Flash xml not working...help!

[kimberlyhello]

Hi everyone. Thanks for helping me.

Basically, I have a flash banner that I am trying to put on my website. The images and captions come from a xml file. It works when I test it locally in flash. It also works when I go to the exact address.

However, when I put it on the main page of the website...the images and captions are not coming through.



If anyone can tell me what is wrong I would really appreciate it. I have been working on this issue for a long time, and am really tired of not finding a solution.

Thanks.

It's either a relative path problem or a cross domain problem. Are you using relative or absolute paths to point to your XML file?

If relative, try making it an absolute path.
If absolute, try adding a cross domain policy file (http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14213).

I'm using absolute paths. Shouldn't this be sufficient enough? I'm not crossing domains, so do I really need a cross domain policy file?

Is there something else I could try?

I just solved this problem. All I did was move the xml file to the main website folder. That fixed it.

I was gonna say try that, if I ever get a flash linking problem, I normally just move them to the root folder, and seems to fix it!

So, it was a path problem.
