Why won't this load?

[Iounstone]

If I don't declare my variable as XML it traces fine:

function init(){
    trace(myXML);
}
var myXML = new XML();
myXML.onLoad = init;
myXML.load("ads.xml"); 

But if I declare it, it won't trace.

function init(){
    trace(myXML);
}
var myXML:XML  = new XML();
myXML.onLoad = init;
myXML.load("ads.xml"); 

Here is the xml file I'm loading

<ads>
  <ad>
    <image>images/image1</image>
    <link>[url]http://www.site1.com[/url]</link>
  </ad>
  <ad>
    <image>images/image2</image>
    <link>[url]http://www.site2.com[/url]</link>
  </ad>
  <ad>
    <image>images/image3</image>
    <link>[url]http://www.site3.com[/url]</link>
  </ad>
  <ad>
    <image>images/image4</image>
    <link>[url]http://www.site4.com[/url]</link>
  </ad>
</ads> 

Can someone explain this to me?

Thanks

I was working off of a network drive. I moved all my files to my local drive and it traces fine. I can't think a reason why this would matter. Thanks for confirming that the code was correct.

Security probably, oh don't we love it!

Flash doesn't like getting anything from a remote host. If the source files for the swf are on any other server then it just won't go get them.
