Sorry if my message wasn't very clear. The xml is loaded with an onLoad handler. Once it loads it is assigned as a global variable and triggers a set of functions to generate tabs. Clicking each tab loads a external swf into an empty mc on the stage and assigns another global variable which would be the id no. of the tab. Each external swf has it's own code to read the xml and tab id no., and populate its contents. I hope this makes more sense...
