XML Flash problem in Joomla

I've been creating a XML Flash Carousel for my website in AS2 in Flash. I've managed to get it working, the icons are images specified in the XML file, as well as links to click on each icon which lead to an external site.

My problem is, when I embed this same Flash file into Joomla, it doesn't display, it just leaves a space where that object should be (a space of 650 x 400 pixels). When I right click this 开发者_开发技巧space, you get the usual 'About Adobe Flash Player 10' message you get when you right click any Flash file.

This is obviously a XML problem rather than a Flash problem because the Flash is there but its not displaying anything because it can't read the file to get the icons to display them.

Is there anybody who can help with this? Is there a common thing with Joomla where you can't use XML with Flash or XML with Joomla at all?

Just for your reference, I've put the entire Carousel in the images/stories folder in my file structure.

Hope you can help,

Kind Regards,

This sounds like a crossdomain issue. 1. What is the URL in the browser to your site. 2. What it the URL that you have coded into your flash file to download the XML.

If they are not in the same domain you will get issues. eg. You go www.mysite.com/filewithflash.html flash file loads mysite2.com/xml.xml (note no www). Or file is loading form a different domain.

Use www.getcharles.com which is a java app, it will show you all the files that are being loaded and why the flash is not working (I assume its looking for the wrong file).
