XML content wont display in call in SWF of a main movie

[elamberdor]

A main movie on the root directory, calls in swf's on button press from "flash" folder, each contain one XML field that updates for each. XML located in flash folder.

The XML displays fine when it loads into a flash movie on the page, however, when that movie is called into another movie - the XML content wont display.

Any ideas?

not sure if:

this._lockroot = true;

will help, but i put it in my swfs anyways.

Here is the XML similar in each swf :

function loadXML(loaded) {
    if (loaded) {
        _root.course = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
        desc_txt.text = _root.course;
    } else {
        content = "file not loaded!";
    }
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("myxmlfile.xml");

myxmlfile.xml in in the flash folder with the swf's, not on the main. Absolute links may not be possible in my instance,
I know
other people are having problems with this,

Any ideas or steps in the right direction would be great!
Thank guys!

As the XML is working, I thought it might be a path problem so I've put it in the flash forum.

WORKING!

(yes i know i fix my own problems within 5 mins - sorry!)


for reference:
it was a path problem, not an XML problem, and I was uploading on our local devel server, not live, so it wasn't working!

I have mainmovie.swf on root directory, and submovie.swf and xmlfile.xml in a subfolder, called flash.

tested in flash - the path will work as: xmlData.load("xmlfile.xml");
but not live.

To make it work you need to refrence the xml as if you are making a button sitting on the mainmovie.swf, and go looking in the flash folder:

Code:

xmlData.load("flash/xmlfile.xml");

upload, test your main movie, then it works! =D
