Flash projector fails to load local XML on XP


A very simple case:

  • There's a Flash EXE projector
  • There's a XML file in the folder relative to the projector, data/menu.xml
  • Application is launched on a Windows XP box

On one of the XP machines XML fails to load over some awkward reason. In most environments it works fine. The same app runs well on all Macs tested.

Any ideas?


Solution

  • There was the rights issue with loading XML from a subdirectory so the case was resolved by bringing XML to a root level alongside the projector EXE.

    Otherwise there should have been a configuration made on each client for the trusted file locations similarly to resolving regular sandbox issues.
