Hi Scott/Everyone,
I've been away from my system for a few days but I am glad to report that the
xml is now loading into the swf file. I just reorganised anycode in the same
way as Scott has set out here and it does indeed work like a charm!
Now to move onto saving data from the swf back into an xml variable!
thanks again
