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
books = unescape(xmlNode.childNodes[14].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
heroes = unescape(xmlNode.childNodes[15].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
aboutme = unescape(xmlNode.childNodes[16].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
whotomeet = unescape(xmlNode.childNodes[17].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
mystatus = xmlNode.childNodes[18].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
herefor = xmlNode.childNodes[19].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
myorientation = xmlNode.childNodes[20].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
hometown = unescape(xmlNode.childNodes[21].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
bodytype = xmlNode.childNodes[22].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
ethnicity = xmlNode.childNodes[23].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
religion = xmlNode.childNodes[24].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
zodiacsign = xmlNode.childNodes[25].childNodes[0].nodeValue;

children = xmlNode.childNodes[27].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
education = xmlNode.childNodes[28].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
occupation = unescape(xmlNode.childNodes[29].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
income = xmlNode.childNodes[30].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
layout = xmlNode.childNodes[31].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
isPhotobucket = xmlNode.childNodes[32].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
isPrivate = xmlNode.childNodes[33].childNodes[0].nodeValue;

Is there a way to modify this so can build and host my own layout on my FTP? But preforms the same functionality?
Thanks for any and all help.
