Just a note on the XML parsing speeds...
Whilst you can do XML in flash 5 and Flash MX... Even if you code in Flash 5 and just 
use the new Flash 6 player, you will get a performance increase...

you've basically got 4 methods:

1) url variables - flash 5 can read variables in from the url used tio call the flash 
movie. This also includes url-style variables defined in the <PARAM NAME=movie 
VALUE="spinbox.swf"> like this: <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="spinbox.swf?foo=1&bar=2">

2) javascript - javascript in the calling page can be used (with caution against 
browser differences) to set variables and even control movie playback.

3) XML - flash 5 can parse XML files (albeit slowly) to retrieve variables. XML 
parsing speeds in FMX much faster

4) LoadVariables from external textfile (my fav for Flash versions below MX)
- a textfile can be read in by flash and variables retrieved this way.

for information on all these methods go see http://www.flashcfm.com (which strangely 
seems to be down at the moment). methods 3 and 4 are explained in the flash 
documentation and theres more help on them in the flashkit.com tutotials available 
here:
