Here's another version: var str:String = "http://www.yourDomain.com/dir1/dir2/dir3/preloader.swf";; var intFirst:int = str.indexOf(".com/") +5; var intLast:int = str.lastIndexOf("/")+1; var intPathLen:int = intLast - intFirst; // ---- var serverName:String = str.substr( 0, intFirst ); var directoryPath:String = str.substr( intFirst, intPathLen ); var fileName:String = str.substr( intLast ); // ---- trace( "serverName: "+serverName, "\ndirectoryPath: "+directoryPath, "\nfileName: "+fileName );

Thanks for the replies. I'll be looking into both. kind of been playing around with this as well: str = _url; slash = str.lastIndexOf("/"); str = str.substring(slash+1, str.length); dot = str.lastIndexOf("."); filename = str.substring(0, dot); directoryLocation = _url.split(filename + ".swf").join(""); and setting it to frame 1.
