undefined error

Thanks to webqaflash - I've gotten a little closer to resolving this

But my debugging tells me that i still have an undefined error

I'm thinking - xml.load(filePath)

is not recognizing the string as a file path to the XML

Does anyone have any suggestions? thank you

var filePath:String = new String();
filePath =_root.file;

var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
_root.xmlPath == undefined ? xml.load(filePath) : xml.load(_root.xmlPath);

Thank you for responding

_root.file is the variable attached to the end of the embed tag for the swf.

Main.swf?

file=2030.xml

In our flash movie to get to the variable "file"

filePath = _root.file;

FilePath will equal = 2030.xml. This is how we call embeded url variables (I'm not exactly sure what they're real name is)

The scenario is
http://www.reallivingtours.com/tours/viewTour.php?id=2092
when this URL is called by the browser
an xml file is created

I'm trying to pass the dynamic file name to the swf

Via the param

use the trace() function to confirm that variable is what you expect.
