Loading a remote swf into parent, default arraycollection result of httpservice fails

[jmars]

I have a simple flex app which loads an external XML into an arrayCollection using HTTPService send method. This works fine as both a stand-alone, or when loaded into it's parent as a LOCAL file via the SWFLoader tag. However, when I place this child file onto a remote server and try to load it into the parent which resides on my desktop, the ArrayCollection default resultFormat of the send method triggers the following runtime error (listed below). I don't think it's a sandbox issue because when I change result format to e4x, it works fine remotely. I've been hitting a wall on this for days now... Please advise and thanks to all in advance!!!
