Actually, I've confirmed that this is a security limitation. It works because (probably) your loadTest.swf file is local--try loading up a file from a remote HTTP server, and then execute the SWF from the standalone player (not from within Flash). It won't work. I still think it's a pretty

it could be a combination of things. first off, it could be something else grabbing hold of the mp3, (it happens a lot), then creating a new extension (which is a good thing to do inanycase) might fail because of mime type settings. it might be failing on different computers in the same browser
