Non-local XML feed

[Herk]

Okay I have a file in which some vars are loaded from and external xml feed. It works perfectly on my local machine, but when I upload it to a webserver(not the same server the feed is on) it no longer loads those vars. I've heard before that this problem exists but I do not know how to correct it. Do I have to draw those vars in PhP then put them back into an xml file on the same server as the swf file?

Please help.

Make sure that the URL's you access the swf page and the url the swf uses to access the feed is the same. If your swf is referencing http://192.168.0.2 and you are accessing your server via http://www.myserver.com the flash security system will kick and stop you from using it.

Thanks

Well, the swf was looking for www.x.com and that was were the xml was. The only way I finally got it to work was by writing a php script that echoed the xml feed onto my local server.

I had the same problem only in an asp environment. I echoed the xml feed on the server and it worked for my work machine, but I cannot get it to work on my personal laptop, but if I download the swf and run it locally, it works.

I thought it might be a firewall issue, but there are others outside of the firewall who can access the newsfeed without any problems.

Is there some sort of security setting on my browser that might be screwing up the feed?

You need a proxy

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

the newsfeed flash piece needs to work for anyone who tries to access it from the internet.

Is there something I can do at the actionscript level to fix this or do I need to bring the network admins in on the project to configure the server somehow?

I have verified that the page works for some people but not for others. I'm not sure how many people outside the company can or cannot see the news articles:

The new Security Sandbox rules pretty much changed the way a lot of us code RSS readers and such for the web. One of the better articles I've read concerning this may be of interest to you:
