    Using XML to create an SWF playlist?

    Apologies if this has already been asked, but I've done a cursory forum search, and since I'm relatively new to XML, I've not found anything that addresses what I need to do, which is:

    There will be a "pool" of SWF files- I would like to create a "shell" swf that will load an external XML file that will determine which of the files in the "pool" the shell will play. I guess this would be called an XML-driven SWF playlist.

    Forgive me if my terminology is rather primitive- again, I'm new to XML (I'm an animator by trade.)

    Any help/links would be greatly appreciated!

    I posted this in the XML section, but got an answer that far outstripped my limited skillset, so I'm posting here...

    There was another post that sort of addressed this problem, but below is a link that you can base what you're looking for. Instead of loading images, you will load SWF files.

    Some people are like Slinkies, not really good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.
