Okay, I have one SWF file that I want to reuse and I want to load external XML files with it, is it possible to do something like this in the HTML:

```auto
<EMBED src="mymovie.swf?myFile=text1.xml" ...

```

then in the actionscript, get the file with something like this:

```auto
xmlData.load(myFile);

```

then reuse the same SWF on different HTML pages, ex:

```auto
<EMBED src="mymovie.swf?file=text2.xml" ...

```

Is this possible?
