Hi Kirupians,

I’m having a somewhat frustrating problem that I was hoping someone on here might be able to help me out with.

I have a swf file that loads some menu titles and associative links from a simple XML document. It works fine as an swf file in my browser, but when I embed it into a webpage in dreamweaver, it won’t load the data into the exact same swf file, although the rest of the video continues to work fine.

What step am I missing? Why won’t it load the xml data into my flash video now that it has been embedded into an html document?

Thank you,  
Stressed.
