Hi, I am facing this strange issue of not able to load the XML file from a server.

I have multiple XML files to be loaded. For few of the files the code is not able to load the xml file. I am using [COLOR=Blue]URLLoader/URLRequest[/COLOR] to load the xml files. The difference between the successfully loaded file and the unsuccessful file is that the later does not contain any text as [COLOR=Blue]\<?xml version=‘1.0’ encoding=‘UTF-8’?\>[/COLOR] on the top.

Also, if i create an html of my fla, and load it into firefox (FP 10), then all the xml files load fine. So i m not sure whether the problem is due to absence of ‘xml version’ text on top or there is some issue with FP 9 / firefox / IE ? I am also using [COLOR=Blue]Security.allowDomain("\*")[/COLOR] code in my program.

here are the findings:

[COLOR=Blue]FF - FP 10 - works  
FF - FP 09 - doesn’t work  
IE - FP 09 - doesn’t work  
IE - FP 09 - doesn’t work[/COLOR]

any clue?
