.htaccess restricting access to flash preventing xml to load

[eluser]exodus7[/eluser]
Hey guys, I seem to be having a little problem. I have a flash movie which resides in a folder named 'spotlight' in the root directory. When the movie is loaded from my view,it is unable to load the xml file, but the movie loads fine. Both the xml file and the movie are located within the 'spotlight' folder.

Im assuming it has something to do with the .htaccess file because I can run it locally on my machine while referencing the files from the 'spotlight' folder on the server. I've tried using just about every example i've found in this forum, and I'm still experiencing the same issue. Here's what my .htaccess file currently looks like:



.htaccess:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|javascript|spotlight|includes|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

Any thoughts or ideas to try would be greatly appreciated :-)
