Question

i have faced this problem couple of days ago, while trying to import an external xml file into an AIR application.

 import flash.net.URLRequest;
 var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
 var url:String = "http://willperone.net/rss.php";
 var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
 ldr.load(urlReq);
 ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE , function(e) {
    trace('Wow, completed ...');
 });
 ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, function(e) {
    trace('IO_ERROR');
 });

and always the IO_ERROR shows up.
may i do it wrong or something needs a little of configuration, so please help

Thank you guys,
i found where the problem is :
i didn’t specify the type of the received content,
it solved when i used

request.contentType = "text/xml";

so the code will look like this :

function getData(onComplete) {
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://...");
    request.contentType = "text/xml";
    request.data = "";
    request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
    var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE ,function(e) { xmlParser(e); onComplete(e); } );
    try
    {
        mainData.splice(0,mainData.length);
        loader.load(request);
        return true;
    }
    catch (e){
        return false;
    }
}


function xmlParser(e) {
    var xml:XML = new XML(URLLoader(e.target).data);
    }
}
