   And in chasing this up, I've discovered that the problem lies not in 
loading the SWF file, but in loading the remote XML that contains the 
content. Apparently, while you can embed a movie from anywhere, it can only 
read in XML from the domain that the embedding code is hosted on.

   Although, slightly confusingly, I can read remote XML when testing the 
movie in Flash. Is that different?

   Any ideas on how I can get around this one? Ideally, it'll all be self 
contained, as the ticker I'm building is intended to be hosted on third 
party sites.

   Drew.
