Hello,

So I know how to load external images via XML, but don’t know how to make it so that it can load both movies and images. Right now I can just load images such as .jpg, .gif, and .png. I want to also be able to load movies such as .swf (.avi would be cool if possible but if not, its not a big deal).

So basically how do I change the below code so I can also load a movie if I wanted to, instead of the image.

Thank You

Here is my code:

XML code:

```auto
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GALLERY>
<IMAGE TITLE="start">start.jpg</IMAGE>
<IMAGE TITLE="header">banner.jpg</IMAGE>
</GALLERY>

```
