just add ?variable=some.xml at the end of the swf name in the embed code…

<param name="movie" src="xxx.swf?variable=some.xml" />

i think that does the job well

just call the variable in actionscript like that, _root.variable

If you are using swfobject method to embed, then adding the following lines will work: 
var myPath="myFile.xml";
so.addVariable("xmlPath", myPath);

Thanks im almost there – having one of those days.. My actionscript should therefore be ..

_root.variable = xml.load(‘some.xml’;) ?

Thx life saver
