Add your working folder in the Global Security Settings panel. This allows you to load external files from a single SWF in your file system. Its the same if you want a.swf to load b.swf even if they is located in the same folder.

• Go to the Settings panel: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html
• Choose "Add Location" from the dropdown
• Click "Browse for folder" and add the folder containing your SWF

This will allow your SWF to read external files.

This should not be a problem if you upload you SWF to a server though.
