Hi, i found this tutorial  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/externaldata.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/externaldata.htm)

it works fine, but i want the file data.txt, to be in a different domain than the swf. When i write loadText.load(“[http://www.mydomain.com/data.txt](http://www.mydomain.com/data.txt)”); the swf doesn’t work. How can i solve this problem?

Thanx
