I’ve got a bunch of xml files that are linked to a Flash file. The code works perfectly when I link to them from an ftp server. The code also works perfectly (with web server URLs of course) if I link to them on our web server from my desktop doing a Test Movie. However when I publish the Flash file on our web site using the web server URLs for the XML files, it doesn’t work at all.
