URLLoader sandbox issue

Question

I'm trying to load an XML file which is in the same directory
as the main mxml file. This is the code:
package testXML
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.errors.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.system.Security;
public class LoadXML
public function LoadXML():void {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Data/xml.xml");
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
trace ("bla");
try {
loader.load(request);
} catch (error:ArgumentError) {
trace("An ArgumentError has occurred.");
} catch (error:SecurityError) {
trace("A SecurityError has occurred.");
trace (error);
private function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
var dataXML:XML = XML(event.target.data);
trace(dataXML.toXMLString());
When tracing the sandboxtype it's localWithNetwork, could
this be the problem?
The solutions I tried are:
- setting in the flex-config.xml file the
<use-network>false</use-network>
- placing the file online in stead of local
Thanks!
