Hi everyone.  
Im having a problem with my xml file.  
basically i have an image carousel (separate swf with images loaded through xml) which is externally loaded into a movie clip in my main swf. When I click one of the images it opens a new html page with my desired file - lets call this file new.swf

So this is what i need to happen.  
When one of the images is clicked i need new.swf to load in the carousel.swf’s place. I can get other swfs loading in the movie clip through action script in the fla file but how do i do it in carousels xml file.

here is the xml i’m using at the moment:

\<image  
title=“Image 6”  
infoText=“3”  
imageUrl=“images/3.png”  
linkUrl=“new.swf”  
linkTarget="\_parent"  
/\>

I have tried different targets but i get the same result.

Any help is appreciated  
Thanks in advance.
