How Can I Create an XML to Create a Menu?

Why is my xml navigation not loading into my Flash movie?

Hyperspecific Html & Flash question especially for XML and Flash Video superstars. Why is my xml navigation not loading into my Flash movie? First things first. Everything I'm referring to is a local based video player. I'm working on a video player and it's composed of the following elements: A folder named "dvd_assets": Inside this folder are four things: an html file, a swf file embedded into that html file, an .xml file and a folder named "video_assets". Inside the video assets folder are a number of flv files. The navigation of this swf player is being generated by a Menu Component. Everything works fine in the above-mentioned structure. Now, I create a new folder and take the entire folder above and drop it in. I move the .html file up to this folder and fix the link to the embedded swf. The problem is now that the menu doesn't appear. From what I've gathered it may have to do with the fact that I have an xml file and that creates security issues with the swf. But it's all local, so I don't understand what's going on. Having typed this, I wonder if this makes any sense to anyone . . .
Answer:

Don't have an answer for you, but maybe this will clarify. Did I get it right? [folder] root --------- html --------- [folder] dvd_assets ------------------- html ------------------- swf (embedded in html) ------------------- xml ------------------- [folder] video_assets ---------------------------- video01.flv ---------------------------- video02.flv ---------------------------- etc.

If this is the common hiccup I think it is, the paths in the XML to the *.flvs need to be relative to the HTML file, not the SWF/XML file.
