yep...that was it.
If i change it to:
myRequest.url = "/xml/modules.xml";
stuff works.
Now I guess i should understand why. The class is several layers deep but
probably executes in the scope of the parent app. But even so, since the
folder 'xml' is a subfolder of the parent:
/xml/whateverFiles.xml should be equal to xml/whateverFiles.xml.
That's how it'd work in HTML and JavaScript.
