Wendy,
I think the trick is generating the xml dynamically on the server. There's
not a good way for flash to know whether a file exists until it tries to
load the file. Unless you want to update and upload the xml every time you
update a video, then you'll want a server-side script to create a list of
the flvs in the folder. And really, the list doesn't have to be xml. If you
know whether your server is running asp or php or cgis or whatever, then you
should be able to search the web for a script that will list all of the
files in a folder.
Once you have that, then you'll just show a button in flash for each entry
in the list.

Hello list!
Does anyone know the code to make -selectable dynamic video buttons-
appear
-only- if/when there is an .flv available to be called from in the xml
code???
I¹m dealing with 3 to 5 videos that need to be removed and then replaced
daily after rendering in final cut, exported to .flv¹s then put on web.
The prior needs to be taken down, and the new put up when ready.
I don¹t want the button for whichever video to appear unless the video is
there.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank You!
Wendy
