Hi,
see this thread for more info:
http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/pipermail/flashcoders/2006-November/175633.html
Using the code there it would be:
lessonXML.load(App.getPath(_root, "media/eLesson_player.xml"));
basically the url of the xml file has to match that of the swf that loads it.

The issue it seems is how you are using your folder structure. I noticed
when I took out the media/ from the lessonXML.load("media/eLesson_player.xml");
that the flash loaded the xml properly but in your html you have the html
loading it from media/eLessonPlayerv0.1.swf so when the html page loads the
flash piece it is looking for the xml in media/media dir. I would guess that
is where your issue lies.
