For any dynamic Flash project, XML will be a powerful tool (…) I will be talking about how to use Flash and XML to make a simple, yet superfly, gallery.

OK, now that we’ve looked at the XML we need to make it work with ActionScript 3. In Adobe Flash CS3 I created a new AS3 FLA doc and a new AS doc. In the FLA I simply created some very basic MovieClips for my left and right arrows and I placed a TextField at the bottom of my stage (which I set to 600 X 700 with a black background). After naming my instances and setting up the Document Class linkage I was done with the FLA side of thing and the rest is ActionScript.
