    Default Sniff out an XML file?

    Hi all,

    Does anyone know of a way to find out what XML files a Flash movie has loaded/has attempted to load, from an end-user perspective?

    I found many a forum post in Google saying this was possible, but couldn't find any instructions!

    Thanks.

    Short of decompiling the .swf, it's not possible.

    The other option would be to monitor the traffic on your internet connection, beyond the browser and flash player. I'm sure there's some way that could be done (like through your router, etc), but I really have no idea what the best approach would be.

    Thanks for the responses. I asked around the office and one of the backend guys pointed me to a Firefox addon called Tamper Data, which does exactly what I'm looking for.
