ok, maybe i'm not being clear.

what _url string comes out on a PC:

on flash:
file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Owner/Desktop/website%20v2.0/site/early.swf

on IE:
file://C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\website v2.0\site\early.swf

you can see how these are slightly different. I'd like to know exactly how they come out on a mac, because i know it's different than above.
