hello everyone,  
this is driving me nuts. i dont understand whats wrong. i am simply opening a external text file which is situated in the same folder as the swf file. Hence it works locally. But when i upload the entire folder on the web, it does not open the .txt file anymore. i have tried every possible path, but it doesnt wanna work. please please please help. Here is the code. Cheers!!

on (release) {  
loadText = new loadVars();  
loadText.load(“1autumn.txt”);  
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {  
if (success) {  
// trace(success);  
\_root.flying\_pages.newsBox.html = true;  
\_root.flying\_pages.newsBox.htmlText = this.myNews;  
}  
};  
}
