I am loading some simple text data from a file on a company network. The data loads OK when on my machine, but when I send the swf to my boss to test nothing appears.

I thought this might be a security issue but we both have the same access to the network so their should be no difference, right?

The code is:

onlinefile = “[[http://fullpath](http://fullpath) \_to\_file]([http://fullpath](http://fullpath) \_to\_file)”;

loadText = new LoadVars();  
loadText.load(onlinefile);

loadText.onLoad = function() {  
textbox.info.text = this.data;  
}

Any advice would be great, thanks.

PS I removed the path for posting but it is their in full in the actual swf.
