I have a file that works when I have an html on the same server and folder as the swf file. I am trying to load this swf on another html page on a different server. It loads an XML file. The link to .load the xml file has the full http:// address, and at the top of my actionscript code I have  
Code:  
[LEFT]System.security.allowDomain("\*");[/LEFT]

It just sits at the loading screen when I try to load it on the different server.

The link of the file on my server is [http://www.whyworkforever.org/myspace/1.html](http://www.whyworkforever.org/myspace/1.html)

I also have the crossdomain.xml file in the main folder of my server.

Thanks for your help. This is probably a very simple problem but it is the first time I have had to deal with the flash player security this way.
