Ok, lets see if i can explain this right. I have been trying to make a movie that loads different information from an external file each day. I name the external files according the the date that i want it to be imported (example: 200667, for today)

Ive been able to make the .getYear(), .getMonth(), .getDate() work to make the date in the above format.  
xmlData.load(" ");\<-- now when i write in the url to load the external file is there a way that i can write it so that it will update itself to the correct date so that i dont have to update it manually myself?

I hope i explained it ok, Thanks for any help if possible.
