Hi,
I've got a job for a client that includes creating a flash movie that will
contain a number of thumbnails that represents links to avi movies, powerpoint
presentation etc. The thumbnails need to be updated and added to on a regular
basis. Is it best to call the thumbnails from an xml doc so the client can
update easily?
In the flash movie the thumbnails will be presented as a horizontal slideshow
that needs to scroll horizintally on mouseover, and the thumbnails will also
display a caption on mouseover. Is this all possible if the images are coming
from an external source such as an XML doc.
Thank you in advance for any help! I'm stuck!

Yes or provide a UI interface that would update the XML doc if the client is
likely to create malformed XML.
"Is this all possible if the images are coming from an external source such as

The images will be .jpg, .gif, .png or embedded in .swf. The XML document
would have the names of the files and their folders.
