xmlData = new XML();  
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;  
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;  
xmlData.load([http://www.someothersite.com/rss.xml](http://www.someothersite.com/rss.xml));

in this code- is there anyway i can load the URL from an external file?  
Here: xmlData.load(myURL);can “myURL” be loaded from an external source… may be from another XML file which i can keep locally and change the URL when needed.
