Hi! I have been reworking this xml menu to be a great image manager, that is easy to update and add new images to. Have two problems though, and that´s adding an extra variable called “text” to the xml file and then showing it in a dynamic textfield.  
I only got it to show the name of the file ( the file-destination variable)

The other problem is that it doesn´t seem to be able to load the images when I load the swf file into the flashsite I intend to have it on.

Here´s an example of when its working…

And here is the same one but loaded in as an external swf, not working…

As you can see it won’t load the images…

Anybody have a clue ?

You can download the source files beneth, would really need some help on this one… it´s not that complicated… the toturial on how the xml loading part is:

Think this photogallery can turn out real good when its done, very easy to update, even for the least experienced client… I think many people might benefit from making something like this for a client who want a easy way to publish photos and such…🙂 or maybe there is a better solution that I havent seen… if that is the case, please inform me 😉
