I think you're right about this. With the full Flex engine, I'm pretty sure
that things work this way, so I would expect the same from this.

Actually, based on the information posted, we can already see the difference
in paths. The Flex-generated SWFs are expected to be in the same directory
as the file used to generate them, which in this case is the /includes
directory. The original poster is using CFINCLUDE to include a file from
that directory, and that file is the one generating the SWF. But the overall
page is in a parent directory, and that directory is where the browser is
looking for the SWF.

I don't know enough about Flex to know if this is something that can be
reconfigured. In the normal process of Flex usage, this isn't a problem
because you're using the MXML file within the URL that the user is viewing.
