Hello again!

Got a little problem with an MP3 player. I’m trying to load a playlist that is in XML format. The player resides within its own movie clip. When I test the movie no errors occour, however when I open the mp3 player i get this error message:

> Error opening URL “file:///D|/My%20Web/pure%20flash/mp3player.xml”

The XML file is there, and is written correctly. Is there anything I need to do to get it to work; i’ve tried importing the XML file but it won’ accept it…

The code for the player to load the XML is:

> \_root.playlist == undefined ? playlist = “mp3player.xml” : player=\_root.playlist;

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,  
Brent
