I think Safari has something like this built in.

For example I use this... var temp:String; temp=this.loaderInfo.url; // Use the SWF path as a source temp=temp.replace(".swf","scores.txt"); // for the scores text file Also, you could email back to yourself the directories that you find. If they were prepared to run it, they could help by running Charles' web proxy from www.xk72.com/charles That would help them identify failed loading of files.
