Okay, so I have this code:

if (get\_slot() == “Save Slot 1”) {  
function loadXML(loaded) {  
if (loaded) {  
link = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;  
link.text = link;  
} else {  
content = “file not loaded!”;  
}  
}  
xmlData = new XML();  
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;  
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;  
xmlData.load("/XML/links.xml");  
}

get\_slot() is a function that returns the label of the currently selected item in my list box. Anyway, when I try this code, it says “Error opening URL ‘file:///XML/links.xml’” instead of assuming that XML is a folder containing links.xml that is in the same file as the .swf. It’s worked fine in the past, but now it’s not working at all.
