I wish to ALL – The very best of the season and a Happy and prosperous New Year. . . . . .Ela

I'm sorry Ella --i really don't know and don't have time to research it. I'm sorry I miss understood your question.
Here is about every Swish resource I know of. Maybe if you have a look around you can find a tutorial.

on press>Url>type the exact url to the folder. I dont know if you are loading a movie or not. the question is not clear to me.

seasons greetings to you also,

this is all html, and i know at least one mod wouldn't like it if i answered you, but what the heck. it's the season to be merry and you need help :) so, here goes --

where is the file you want to point to and how to call or point to it

you can use absolute path or relative path.

if you use absolute path, your browser will look for the url again and load the particular page. so, if your files are in the same location (URL), it is better to NOT use absolute path.

relative path

A relative path is the location of the page in relation to the page being viewed. If the page you're linking to is in the same directory as the page being viewed, then the relative path is simply the page name.


bio/about-me.html about-me.html is located in a folder (directory) called bio that is located in the current directory.

bio/other/about-me.html about-me.html is located in a folder called other that is located in a folder called bio that is located in the current directory.

../about-me.html about-me.html is located in a folder one level up from the current directory.

../../about-me.html about-me.html is located in a folder two levels up from the current directory.

to our browser, ../ means one level up

i hope this is clear as glass

Thank you very much – and no offense but my query was not HTML related- the word that I need the “on press” is in swish - .swi and I need to call another swish page - .swi. Both will be exported to .swf and are the main pages in there own folder so for example:

Main1 has links to open page 1, 2,3,4,5
And the “on press” links to
Main 2 which has links to call Page 1, 2,3,4,5

It was easier for me to create this once then copy and paste the same website with different info into another folder, but my problem now is (how to call on the 2nd folder to open)

The pages are will both be nestled in an HTML page, so the URL will not change….Ela

suppose you have 2 folders called animal and bird
animal has a0.html, a1.html, a2.html, a3.html etc
bird has b0.html, b1.html, b2.html, b3.html etc


if your movie is in animal folder and you want to call b0.html. then
your url is bird/b0.html

You would use GotoUrl with the target _self to change teh html page. To open a the html page in a new window, use target _blank. If you want a different movie to replace the current movie on the SAME html page, use the action LoadMovie. Use a relative path statement to define the folder the new movie is in and load it to level 0.
