C:\x35\media\DSC_0095.JPG [where it really ought to load from, or be able to load from.] C:\Program Files\Xerte 3.5\AirTricks\media\DSC_0095.JPG [where you guys are telling me it should load from, but it doesn’t] The relative path is media/DSC_0095.JPG If I execute C:\x35\LearningObject.swf it works fine. The application is an .mxml editor and compiler, which creates and edits mxml files, and compiles them. What I’m trying to do is load and preview the results in the application.

RE: [flexcoders] Loading Images into a loaded SWF
C:\x35\LearningObject.swf is the path. 'x35' is a folder containing the mxml file compiled by the app via fcsh. AirTricks waits for fcsh to finish, and then loads LearningObject.swf. What other params can I pass in to the swf that might help?

Re: [flexcoders] Loading Images into a loaded SWF
Just so I’m clear, you are using mx:SWFLoader and setting source=”C:\x35\learningObject.swf”? I was just checking to see if you are or aren’t specifying loadForCompatibility or loaderContext On 8/25/10 2:53 PM, Julian Tenney julian.ten...@nottingham.ac.uk wrote: C:\x35\LearningObject.swf is the path.

Once your SWF is loaded the path is relative to your Air app. Place a copy of your media folder and its contents accordingly. Regards, Keith Reinfeld Home Page: http://keithreinfeld.home.comcast.net/ http://keithreinfeld.home.comcast.net
RE: [flexcoders] Loading Images into a loaded SWF
I don't get why the path that's trying to load isn't the base of the Air application then? In ioError I get file:///media/DSC_0095.JPG file:///\\media\DSC_0095.JPG is failing to load. That's not the dir of the Air app, so are you sure that's what's going on, or have I missed anything else?
