This file is great, work like it needs to, but I’m having an issue with it. I’m reorganizing the paths so that I can set my folders up (FLA, SWF , XML, AS, etc.) So the I’m in the FLA , I publish it to the ”../SWF/main.swf” and it plays and goes to ”../XML/content.xml” to parse the XML and everything works like you would expect it. That’s in the FLA publish (CTRL + Enter) preview, so then I go to the SWF and try to run it locally and it craps out like it can’t find the XML or external .AS file or something. I don’t understand the problem, I’m sure I pathed everything correctly that’s why it was successful when I originally published it I thought. Very weird problem thought I would see if anyone could send me some suggestions because I need to try to organize it like this for the client. Thanks in advance for the help

If I understand well, you Fla is in the same directory as all the folders, and that’s why it can actually reach the folders. But if you call the swf from the SWF folder, it won’t find the XML folder from inside the SWF folder.

However, this should be fixed when you embed your main.swf in an html file, providing your HTML is in the same directory as your fla, and all other folders, as your xml will now be called from the html file, not from the swf in the SWF folder anymore….

Hope that makes sense….
