Hello Ranjith,
 
Thank you for the question.
Here are our recommendations:

  1. Use the full absolute path to the report file (e.g. https://cdn.flexmonster.com/reports/report.json)
  2. Check that the report URL is accessible from the browser. You should see the JSON content of the report (same as with the above report.json).
  3. Verify the browser console for the errors.

In the case of further issues, please provide more details (console logs, error messages, screenshots, etc.).
 
Look forward to hearing from you.
 
Regards,
Ian

Ranjith,
 
Thank you for the details.
Please note, that the browser allows JavaScript to load files only over http:// and https://.
The error "Not allowed to load local resource" appears when you try to access files from the local file system (e.g. file://). In other words, that is the browser/JavaScript limitation.
So, report files should be served over HTTP/HTTPS by the webserver to be able to load them via load() method.
Another option is to use open() method and select the file from the file system manually.
 
Hope it helps.
 
Regards,
Ian
