the base param can be used to fix this its part of the standard object/embed
stuff
swfobject supports base param in both static & dynamic methods
so for example if you directory set up is like so:
public_html/index.html <- the page embedding the swf
/flash
/img
/gallery.xml
/test.swf
and your flash when embedded in you page is not being able to load gallery
img then you should add ./flash as base param
this would fix paths that are loading files like:
/img/my.png
/gallery.xml
when they should be
/flash/img/my.png
/flash/gallery.xml
use the generator (especially if you new to flash/swfobject) enter ./flash
- use firebug or a tool that allows you to monitor http activity showing
the paths of whats loaded
