We try to fix up relative paths in Image and SWFLoader in order to handle more complicated scenarios. URLLoader doesn't, so that may be the difference.

These live in assets/images/*.jpg asets/videos/*.flv assets/presentation.xml and are referred to exactly as above. When this applciation is to be used in the "wild" it will be played with an exe file created with flash (so we don't have to rely on flash player being on end users computer). This exe loads the swf as follows: assets/presentation.swf So the way I thought it woudl work is that the images and video folders and the xml file would all go in the assets folder. Presentation.swf is fine loading presentation.xml from assets but for some reason it does not find the images and videos so they have to go in assets/assets/images. why would the root folder for the xml be the exe folder but the root folder for the images and vides be the swf folder?
