Directory paths for external swfs.

Is there any way to load an external swf, residing in a different directory to the projector, when running off a CD.

I have read a lot of posts that tell you have to run the swfs from the same directory as the exe but it makes it really messy as I have many external images and swfs and want the projector to be in the root directory of a CD and the other files to be in another directory.

Ofcourse!

Code:

---

loadMovieNum("subFolder/myMovie.swf", 5);

---

Hope this helps! :)

In a string literal you should always escape "\" characters with another "\" character like this:

loadMovieNum("subFolder\\myMovie.swf", 5);

Alternatively you can use the "/" as a path separator like this..

loadMovieNum("subFolder/myMovie.swf", 5);
