I have a swf that reads a XML file.

Here’s the thing. If I have the fla open and I hit cntrl+enter to run it, everything works fine. But if I just open the swf, it doesn’t read the xml. The swf is in the same directory as the xml file.

I have tried everything. I even slammed my head on the wall on 3 different occasions. Still nothing. Any suggestions?
