I’m not sure I understood that. SWFLoader overrides default Flash behavior and makes all of your relative paths relative to the SWF using that SWFLoader.

I was actually hoping to find a solution that would eliminate the need to write the path into the 'source' attribute. So that all swf's loaded by mx:SWFLoader would default to some "base" path that is different from the root directory of the parent swf (default behavior of flash), allowing me to write the source as source="nested.swf". --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , Alex Harui wrote: > > {code} > > > > > {code} > > On 1/25/13 3:59 PM, "max.sammie" wrote: > > > > > > > I am using SWFLoader to nest an swf inside of my main flex application. > > I need the nested swf to access a different location than that of the parent > swf. > > For example: > > /parent.swf - location of parent swf > /access/nested.swf - path of nested swf > > I load the nested swf in the mxml like so: > > mx:SWFLoader id="swfLoader" x="0" y="-10" width="800" height="400" > source="nested.swf" > > Without explicitly listing the directory location is it possible to set > something like a "base" path for SWFLoader with something like > base="/access/"?
