RegExp in Browser

[Septenary]

Hello,

I have made a flash applet in which a string is checked using the RegExp.exec() method. This works fine when I test it locally, but when I upload it to my website, the RegExp no longer works. Why would this be? :S

Here is my code:

function comp(e:Event){
    var str:String = e.target.data;
    browser.text += e.target.data;
    var imgRE:RegExp = /<img[^>]+id\s*=\s*['"]([A-Za-z0-9]+)['"][^>]*\/\s*>/g;
    do{
        var exec:Object = imgRE.exec(str);
        if (exec) browser.text = exec[1];
    }while(exec);
}

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, comp);
loader.load(new URLRequest("Content/home_2.html"));

It loads an external HTML file and then checks it for img tags. It then takes the "id" parameter of the img tag (as exec[1]) and puts it into a textbox on the stage.

Thanks for your help - sorry if this is a stupid question!

Are you sure the RegExp is failing and not the URLRequest? 'Cause most likely it's a sandbox / security issue. Make sure you've set Security.allowDomain('domain.com') for the site it's on. Sorry if you already knew that and this is dumb, but just to cover all the bases...make sure if you're going from a mac to a linux box that the folder Content is actually spelled with a capital C as you have it in the request... and consider re-coding that request for test purposes to the actual http: address and running the .swf locally to debug it against the online files...
That's all I can tell you, I don't see any reason why the regExp would fail...
