    I currenty use monoslide in my main heading ( www.pixelpickle.com/games.html )
    but will also like to use it to display a screenshot gallery.

    I'm really not sure how to do this as I'm guessing whatever I call the .swf file it will always look for monoslideshow.xml and I can't direct it to anything else.

    I did almost the same, simply make a folder for each monoslideshow U use...

    Thank you for the fast reply, would you mind going into a little more detail? How did you specify which monoslideshow used what folder?

    Your xml file can be called anything you want. Assuming your screenshot gallery xml file is called screenshot.xml, just add the parameter dataFile when you call monoslidehow:

    so.addVariable("dataFile", "screenshot.xml");

    Alllllrighty, I have the screenshot.xml sorted and it's showing on the page, but I can't control which slideshow is using it, I tried renaming the slideshow and it doesn't have any effect. :'(

    would it be possible to get an example of how I should set it up in the source?

    OK, well you should have two xml files and two divs with unique ids. There's no reason to rename or copy the slideshow file as it gets all of the info and instructions from the xml. Your javascript will call the slideshow twice, once for each div and xml combo. This link shows you the basics:
