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](http://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;  
smokedrink = xmlNode.childNodes[26].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;  
layout\_title = xmlNode.childNodes[34].childNodes[0].nodeValue;  
if (isPrivate == 1)

privateMC.\_visible = true;

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.
