External XML into Flash (AS2)

[AutumnsDecay]

Hey.

New problem. Ugh...

As it turns out Flash will not load an XML file located elsewhere (some other websites, network, etc..). It will only load local XML. This causes a problem for me.

My code requires external XML as it is generated by a weather service.

Is there a way (using AS2) to allow for loading of external XML instead of having it hosted locally?

I think you havn't enabled that domain where the xml comes from, in the script..

System.security .allowDomain("w ww.thedomain.co m");

for more clarification see Adobe Flash LiveDoc :

There is another option under File > Publish Settings >Local playback security > and set that to access network files only .

Not sure if is your case , but it might help u.
