Hi <mx:XML> tag always embeds the xml at compile time, hence there is also a limitation to the size of the xml that you can load on to the swf. In order to read an xml data at run time you could use <mx:HTTPService id="serv" url="my_xml" resultFormat="xml" result="foo()"/>
You could write ur logic in function foo() and use the loaded xml data. Hope this helps, Harish. Flex-QA Adobe India. --- "Jan L.

The xml file even got copied to the bin directory, but the swf still uses it's 'internal' version... Regards, Jan L.
