Flash works only when theres no www

programming flash
1

Hi.
I’m working with the flash that downloads images which are specified in xml-file. And shows them on the defined place on the stage. Defined place has also a link on it and rotation effect. This works just fine in firefox.

But in ie(7), when I go direct to http://www.site.com (exsample) flash wont load images or the link wont work. But still the animation keeps rolling and rotating. And when opening http://site.com flash works just fine, also in IE. So the www makes the flash crash somehow in IE. What am I possible doing wrong? All the links are relative, loading the xml, image paths in xml file and the link in flash. Is it still possible that problem has something to with the paths?

loading xml file:

myShowXML.load("pictures.xml");

in the xml file:

<image url="images/home/1.gif"/>
...
<image url="images/private/2.gif"/>

and the link:

on(release){
    getURL("index.php?id=4&Itemid=5");
    }

Show works just fine in firefox with or without www. In IE only without www, with www pictures wont load or the link wont work, but animation keeps rotating.
Animation is also made with as into same frame with other code. Link is in button symbol.
I would really appreciate if the flash would work with and without www in the address bar.

Perhaps its a crossdomain.xml issue?

Sounds to me like a DNS issue with your url - not completely sure, but I’d check with your registrar/web host to see it that is the issue. I’ve had this issue in the past, basically, when flash was viewed without www, the server assumed it was hosted on a different server, thus requiring a crossdomain.xml file in order for flash to retrieve the data.
