loading external from text file

cramroop,

Thanks for your answer. I am running the swf file and the txt files under the same domain. They are in separate folders, but under the same domain. I tried running them in the same folder and the txt files were still not pulling in.

Flash won't load the text files from a domain different than of where the swf is laoded from. This is a violation of flash's security. If the text files resides in a different domain than that of the swf, then you will need to add your swf's domain in cross-domain.xml file. This cross-domain.xml file should reside in the root of the website that houses your text files.

Another solution/work-around is to move the text files into the same domain as your swf.

It works from the development envrionment becaues the security measures aren't enforced there. It won't work locally outside of flash either unless you explicitly give it permission.
