Can someone point me to a good tutorial that would  
help me build a dynamic portfolio using AS2? I guess  
I am confused about if there is different code to use  
for loading pictures and other file types like flvs and  
swfs. I know that I use a path to the file I want to  
show in the XML. So do all I have to do is use a path  
to a flv or swf and it will work the same?

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer  
queries.
