[color=#ffffff] **XML Connector** [/color]  
I have a swf file with an xmlconnetor that uses an external xml file.

[http://www.brigidcollins.org/staff/staff\_directory.htm[url=“http://www.brigidcollins.org/staff/staffdirectory.htm”][color=#800080][/color]](http://www.brigidcollins.org/staff/staff_directory.htm)

I use the combo [color=black][font=Arial][font=Times New Roman][size=3]component [/size][/font][/font][/color]to get the selected node (name) and child node information to populate textarea.

It works fine!

But now, I want to be able to load it as a external swf into a main movie using levels. When I do this the xml connetor is not triggered and nothing happens.

How can trigger the xmlconnector and load the xml into the text areas when it is part of a external swf that is load into a level of a mian movie?
