Hi,

I’m not really sure where to put this… but it’s a server-side problem so here goes. I have a Flash MX 2004 program that can’t read .txt files from my server. Is it possible that it needs special permissions to do so? I’m using a free hosting plan from Godaddy (comes with the domain name plan), is there any way for my to change my permissions? I’m a Flash/PHP programmer and I know nothing about web hosting haha.

Thanks,
