Hi

I have a flash file witch loads an external flash file, offline everyting works

loadText = new loadVars();  
loadText.load(“data/data.txt”);  
title.html = true;  
//creating the loadVarsText function  
loadText.onLoad = function() {  
title.htmlText = this.title;  
};

but when i upload the folder with the .swf file and a folder “data” with the data.txt, it seems that the flash file can not find it anymore… anyone an idea… i tried lots of different paths and stuff, nothing seems to work
