The .swf is still very very basic as of now, but im making a little file that keeps you up to date with NYC weather. The problem is it has to read off an external XML file at:

I tried using the tutorial on kirupa.com with using a .php file to act as a “middleman” for this. First I tried the tutorial at Adobe’s website but that had no effect, and neither did the tutorial on Kirupa… Mind you I’ve tried this locally and it worked fine, when i upload it to the web it never loads the xml file.
I attached the .fla and .php file to this post, you can see the .swf at work (rather, not working) at:
