Hello there,

I have a flash file that is pulling in images from a folder and a .txt for text content.

The code for the .txt file:

```auto

descXmlData.load("boxdescriptions.xml");

```

When I change the “boxdescriptions.xml” to “[http://www.website.com/boxdescriptions.xml](http://www.website.com/boxdescriptions.xml)”

It cannot find it? What am I missing I can’t figure out how to get this to work, and I want absolute paths. I’m sure it’s really simple, I just can’t figure this out.

Thanks,  
Lorne
