Going crazy over these problems 🅰! I’m using LoadVars to load variable data into flash from a .txt file.

Pretty simple - when uploaded onto a server, I can see the data loaded but no one else can, not even other accounts on my computer!

Could this be a CHMOD permission problem? Could this a problem with my AS? A problem with directories? A problem with URLs?

Anybody have a good method that simply loads vars from a .txt file and can also do it online???

Is it a cache issue?

Apparantly, loading using the URL “[http://www.mysite.com/folder/flash.swf](http://www.mysite.com/folder/flash.swf)” doesn’t work, but changing the load URL to “/folder/flash.swf” fixed the problem.
