Xml file not loading from different server

Question

Hi,
I have a simple flash banner that is pulling a number from an xml file on a different server. When it gets to the frame where the number should be it just says "transferring data from eckul.com" and will not actually pull in the number. Unfortunately I can't put the files on the same servers. Any help would be much appreciated, below are the links and the xml code I'm using followed by the action script. Cheers

http://www.eckul.com/number.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<inventors>
    <person>
        <name>892</name>
        </inventors>
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.inventor = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.comments = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
name_txt.text = _root.inventor;
comment_txt.text = _root.comments;
} else {
  trace("file not loaded!");
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("http://www.eckul.com/number.xml");

so, in frame 1 of your fla before you execute that cross-domain load method, use:
System.security.loadPolicyFile("http:www.yourcrossdomain.com/subdirectoriesIfNeeded/crossd omain2.xml");
where the following (crossdomain.xml) is in www.yourcrossdomain.com's root (IF you want to allow allow subdirectory policy files):
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
and in the subdirectory (and its descendents) that you want to allow access put crossdomain2.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
  <allow-access-from domain="www.thedomainthatstryingtoloadcrossdomaindata.com" />
</cross-domain-policy>
