Hi Maurice, Check out the "base" attribute for the object / embed tag (you can also define it with SwfObject and similar scripts for embedding swfs):
base - . or *[base directory]* or *[URL]*. Specifies the base directory or URL used to resolve all relative path statements in the Flash Player movie. This attribute is helpful when your Flash Player movies are kept in a different directory from your other files. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/127/tn_12701.html Set it to "swf" and it should work without needing to hard code paths. I think you can also do this: loadSomethig("../xml/some.xml") if, for instance, you have an "xml" folder at the same level as "swf".
