Internal XML in variable

[James Flood]

I have a Flash application which an absent colleague has written, which has a movie clip on stage.

The movieclip loads external variables from an external XML file. I need to put the flash piece inside of a Powerpoint presentation. I've search for a long time to see if you can feed external variables into a Flash movie that is itself inside of a Powerpoint presentation, specifically whether it can load XML, and have come up with a blank.

As such, to make it work, I've had to write the XML directly into the actionscript, which is not ideal, but a work around.

The movie has a movieclip inside it, with this code on in in the first frame...

movieclip1.load("xmlData.xml"); 

Then the code within that movieclip loads all the necessary variables from the external XML file. However, now due to the limitation of putting Flash movies in Powerpoint and having to write the XML into Actionscript I have the following code...

var xmlData = <tag1>variable1</tag1> etc... 

How do I change this line of code...

movieclip1.load("xmlData.xml") 

;

so that the variables from xmlData still get feed into the movieclip on stage?

Typically you would have something like this...

movieclip1.load("xmlData.xml");

var movieclip1 = new XML();
movieclip1.ignoreWhite = true;
movieclip1.load("xmlData.xml");
movieclip1.onLoad = function() {
	// code for parsing xml here
};

Replace it with...

var xmlData = <tag1>variable1</tag1> etc...
// code for parsing xml here
