Also try URLs of this form
file:///C:/foo/bar/picture.png
The issue is that it's a security risk to let Flash .swf files access
local files. You'd need to explicitly tell the Flash plugin to trust the
Runway .swf. I'm not sure if it'd work, but try step 4 of
http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/wiki/Runway
but instead of click Browse for Files, paste in this URL
http://api.simile-widgets.org/runway/1.0/swf/runway.swf
