I’m having the hardest time with this.

I want to test this site locally. When I publish my Flash file, it loads up the XML file just fine. When I run it in a browser, however, it doesn’t load up the XML file. I’ve found many answers to this, sandbox, crossdomain.xml, nothing seems to be working for me. This is extremely frustrating. I just want to test it locally!

The swf is being embedded into my HTML page using SWFobject.

Any ideas at all??

Thanks guys.
