Cross Domain XML not loading

[mchscstew]

Hello All

I created an XML gallery in as3 that will be loading images from a different domain.

I have a .swf (swf1) on serverA that loads an XML from serverB. The XML on serverB points to the image locations located on serverB (I need to host the images on serverB because server A doesn't have enough room).

The images load fine from swf1 locally in Flash, but when I publish swf1 to serverA, the images do not load. My guess is that the XML on serverB is not being loaded correctly because I can see that swf1 on the webpage.

Does anyone have any idea where to go from here?

Here is how my XML is set up:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<images>
<image src="http://serverB/media/images/image.jpg" title="This is image 1"/>
</images>


Here is my code:

There is a crossdomain.xml in the serverB/media folder on serverB that allows serverA access to its files.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

I've tried just about everything. I know there is a simple fix. Any ideas lingering out there?

Resolved..

Turns out I wasn't in the root of the server, so my crossdomain.xml wasn't loading. Also, I forgot to clear my cache/cookies when refreshing the page
