Hey guys,

I wonder if someone could help me with this problem mixing actionscript 2 and XML:

I basically have a bunch of thumbnail images that I have converted to buttons - I want to click a button and for it to take me to another page and play a video.

However, I want to use XML so I could later change the video without going into Flash. I guess I’ll need to [on pressing the button], call a variable that loads a particular video onto the screen but i don’t know how to do that?

Any help would be great
