XML shows in Flash, but doesn't show on server?

Question

Hello.
I have a Flash website with 5 sections (Featured Work, News, About Me, Services, Contact). All the sections works fine, both in Flash and on the server, if the content isn't loaded from XML. But in the News section i use XML for loading the news.
If i test my movie in flash, the whole site works fine, and the XML News works perfect. But if i test the movie in a virtual server (like MAMP) or if i test it on my own server, the news section doesn't show.
I can't seem to find the problem?

I'm sorry to sound so stupid, but this is new to me.
I tried pasting the trace(MT2.newsNum,Number(MT2.newsNum)) in both out and in the for loop, and i still get the same trace "5 5"
I'm not really sure what to do, so i'll just try explaining my whole site to you:
I have my "main.fla" with three layers with actionsscript:
- Navigation Actions
     - Has a for loop that creates 6 textfields with clickevents and SWFAddress that changes between 6 frames in a MovieClip (SubNavBar).
- Positioning Actions
     - Positions the textfield buttons, the navigation bar, and the sub navigation bar in the SubNavBar movieclip, and places my dynamic background.
- XML
     - I can't explain the XML layer, so i have attached it.
The SubNavBar MovieClip has 6 frames. The 1 is empty, so the site is clear at first. In frame 2, 4 and 6 there is a for loop like in the navigation layer, so these layers have a sub navigation bar, that once again changes between some frames in a movieclip.
In frame 3 their is the news code i pasted earlier, and in frame 5 there isn't anything yes, but it should just be graphics.
XML LAYER:
// XML LISTS //
// ========= //
var newsTitle:XMLList;
var newsInfo:XMLList;
var newsContent:XMLList;
var newsTitleArray:Array;
var newsInfoArray:Array;
var newsContentArray:Array;
// NUMBER OF ITEMS
var newsNum:Number;
// LOAD XML //
// ======== //
var xml:XMLLoader = new XMLLoader(this,"data.xml");
// function called when XML is loaded
function getXML(xmlData:XML):void {
// STORING RELEVANT DATA INTO LISTS FOR LATER ACCESS //
newsTitle = xmlData.news.article.title;
newsInfo = xmlData.news.article.info;
newsContent = xmlData.news.article.content;
newsNum = newsTitle.length();
    newsTitleArray = xmlData.news.article.title.text().toXMLString().split("\n") ;
newsTitleArray.reverse();
newsInfoArray = xmlData.news.article.info.text().toXMLString().split("\n") ;
newsInfoArray.reverse();
newsContentArray = xmlData.news.article.content.text().toXMLString().split("\n") ;
newsContentArray.reverse();
In the folder i have uploaded to my server, i have following:
- AC_RunActiveContent.js - Background.png (main background) - com (folder) (GreenSock) - data.xml - index.html - js (folder) (SWFAddress) - mailer.php (Contact Form) - main.fla - main.swf - media (folder) (Pictures For Background) - Mosaic.swf (Mosaic Overlay For Background) - P-Logo.png - preview.swf (Background) - SWFAddress.as - SWFAddressEvent.as - textLayout_1.0.0.595.swz - xml (folder) (xml config for background) (SEPERATE FLA FILE (NOT A PROBLEM) - XMLLoader.as
The XMLLoader.as is the file that loads my data.xml. The data.xml has the text to my news section.
XMLLoader.as:
package {
import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class XMLLoader extends Sprite {
private var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
public var loadedXML:XML;
// accept parent path to xml
public function XMLLoader(mT:MovieClip, path:String):void {
// LOADING XML //
// =========== //
loader.load(new URLRequest(path));
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete, false, 0, true);
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError, false, 0, true);
function onComplete(evt:Event):void {
loadedXML = new XML(evt.target.data);
loader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
loader.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);
// Run getXML function from where this clas was instantiated
mT.getXML(loadedXML);
function onIOError(evt:IOErrorEvent):void {
trace("Error: " + evt.text);
I hope this helps you? I hope you now can give me more specific help?
