Thanks for looking at this. It is strange that Safari and Explorer 'find' the XML file but Firefox does not. Maybe they're more forgiving of some error in my code.
I have both my Flash file and XML file inside a folder called "flash" - But Firefox is still looking for my XML file at the root level. What should I change? I have absolute paths pointing to my Flash file and XML, and I'm using the "base" param to point to the "flash" folder. What can I do so it works in all these browsers?
