RSS Feeds display in Flash but not browser

Question

I have a Flash application that pulls an RSS feed and
displays the top 5 titles and descriptions. Everything works fine
when I test the application in Flash but when I try to publish the
file I get the security msg in IE (To help protect your security,
Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts
or ActiveX controls that could access your computer...blah blah).
When I test in Firefox the movie clips containing the feeds
simply don't appear (everything else does though). I'm using an
external class file to parse the xml from the feeds and populate
the movie clips with the content. Is there another way I should be
doing it, or is there a publish setting I'm unaware of that will
block external content from being displayed in the player?
Any advice would be appreciated - thanks!

Answer 1

sorry :(
just figured some people would only check certain favorite parts of the forums
public class MyApplet extends JApplet{
JPanel myPanel = null;
Graphics2D _gfx = null;
init(){
_gfx = (Graphics2D)myPanel.getGraphics();
// The usual constructor, initializes / adds components
private void restart(){
drawThread = new DrawThread( gfx );
_drawThread.start();
private class ButtonListener implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
if( e.getActionCommand() == "Restart" ){
                    restart();
public class DrawThread extends Thread{
Graphics2D _gfx = null;
public DrawThread( Graphics2D gfx ){
_gfx = gfx;
run(){
// setColor()
// drawString()
// drawRect()
// etc.
// pretty straight forward. not sure what could be wrong...
