I need help figuring out how to load a bunch of text without making a bunch of movie clips. I’ve been told that I need to use xml for the best and easiest results.

Bellow is a diagram that shows what I wish to accomplish with the flash movie. There is a list of my projects that when clicked on loads another page (in the flash movie) that has a pre-loader and when it’s done pre-loading has all the content in the movie clip plus all the dynamic content (depending on which link you clicked on in the portfolio section) loaded from the xml file.

So, how do I do this? Please help me or at least point me in the right direction.

Thank-you very much,  
Mike 😃
