If you want the xml compiled in to the swf, use <mx:XML id="xmlLinks" source="assets/links.xml" />
If you want the xml read at runtime, use HTTPService. The url can be relative url=" assets/links.xml " HTTPService is asynchronous. You will want to use a result handler function.

How do I load that file from actionscript? I have seen numerous ways to load XML but not directly from a project. Doesn't seem like URLRequest ot httpservice is applicable and it isn't a mxml widget with attached xml config file so I am confused at what to do. to load the file. In the web application depending on what the user clicks I want to load the file, parse it and populate a URL to navigate to. Thanks! Amy
