Strange that this should come up, the other day my colleague was working on a file that used relative refferences loaded in from XML, it worked fine, the next day when he open it up it had stopped working - the fix we found was instead of:
"mydir/myfile.xml" Was to use "/mydir/myfile.xml" The odd thing was it had worked fine before and we'd not moved any of the files around. Our swf runs in a projector environment, but it may be worth a try?
