Re: [Flashcoders] ActionScript equivalent of embed/object BASE tag
Unfortunately _lockroot doesn't fix the path problem. Even if the _root is being changed through _lockroot, the base path is still the one of the wrapping SWF.

Re: [Flashcoders] ActionScript equivalent of embed/object BASE tag
You could do it manually. Create a variable and prepend(not a word!) it to all your loadMovie(), load() etc. calls. damn, i always thought prepend was a real word. anyway, I dont know of a way to set the BASE tag in actionscript, and this sounds like the solution i would go with. PREPEND all your calls with a variable so they would look like xml.load(baseURL+myfile.xml)...this way if the baseURL variable doesn't exist, the call will still work. Then, if you wanted to, you could pass in the baseURL value through flashvars or something, so you wouldnt have to recompile whenever you wanted to change it.

Re: [Flashcoders] ActionScript equivalent of embed/object BASE tag
The beginning or to add to the beginning. To prefix a header onto a packet means to place the header characters in front of the packet. To prefix is the opposite of to append characters at the end. As a verb, prefix is not English. The correct word is prepend, but computer people are notorious for turning any English word into a computer term. http://computing-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/prefix On 2/3/06, Rich Rodecker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You could do it manually.
