I've found that you can't use dynamic paths, as you normally would with
Flash. You have to feed it the full file path. Here's what I use:
----------------------
on mSetCommunicatorPath me
rootPath = the moviePath
if (the platform contains "win") then
repeat while offset("\", rootPath) > 0
put "/" into rootPath.char[offset("\", rootPath)]
end repeat
else
repeat while offset(":", rootPath) > 0
put "/" into rootPath.char[offset(":", rootPath)]
end repeat
rootPath = "file:///" & rootPath
end if
pFlashConnector.communicator.mSetRootFilePath(rootPath)
end
----------------------
mSetRootFilePath(rootPath) is just a method in the Flash sprite which
stores the root path. You can then tack your relative paths to that,
and Flash should be able to find your media.

I'm having problems with a swf sprite that links to external files.
Dir MX w/ Flash 8 - Tested on mac and windows
The swf file reads an external xml file an dynamically loads png
files and other swf files.
On windows the xml reads fine; as do the linked swf files .... the
png's do not.
On mac - neither the swf's nor png's show.
Has anyone else worked with swf spirits with links to external media?
Thanks for any clues.
