You need to pull out your Flash 101 study guide if you ask what use is
XML to Flash.
Using either a manual parsing, or something like the XML Shortcuts
class to retrieve information stored in an XML file allows you
virtually complete freedom in your dynamic design, or in your
information handling both to and from flash.
Many of the components for Flash are driven my XML. The menu and tree
component are two examples. So you are correct if you are making some
simple silly animation for a website, but if you are using Flash as a
software development tool for an application (web, pda, or OS based)
then the integration of Flash and XML is invaluable.
