It is always tempting to blame the software that displays the error, or appears to misbehave, namely Flash.

That was not the case in this instance. The new hosting company had a configuration different than the old one, and some browsers were not accepting the stream of data correctly.

The clue came from another member of this list, who is having similar problems and suspected http compression at the web server level.

We had the compression modules for our site disabled, and also had DOM related options turned on. The hosting company's tech support doubted they were part of the problem, but turned them on anyway. (Given that this is a "subscriber pays for it" news site, we could not mess about with too many experiments, carefully isolating each in turn.)

That resolved the problem - next day all subscribers who were having problems could read the news and no additional problems were created. Not a Flash problem, really a browser problem that was resolved at the server end.

Just for the record, the previous host essentially turned on all of Apache's options, the new host takes a more minimalist approach, only switching on options as needed. This problem only afflicted some subscribers, and those few were using Internet Explorer.

Quote XML.onLoad docs from FMX2004:

"Event handler; invoked by Flash Player when an XML document is
received from the server. If the XML document is received
successfully, the success parameter is true. If the document was not
received, or if an error occurred in receiving the response from the
server, the success parameter is false..."

So yes i think the end of a data stream could trigger it.

So it's most likely that ii) - nothing to parse - is most likely, how long
does Flash wait / what triggers XML.onLoad?
Just the end of a data stream?
