Yes, that seems to be the consensus. Dave, thank you for the confirmation. I'll quit barking up the wrong tree.
The reason I was trying to do this is because it seemed like an easy way to protect data in a .swf. If the .swf was decompiled, all the data would remain tucked away out of reach. Also this would allow one movie to be reused as a template over and over again. To add the data, it would be called in dynamically via a text document. Easy to update and to add new movies with different content. Or that was the theory anyway. :-) Does anyone have any ideas on how dynamically add data for ease and security? I'm open to new ideas. <smile> Cheers, Flashgrrl --- Dave Watts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If by "root directory" you mean the root directory > of your web server, you > will not be able to do this unless you've created a > virtual mapping pointing > to this directory within your web server > configuration.
