How do I do that?

Open it up, find out whats wrong, change it, save it.

Problem is I don't know xml that well. Could you look at it if I send it?

Don't know xml - Problem is I don't know xml that well.

You can have a look at Senocular's XML tutorial
http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml/index.htm

Or look at one of the many other sites that explain XML structures
Example: http://www.w3schools.com/xml/default.asp

etc..

you can try opening it up in a browser. I know browsers like firefox usually tell you what the problem is and where.

Even simpler yet then ;)

I dragged the swf into browser, didn't open and then the mediaGallery.html and no luck.

The XML, not the SWF

OK I did that, I dragged the "external_link.xml" into a blank browser Firefox and got this error
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

That's not an error. That means that there's no styling.

That also means that the XML is not wrong... at least in the sense that it's well-formed. So that instead menas that whatever "template" you have seems to not like the XML in some way or another. That probably depends entirely on that template and you may need to find its author to figure out that problem.

A browser might also be more forgiven than the AS3 XML class.
