should have something to do with the server's OS ?

Strange that this should come up, the other day my colleague was working
on a file that used relative refferences loaded in from XML, it worked
fine, the next day when he open it up it had stopped working - the fix
we found was instead of:

"mydir/myfile.xml"

Was to use

"/mydir/myfile.xml"

The odd thing was it had worked fine before and we'd not moved any of
the files around.

Our swf runs in a projector environment, but it may be worth a try?

Cheers

M

Subject: [Flashcoders] Loading Xml from Flash over Http

I have an xml file that is loaded into a swf, playing in a
browser.  My question is about the url to the xml file.  If I
specify an absolute url
("http://mydomain.com/xml/file.xml";) I have no problems but
when I try and use a relative url ("xml/file.xml") it fails
to load.  The rel path is correct.  Running the swf in any
environment other than over http works correctly with the rel
url.  I've also added a crossdomain.xml which allows any
access, and it resides with the swf.

For this particular project it is crucial that the url be
relative and not absolute.  Is this a limitation in Flash, or
am I missing something?
Are there any other options than using an absolute url?

Thanks for your help!

Brent
