RE: FLASH: ./ vs ../ insanity

[Robert Bleeker]

I have found that the flash file usually takes it's relative reference from

the html-file except on a particular platform/browser combination (shit I

forgot which, probably mac&explorer) when it takes the relative refrence

from the actual flash-file location.

It really knocked me around for ages.


I have been putting the flash-files next to the html-file to avaoid this

from happening.

Wierd that you are having a problem with this as I have a PC and I reference

the previous directory using '../' all the time.


Never ran into that problem.  Can you send us/me a sample file or some

sample HTML and maybe we/I can look at this?

hi all

i dont know if this has been covered already, but i have been having some

trouble cross platforming my flash movies.  the problem arises when i want

to go back a directory.


in usual html terms the command would be ../file.html, which is fine on macs

(which i am exporting the movies from) but this does not work when i test on

pc.  after much head scratching we discovered that taking away a dot and

typing ./file.html works on pc, but not on mac....this seems to big and

obvious to be a bug, but is there any way around this other than absolute

urls?


thanks


rory
