I’m loading XML cross domain and it works but it’s really slow, or sometimes it never load…

```auto
system.usecodepage=false;
c = new XML();
t = new LoadVars();
c.ignoreWhite = true;
t.load("/pages/fl_php/countfeed.php");
c.load("/pages/fl_php/proxy.php");
c.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {
        showValues();
    }
};
stop();

```

**t.load("/pages/fl\_php/countfeed.php");** is my way counting the headlines and its an easy way(insecure) to knowing how many headlines I can show.

I’m using Macromedias tip to load XML crossdomain

```php
<?php
$dataURL = "http://www.newsmachine.com/external/xml_feed.xml";
readfile($dataURL);
?>

```

I’m I doing something wrong and how can i make sure that the XML is loaded everytime?! Sometimes I have to click the link in flash to reload the page that shows the XML to get the XML to load…

Help!
