I'm loading public XML weather data from noa.gov into an MC for display. Although everything works fine when running locally, the data never loads on a web server. I'm attaching the file if anyone wants to look at it. It's online here: http://www31.brinkster.com/zjonbz/wther.html
Is something in Flash preventing loading? How do I get around this problem?
Again, like I said to someone earlier in another forum, this seems to be an ongoing problem. I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this stuff because XML integration with Flash is so darn useful, but there are certain rules to follow.
In this case, I wrote a proxy php file that calls the actual XML source file from another server. That way, your php proxy file now IS the same as the external xml file (and it consistent, so you never have to adjust the proxy, everytime that php file is called, it'll download the external xml data). All you do then is point your flash player to the proxy php file instead of the external xml file.
