If anyone has used or programmed a skin for Trillian (the IM client), I  
am trying to do something similar to that scheme.

I have an XML file, that I thought would also subsequently load other XML  
files. I’m not too familiar with the XML standard, so I don’t know if  
the sample below conforms, or Trillian parsed it specially to know to  
load other XML files:

\<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”?\>  
\<!DOCTYPE test SYSTEM “CellLayoutDefs.dtd”\>

\<CellLayout\>  
&cellDataFiles;  
\</CellLayout\>

Where &cellDataFiles would point to another XML file with entries for  
more XML files to load.

Can this scheme work in Flash (I’m working with F5), or do I have to  
load each file individually (so, basically parse a file list, and then parse  
each file from the list.)?
