Ok. I have a movie that I have an embedded swf menu that is controlled by external XML data (don’t ask, it just seemed easier at the time). Can i have the external XML data control the timeline of the main timeline?

I LOVE the way my menu works, and want to keep it inside of the main movie…any thoughts?
