Check your paths. Are you pulling data from a relative folder? or absolute URL/folder?

Absolute path... is the path calling from a windows path, like
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>C:\Folder Name\Flash_vars.txt</font id=code></pre id=code>
If so, then that's your problem, Mac doesn't use "C:\" (etc.). You're better off using realtive paths (<i>../../flash_vars.txt</i>, etc.).

By that quote-quote, I assume absolute paths is the only way you're approaching it?!
Is someone else doing the Flash? are you doing the Flash?
