Dynamic file path problem....

Question

Hello & thanks for your attention
I am trying to modify the action script(2) of a XML photo slideshow
I want to make it pull the photo array from a dynamic XML file
Yet nothing I try seems to be working - I was hoping someone could look at these snippets and tell me if I'm doing something incorrectly
Objective:
To make the swf file - pull its photo array - from a dynamic XML file path
Scenario:
http://www.reallivingtours.com/tours/viewTour.php?id=2092
When that URL is called by a browser
An XML file called 2092.xml is created in a /tmp/ directory
viewTour.php passes the ‘dynamic’ file path to the swf via the params
<param name="movie" value="slideshow.swf?file=tmp/<?php echo $tourID; ?>.xml">
<param name="flashvars" value="&file=tmp/<?php echo $tourID; ?>.xml">
The original AS2:
var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
_root.xmlPath == undefined ? xml.load("settings.xml") : xml.load(_root.xmlPath);
The modified AS2 - I've done:
var filePath:String = new String();
filePath =_root.file;
var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
_root.xmlPath == undefined ? xml.load(new URLRequest(filePath)) : xml.load(_root.xmlPath);
Can you see anything I'm doing incorrectly?
Thank you very much for your time and attention

Thanks to webqa - I've gotten a little closer to resolving this
my debugging tells me that i have an undefined error
I'm thinking - xml.load(filePath)
is not recognizing the string as a file path to the XML
Does anyone have any suggestions? thank you
var filePath:String = new String();
filePath =_root.file;
var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
_root.xmlPath == undefined ? xml.load(filePath) : xml.load(_root.xmlPath);
