I am running into the same problem. I have worked with xml strings before but never created an xml file until today and having trouble as well with receiving errors because I'm loading an external swf from a subdirectory folder with xml file in said folder along with jpegs.

I will test your solution but my only question is how do I write in the paths to my files in the xml file itself? I figured out that that might be part of the issue on why I'm receiving error message but I don't understand how to make that change. And I know it's probably a simple solution but I'm a perplexed newbie on this issue :/
