Change folder

Jan 7, 2008 8:00 AM

I have a hard drive based project that uses loadMovie and I need to change folders. I want to locate the .swf and .flv files in a folder named Video, the script - loadMovie("Video/anymovie.swf", "movie") will not load. If I locate the .swf file in the same folder as the .exe and use loadMovie("anymovie.swf", "movie") then the swf file can locate the .flv located in the Video folder. Is it possible to change the folder?

    sure, but in the path above, the 'Video' folder would be located 'inside' the directory of the calling swf, is this where it is or elsewhere? If the Video folder is 'outside' the current folder, you may need to use a full path to the folder extending up from the root drive.

    The Video folder is in the same directory as the Flash .exe, the .exe can't find the .swf file if it's located in the Video folder.

    I have 60 .flv videos and each is accessed by a specific .swf file, each .swf file is accessed by a button located in the Flash .exe. All of the files are located in the same root directory with the flv files located in the Video folder. I want all 60 swf files also located in the Video folder. The .exe can't access the .swf file if it's placed in the Video folder. How do I get the .exe to find the .swf file if it's located in the Video folder.

    I've already tried that, get "Error opening URL". Just tried my original loadMovie("Video/anymovie.swf, "movie") and now it works!. Tried to get this to work several times over the past few weeks, don't know why it works now.
