Mutliple Swfs, Multiple XMLs, Multiple Root Problems

programming flash
1

I’m new to these forums and for a good reason, i’m not as smart as you all and i want you to rub off on me :smiley:

i have a problem i hope you can help me with. I have a Swf that opens other swfs such as:

_root.this.swf
opens
>_root.folder1 hat.swf
>_root.folder2 hus.swf

but in the secondary folders each have an xml file that has to be called upon by the second swf. Instead of trying to open _root.folder2 ext.xml it tries to open >_root.text.xml is there anyway in flash mx(not '04) that i can change the _root for each secondary swf? If you need more explaination just ask… Its hard to explain confused:

thanx,
jambo

either load into levels wherein you’d have a _root for each loaded swf and to transcend to another “_root” you’d need to prefix with the _level-number to tell flash which _root you were talking to

or

use the “parent” way of addressing …
