Webmaster Forum / Flash / Data Integration / June 2008

Hey friends, I was wondering if anyone has experience working with the
publishing process built-in to Adobe Flash CS3. I'm having a tricky problem
that needs some expert diagnosis.

My site structure looks like this:

Root

    index.html
    /images

        myimage1.jpg
        myimage2.jpg
        myimage3.jpg
        ...

    /swf

        myFile.fla
        myData.xml

If I open myFile.fla the project works great. The .fla reads that .xml file in
the same directory, traverses the folders and gets the images. If I embed the
same file in index.html it can't find the images.

The XML

The xml contains the path to the images. Right now,
Code:

 imgsrc="../images/myImage1.jpg"

is the value that works correctly with my .fla when I open it. It does not
work when I embed that .fla in an HTML file located in the root directory.
Neither does making the path relative to the site root
Code:

 imgsrc="images/myImage1.jpg"

which I had expected to be my problem.

I believe this to be a problem with AC_RunActiveContent.js and the way the
flash detection uses JavaScript, but I could be wrong.
