We have implemented a Flash photo slideshow on our site and it works just fine
for most of our users. Whenever the xml.load(success) returns false I have the
Flash email me a debug report.

For the life of me I can not find a common thread between all of these people
having problems with the Flash. I don't think it's a cross-domain issue because
it works for most people, and I have the crossdomain.xml files where they
should be.

Has anyone had this sort of problem? What should I look into next? I'm
thinking about scrapping the xml.load() altogether and just passing all of the
data I need through via a query string appended to the Flash movie's url.

When some report problems and others do not you might want to gather data
about what version of the Flash player they are using. Perhaps there is an
older version and as I recall Flash 5 had some funky issues with XML. You
can get that with the System.capabilities class, however you may need in
your email code to test for undefined I would think for the Flash players
that do not support the AS class.
