Simple? FlashVars question

1

Okay, I know I’m missing something that’s probably very simple.

I’m trying to load an XML file that has it’s location stated in a FlashVar in the HTML.

So here’s wehre I’m loading the XML into my movie:

_global.xmlFinishedLoading = false;

my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
my_xml.onLoad = function(sucess) {
	   if (sucess) {
			trace ("XML loaded");
			_global.xmlStuff = new XML(this);
			//gotoAndPlay(2);
        } else {
			_root.debug.text = "couldn't load XML file";
		}
};


//_global.baseURL = "";
//my_xml.load(_global.baseURL + "slideshow.xml");

//loading xml from html variable

_global.baseURL = "";

my_xml.load(_global.baseURL + xmlFileName);

I have the way I was originally calling the file from Flash commented out above, that worked perfect. Below is my attempt to call it using FlashVars in the HTML.

Her’s the HTML I’m using:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>RisngStar</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#e0ce8e">
<center>
		<div id="flash">
			<!--url's used in the movie-->
			<!--text used in the movie-->
			<!-- saved from url=(0013)about:internet -->
