flash data integration : One XML Connector or Multiple Connectors?

I am creating a site that makes use of an external database and ASP to
generate the XML files dynamically.

My question is, should I have one XML connector for all the possible
XML files or create a new connector for each XML file that will be
generated? Thanks

I totally agree. Thanks. If you have any other suggestions I would
appreciate them. Thanks

Daniel,

Went through all of this over the holiday, and worked extensively with the
XmlConnector and other options.

Based on my experiences, and what it sounds like you're trying to do, I
strongly suggest you ditch the XMLConnector component, and either user
xfactorstudio.com's XPATH component if you're just trying to pull data, or
use this link to generate a DataSet without the XMLConnector if you need
sortable data:

Good luck.

Consider future maintenance/changes If you are building something that you
will be continuing to support or develop. If you need to modify an existing asp
page or add a new one for a new XML source. It would probably be easier if you
kept them separate. That way when testing changes, you know exactly what your
changes effect. If you clump everything together into one, you may need to test
your entire program after every change to make sure you did not break anything.
