XML not working on server

[NedlyMandico]

i downloaded a couple templates from flashmo.com all them reference a XML file everything works after publish but when uploaded the text fields say undefined and the music doesn't play this is quite frustrating as my hole site is wrapped up into these swf. projects. Here is my AS Code

Check your paths to the MP3's. Are you uploading them the same way you're usining them on your desktop?

Check your paths to the MP3's. Are you uploading them the same way you're usining them on your desktop?

[NedlyMandico]

it's all in one folder songs, swfs, xml, fla and i put that folder onto my server is there such a thing as a server that won't let you use xml files im not very expirenced with this stuff. When i preview in my browser i can see the backgound and the buttons work the change what track number im on but no music and no text

[a_modified_dog]

you have -
var song_folder:String = "songs/";
.....
flashmo_xml.load( song_folder + "flashmo_songs.xml");
.....
s.loadSound(song_folder + song_list[current], true);

so the html and swf is in the root folder
and the xml and mp3's need to be in a sub-folder called - songs

root/
----songs/

ps... don't upload the fla, it's an authoring file and useless online

[NedlyMandico]
