Xml on server not loading consistently

Question

I have a project in which I'm loading an xml file of about
70kb in size. When testing, I'm finding that sometimes it loads
properly, and sometime the user needs to click the browser's
Refresh button before the xml will load.
I'm using what I think is fairly common code:
myData.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
//code here parses the xml
myData.load("myxmlfile.xml");
The file always plays perfectly fine when played directly off
of my PC, but I receive the inconsistent results when the files are
loaded to the server. I assume that the xml file isn't being loaded
properly or quickly enough all the time, but I can't figure out
what the issuemight be. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Bill, the code you have looks ok. Is the movie doing the
loading of the
XML, being loaded by another movie - a preloader perhaps? If
that's the case
you probably need to delay the load call until the movie is
fully loaded.
