Loading xml into Flash movie hosted on IIS6 server not working

I have a flash file that loads an XML file at runtime. When the file is .swf

run locally or on an Apache server it works fine, but when placed on an IIS6 based server the file is not loaded.

Can anyone help with this?

You may have file permission issues. Make sure your xml file has read permissions for the "Network Service" account (or ASPNET user if you are on XP)



If you are trying to download FLV you also need to set this as a mime type in IIS. This is usually not configured by default.

I had the same problem ... everything loads fine locally, even referencing the webserver locations from my local machine in Flash ... when loading swf and the same paths, the xml image paths are not loaded ...

If you load XML from a domain other than where the SWF is hosted, you run into a "cross-domain security" issue. Some docs here:
