Hi,

I am trying to load external small swfs into my main swf using an xml file.

I have referred [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/xml\_dropdown\_menu.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/xml_dropdown_menu.htm) which is close to what I am doing - but it just links to .html files which opens in new browser windows.

NOW HOW DO i DYNAMICALLY LOAD SMALL SWFS INTO MY MAIN MOVIE USING AN XML FILE?

Please help…
