XMLLoader Loading from different domain

[rodoneill]

I'm trying to load several twitter xml feeds using XMLLoader e.g -http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/egusername.xml with no success.

 

I can load this fine when using URLLoader, but when I use XMLLoader it doesn't seem to do anything, when listening to LoaderMax onProgress, it just returns 0% a few times and stops.

 

If I copy the twitter xml data into a local xml file, I can load this fine through XMLLoader - I'm assuming it's because I'm requesting from a different domain, but twitter has a crossdomain.xml file and like I said, URLLoader loads this fine.

 

FYI I'm getting the same problem debugging locally and running release build on localhost via wamp.

 

EDIT - It's obviously finding the xml, as it doesn't throw errors (it does if I modify the url), it simply won't load it....?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hm, when I do this, I get an error - you don't?:

 

var l:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
l.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, test);
l.load( new URLRequest("http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/egusername.xml") );

You would get an error because that Twitter username does not exist, I was using that as an example, sorry. try replacing it with my actual twitter username:

var l:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
l.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, test);
l.load( new URLRequest("http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/rodoneill.xml") );

Works fine for me with XMLLoader (and without). Can you please post an example FLA that demonstrates it NOT working? Also, you're using the latest version of all the classes, right? Just making sure.

Hmm, I was using version 1.18, updating to 1.191 has fixed the problem. Here's what I was running anyway, thanks again, LoaderMax is the best loader API I've used in years.

 

_usernames = new Vector.();
_usernames[0] = "haywirefilms";
_usernames[1] = "rodoneill";
_usernames[2] = "tezzling";

_loaderMax = new LoaderMax();
_loaderMax.addEventListener(LoaderEvent.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
_loaderMax.addEventListener(LoaderEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);

var xmlLoader:XMLLoader;
for(var i:uint=0; i<_usernames.length; i++)
{
xmlLoader = new XMLLoader("http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/" + _usernames[i] + ".xml");
_loaderMax.append(xmlLoader);
}

_loaderMax.load();
