RE: [Flashcoders] swf paths...
Here's another version:
var str:String = "http://www.yourDomain.com/dir1/dir2/dir3/preloader.swf";;
var intFirst:int = str.indexOf(".com/") +5;
var intLast:int = str.lastIndexOf("/")+1;
var intPathLen:int = intLast - intFirst;
//
var serverName:String = str.substr( 0, intFirst );
var directoryPath:String = str.substr( intFirst, intPathLen );
var fileName:String = str.substr( intLast );
//
trace( "serverName: "+serverName, "\ndirectoryPath: "+directoryPath,
"\nfileName: "+fileName );

Bob

Thanks for the replies. I'll be looking into both.
kind of been playing around with this as well:
str = _url;
slash = str.lastIndexOf("/");
str = str.substring(slash+1, str.length);
dot = str.lastIndexOf(".");
filename = str.substring(0, dot);
directoryLocation = _url.split(filename + ".swf").join("");
and setting it to frame 1.

Re: [Flashcoders] swf paths...
Thanks for the replies. I'll be looking into both.
kind of been playing around with this as well:
str = _url;
slash = str.lastIndexOf("/");
str = str.substring(slash+1, str.length);
dot = str.lastIndexOf(".");
filename = str.substring(0, dot);
directoryLocation = _url.split(filename + ".swf").join("");
and setting it to frame 1.

RE: [Flashcoders] swf paths...
Hi Maurice, How about sending it in as a URL variable when you load preloader.swf into the html page? In the HTML: ... Then in preloader.swf: var ojtParams:Object = this.loaderInfo.parameters; var swfPath:String = ojtParams.path; hth, Bob -Original Message- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of maurice sallave Sent: Wednesday, June 03, 2009 1:30 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] swf paths... Hello! First time on here, so thanks for any advice. I'm pulling in a preloader.swf file into an html file that sits at root "swf/preloader.swf". All my swf's are located in a swf directory that gets preloaded into this preloader.swf - simple enough. I'd like to try to keep my server as clean as possible without having to hard-code the path into the preloader.swf file and don't want to use flashvars as a way of referencing my targeted path.

Re: [Flashcoders] swf paths...
Hi Maurice,
Check out the "base" attribute for the object / embed tag (you can also
define it with SwfObject and similar scripts for embedding swfs):
base - . or *[base directory]* or *[URL]*. Specifies the base directory or
URL used to resolve all relative path statements in the Flash Player movie.
This attribute is helpful when your Flash Player movies are kept in a
different directory from your other files.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/127/tn_12701.html
Set it to "swf" and it should work without needing to hard code paths. I
think you can also do this: loadSomethig("../xml/some.xml") if, for
instance, you have an "xml" folder at the same level as "swf".
Cheers
