FLASH: IE, Mac and fruitloops

[steve]

Hello!

                                             This is the second time this problem

has snuck into my life:


                                             I've got a simple movie running in

the page which executes a get URL which works fine in NS but gives me a "File not

found" error window in IE. If I copy the file I'm trying to open into the

directory where my .swf files are located, then IE finds it just fine. It's as if

the relative URLs are being sought relative to where the ,swf files are located

and not where the HTML file is located. The embed and object tags have the same

"flashes/detect.swf" in them and the link in the  .swf file is just "default.html"

which should work (relative to my HTML file.) I'm working on a Macintosh, and feel

like fruitloops after chasing this problem around all afternoon... again!

                                             Please help.

                                             gratefully, Steve
