[Richard_N]

you asked how it was done, I told you.

You need to use the XML object in actionscript 2 (the code language for flash MX2004 Go to macromedia and search the actionscript reference library

You may have to learn how to use XML object available in Flash. Another thing to learn is the DOM (Document Object Model). This is used to dig inside the xml tree.

Hi thanks for all the posts.

can you give me a link to learn XML object in actionscript?

also, i am making the flash file on my site be able to play music and choose between 10 songs. The song info is stored in a xml file containing the url of the file, the name, the album, the artist, and the time. I want flash to get the contents out of the xml file into flash (and preload the url of the file) and show the info in the xml file.

Is this right or is there a better way to do this?

thanks,

better to buy a book IMO any book on mx2004 and actionscript should give you the basics, not aloud to post URL's here it seems to bother them for some reason.
