I mean how are you referencing you XML file / images within AS3? Are they absolute paths like http://some.com/xml/some.xml ? or relative paths like /xml/some.xml ? If you are using relative paths, then you should set the BASE param for your flash player so that the XML / images will actually be loaded from the correct location.
As the code you pasted does not show the pathing for the XML or images, I can't say whether you have any issues or not. That is why I asked you to post a link. No, you do not need to point to the XML / images through flashvars. If you have the location hard coded in your flash file, then that is fine. When you say it plays on the server, you mean when you use a standard <object>/<embed> method in your HTML page, or when you access the swf directly without HTML? At the end of the day SWFObject just creates the proper <object> structure to embed your swf in your HTML page. It does not affect your flash file's capabilities or stop you doing anything you are used to doing in Flash. It is easy to see if SWFObject has in fact embedded your swf on to the page by right clicking the area where the file should be and if you get a Flash player context menu, then you at leasdt know the embedding has happened as it should.
