RE: FLASH: ./ vs ../ insanity

[Schweiker, William (Chantilly)]

Rory,


This sounds like a webserver problem.  Are you going above the website

root when you go up a directory.  ./file.html means <same

directory>/file.html.  What is your webserver and what platform?

		hi all

		i dont know if this has been covered already, but i

have been having some trouble cross platforming my flash movies.  the

problem arises when i want to go back a directory.


		in usual html terms the command would be ../file.html,

which is fine on macs (which i am exporting the movies from) but this

does not work when i test on pc.  after much head scratching we

discovered that taking away a dot and typing ./file.html works on pc,

but not on mac....this seems to big and obvious to be a bug, but is

there any way around this other than absolute urls?


		thanks 


		rory
