Hello all,

I have alittle problem. I have a gallery that loads in an XML file to view pictures. When i go preview publish from the file menu in Flash the thing works Perfectly. However, when i run it as an .swf outside of flash, none of the pictures load and the dynamic text stays to it’s original value. I assume that this is because it can not read in the XML. The XML is in the same gallery as the .swf and the pictures are in a folder in same the folder which the .swf is in.

Why is it happening? And are there any ideas on how to fix it?

EDIT: I have just tired to reference the full path in the XML file but it still did not work (before i was just going \photo\whatever.jpg)
