Hi Pettor
It won't actually solve your particular problem (probably due to
security issues in Flash ?), but...
You should definitely pass the cake path variables to Flash through
HTML/Javascript. For example (in your <object> tag):
<param name="flashVars" value="webroot=<? echo $this->webroot
?>&base=<? echo $this->base ?>" />
(it may depend on the way you embed your Flash app, ie swfobject has a
method addVariable("webroot","<? echo $this->webroot ?>"); )
Like this, you have your paths variables set in your flash app
(_root.webroot and _root.base, probably), without loading anything.
Your way is kind of "dirty", IMHO.
Hope it helps...
