I ran in to this same problem. The issue is that since everything in https is supposed to expire immediately (meaning not be cached because it is secure), IE actually expires the XML that's returned after it gets to the page object but before making it available to any content on the page, such as your swf.
If you have access to the IIS server, you need to remove the Pragma:no-cache and/or Cache-control:no-cache HTTP headers.

The ASP page receives the XML, parses it, pulls out a few pieces of data, runs a query against a database, and returns a longer XML document. Everything works perfectly when I run the app over http. However, when I run the app over https, it doesn't work (I can't tell if it can't call the ASP page, or the ASP page doesn't respond, but it does fail immediately). A few notes: - the SWF and ASP page are in the same subdirectory, so it's not a cross-domain issue - the SWF doesn't include any absolute references, so I haven't hardcoded "http" anywhere in the actionscript - strangely - the entire process works perfectly in Firefox. It only fails in IE - the entire process also works perfectly if I run the app in the Flash IDE, and call the ASP page over https - if I comment out ALL of the logic/code in the ASP page, so that it just uses "Response.write" to send back a simple XML document, it still fails. So, it's not a problem with the ASP - it's a problem with the SWF/ASP communication. Does anyone have any thoughts, suggestions, advice on why this is the case, or how to fix it?
