cfm called dirrect not from http?

Question

I am working on a little flash app. this app calls a cfm file
which generates an xml formated output that flash can then read and
do what it needs to with. I ran into a strange problem. When I try
to call the cfm file directly from flash it breaks. for example
dirXML.load(dirRead.cfm');
this calls the cfm file which sits in the same directory on
the server as does the flash movie this breaks.
dirXML.load('
http://localhost/dirRead.cfm');
however if I call it through http it works fine.
I am pretty new to coldfusion and this is confusing the heck
out of me. I have worked with php and never had this problem.
Is there some setting in the coldfusion admin that will allow
the first to work? am I doing something wrong? any help would be
great
thanx dave

that was a typo sorry. It still has the same problem. the strange thing is that it returns cf tags. Its reading the file but it seams that coldfusion is not running when it s called direct only if its called through http://... as you can see
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="no"><dirTop><cfparam name="url.sort" default="datelastmodified desc" /></dirTop></cfsetting>
this is the code it returns not the xml it should.
