Sounds like some sort of caching issue which can plague IE+Flash+XML. just as a quick test, just tack on a cache busting querystring like:
"mycontent.swf?r=" + new Date().getTime(); //millisecond accurate unique number Do this for the loading of both your swf and XML file (as we don't know which one is having the issue right now). See if this makes a difference... If it does, then you know it is cache related. If not, then you have eliminated cache as a possible cause.
