Loading external swf with attatched xml into main swf

ok so here the problem:

i have a dynamically generated menu which is made up of a swf and an xml files (thankyou to kortexvfd for the help), i want to be able to load these into my main swf, now the code i have got for the button is:

on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = “assets/swf/MenuTemplate”;
container.loadMovie(“assets/swf/MenuTemplate.swf”);
} else if (_root.currMovie != “assets/swf/MenuTemplate”) {
if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = “assets/swf/MenuTemplate”;
container.play();
}
}
}

yet when is click on the button the swf loads but i get the follwing error:

Error opening URL “file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/alex%2Dwork/Desktop/Betatest/Flash/menu.xml”

when i place a copy of the xml into the above folder it crashes flash 8 so what do i need to do to correct this problem?

Make the link to your xml relative to the main swf which your external swfs load into.

how do i do that? example of code?
