Flash 8, Actionscript 2.0

I wasn’t exactly sure where to post this, but I figured here would be alright.

I’ve got this image slideshow/scroller here, that grabs its data from a xml file on the server. nothing new, but the problem is that when i enable hotlinking protection with bluehost, firefox is unable to deal with the file. safari, opera, handle it fine.

when hotlinking protection is disabled, firefox handles it fine.
