Sorry about my english… I’ll try 😉

Well, I wanted to make a portfolio for my agency using Flash and some dynamic resource to load the content. The basic structure:

- works.swf: loaded on the website; contains the categorie’s menu and a blank space to load… (see below)

- id.swf, press.swf and internet.swf: movies that contains the images and some text about each work.

So, I’m a **rusted** Flash user and a little lost with some details.

I know that it’s possible to load images and text from external sources. I saw the Portfolio tutorial (very interesting!) and my question is: it’s possible to use only one external file (.xml?) with all the text and load the specific content that I want?

I don’t want a complete solution for this (welll… lol) but some tips using the tutorials of the website are welcome (something like "dude, see ‘this one’, go to ‘other’,…) 😉

Thanks for the help!!

Sincerelly,  
Eduardo
