Parent Folder as Variable?

[bytemonster]

Is it possible to get the name of the folder a swf resides in as a variable. I have different swfs in many folders with different names and I'd like to use the folder name as a variable for the path of the swf. For example. I have this as:

keyArtLoader_mc.loadMovie("/movies/PTH_SkyCaptain/key_art.jpg");

I would like to make it so I don't have to modify this path with every swf, for example:

keyArtLoader_mc.loadMovie("/movies/"+foldername+"/key_art.jpg");

Is this possible?

Yes there is.

Use mc._url. This will get the URL of the location. Then just parse the string.

Right! I didn't think of that. I'll try it out and post the results.

THanks!
