The site has one HTML page and swf and the root level, and then all the

.swf's that are child movies some in folders, and some not, are referenced

to the swf and the root.  IE.. A child movie in a folder referencing another

child movie in the same folder is still, Root/folder/file


So I guess the short answer is yes it works because I am referencing swf, to

swf.  But it's good to understand that If I add some html in lower folders

it's a whole new ball game.


I appreciate all the assistance.  I will post the site for review, when it

is worthy.  :-)
