Thinking about this a bit more, this may or may not work depending on how flash "reads" the XML. If Flash is simply opening the text file server-side (as it appears it is) then this wouldn't work because CF won't have parsed the file. If it is using an HTTP get then it would indeed work. Has anyone dealt with Flashrelief's ThumbGallery? That's the product, it has an attribute of "XMLPath" that points directly to the file. I don't know how the SWF file makes the call from there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Download the latest ColdFusion 8 utilities including Report Builder, plug-ins for Eclipse and Dreamweaver updates. http;//www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs%5adobecf8%5Fbeta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:287862 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
