After struggling for days, it seems I finally got the variable referencing between classes and custom event problems sorted out. Now I got a question regarding the Error #2044 and Error #2035. The error reads like this:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
I’ve put all the swf in the same directory, so I don’t think that is the problem. Could it be that my XML file is in another directory that’s causing the problem? I also heard having quotes in the URL in the XML file could also be problematic. Is that true?
Here are my AS and my XML file. Thank you for your help!
