I’m tryin to pull together a website to display my photographic work. While creating the gallery, I came across a problem which I haven’t been able to find any dynamic solution for:  
[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=Black] **- How can I use a single swf to load any number of different galleries from the same xml?** [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]

When working with html/php/mysql I always make a file (art.php) and use it to load different data into with “id”.

Example: [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=Red]_[COLOR=Black]index.php?page=art&id=61839012[/COLOR]_  
[COLOR=Black]This displays index.php, containing art.php, containing the data in the database filed under id [/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=Black]61839012.

**Is there a similar way of using flash/xml?**

Any help will be much apreciated :rambo:

ps: My xml will be sorted like this:
