Hello, I was wondering if its possible to load a client side xml file from a web based flash.

Basically the project is as follows. Each station will have a specific xml file describing its contents and the flash file will be displayed from a browser that will read the xml file for display.

I have tried load and fileReference with no luck. Please help!

thank in advance
