Hi,

I’m new here and I’m new to AS(3).  
I’m trying to make a multi-language website with XML. Here is my code:  
ActionScript Code:

```auto
    
[LEFT]package [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=#000000] **var** [/COLOR] xmlData:[COLOR=#0000ff]XML[/COLOR];
    [COLOR=#000000] **var** [/COLOR] xmlLoader:URLLoader = [COLOR=#000000] **new** [/COLOR] URLLoader[COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];

    xmlLoader.[COLOR=#0000ff]load[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] **new** [/COLOR] URLRequest[COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]"nederlands.xml"[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];

        page1.[COLOR=#000080]txt_home_titel[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000ff]text[/COLOR] = xmlData.[COLOR=#0000ff]home[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]titel[/COLOR];
        page1.[COLOR=#000080]txt_home_tekst[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000ff]text[/COLOR] = xmlData.[COLOR=#0000ff]home[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]tekst[/COLOR];

    [COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]

```

It works, as long as I put it on the timeline. The only problem then is that I can’t change the language when I’m on frame 2.  
Someone advised me to put it in an extern AS file, but when I do that I get the following error:  
_5006: An ActionScript file can not have more than one externally visible definition: xmlData, xmlLoader_

I don’t really know what that means, I hope somebody can help me out. 🙂

Also I’d like to know if this is the best way to make a multi-language website in Flash?
