Florian Nücke:
I'm assuming you open the SWF in the standalone Flash Player when that happens, right?

If so: the reason lies within the fact that a random parameter is automatically added to the URL to the XML every time (in this case the ?r=707068) to circumvent Flash's caching - which oftentimes keeps things in cache even though they're in need for an update. The standalone Flash Player does not understand that parameter syntax (it's an http/browser thingy), so it actually tries to open a file with that name - which doesn't exist, obviously.

I'll have to investigate how to tell whether the engine is running inside a browser or the standalone player, then I can add a workaround for that.

Well i just removed the extra parameter from the load request which helps. Although now it doesnt get refreshed it isnt nescessary for me at this point.

Couldnt you build in an extra check, when it hits IOErrorEvent on the load request it first tries loading the xml url without the extra param? That way when published in flash IDE it works and online it still doesnt get cached. Just a thought.

Florian Nücke:
I found out how to check for the player type (if you're interested: http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/helpcenter/actionscript30cookbook/chapter3.html) so I'll add an extra check based on that for the next version.

//Closed, check implemented.
