    Help w/ linking external .flvs to projector file on CD. Anyone have experience??

    I've created a Flash Projector file that will be distributed on CD-ROM. I need to tell the media components within my project where to look for the external FLVs that they are associated with. These FLVs will be on the same CD, but not in the same directory since the projector file will be in the root directory of the CD and the FLVs will be in a folder called 'movies'. Normally, if the FLVs are in the same location as the projector file, you only have to type the name of the FLV in the media component for it to know where to find the file. But what do I have to type in order for the projector to know where to look for the FLVs??? Would it be 'movies/flvname.flv' or 'movies\flvname.flv' or what??

    Thanks so much!!!!!

    Generally, I put all my flv files in a folder called "links" or "linked". I write the relative address as links/myMovieTitle.flv. That is assuming that the Projector file and the link folder are in the same directory.

    BTW, I always do a test run on a rewritable CD to be sure everything works before I commit myself to the permament CD-R.
