Hey guys,

I would really appreciate some help here, I am new to AS and I don’t have much experience in it.

I would like to play external .swf files which will be located in a specific directory somewhere and I will be getting the filenames through a sharepoint XML file. The .swf files have no interaction at all they are just videos playing but I need them to play one after another and in a constant loop until the XML file changes.
