Downloaded this component:

I want to customize the menu with my own wording and links, etc. Having no experience in XML and starting with the file as is, what do I do? Where do I need to put stuff (xml files,etc.)? How do I make this a fully functioning menu on my site?
thanks.

I am not going to download it, but the beauty of XML is its ease to edit, just open up the XML file and there should be things like this:
name=link_title link=blah
("name" could be anything, like title, section, sub, etc same goes for link etc, it is a description)
just edit those, look at the structure, and follow the pattern. Should not be to hard.

Thanks.
What do I need to upload to my server. The .xml file, flash, etc?
Does it need to go in any particular folder up there?
me don't know codey very well. :-)

you will need to upload both the swf and the xml file.

Epictive is exactly right. XML is really intuitive and you can edit it in Dreamweaver if need be.

thanks all. one more quick question. I went into the xml doc and changed the menu names to my liking. But how do you add or change links? Is that done in xml doc or in Flash?
thanks.

you had [or subtract] the menu items in the XML file.
and remember, if u use characters like á, ô, ç, é [like we portuguese freaks] make sure you change your xml file encoding to utf-8...

thx unfit. so here is a line of the xml code:
do I put the actual link in at the very last bracket pairing? Or somewhere else?
