XML Image Gallery: replacing xml to load new image set?

Hi Kirupa crew!

First, big thanks for this great site!

Second, I’m struggling a bit on xml and hoping for a hand. Your xml image gallery is a sweet piece of work, and I would like to be able to add the functionality of being able to load different galleries from a menu without loading a new mc with gallery inside it. I managed to botch the file up pretty good on my own, and was wondering if there is a ready answer nearby.

So I’m thinking have but1, but2 and but3, with a seperate xml file for each. What would you recommend for a smooth way to swap the the xml files to the gallery, and load the first image of the new xml file? Also, can it be done with one big ol’ xml file while keeping the galleries seperate? It’s not necessary, but could be handy, and save some loading.

It would also be interesting to apply the same principle to the resizing script that Scotty has in that big Resizing thread, just a thought.

Many many thanks!
John
