try setting the base param like this
var param = {};
param.base = '/videos'; // crucial that you leave the trailing slash out NO
TRAILING SLASH HERE!!I don't know of any specific resources about the base param - but it specifies th where you flash movie is loading assets from etc by defailt it is ./ which is the same directory - when you in flash authoring the base is where your movie i; but your page referencing the movie is likely to not be in the same directory setting (the default base param when referancing from a page is still ./ but your relative position is now different and paths may need adjusting) the base param will remedy this for you (perhaps will cause you some short term pain; but the long run will be less head ache) you could try the kirupa forums or gotoandlearn forums; I think this *should* resolve your issue hth - S 2009/8/14 Tony <[email protected]> > > Thanks for the quick reply.
