In this case, if the application is in "derbrill" and a file called "file.mpg" is in the subfolder "mpg", the relative path is mpg/file.mpg One important thing to realize is that every relative path starts at the defaultFolder. When you first start up the application, the defaultFolder is the folder that contains the application. If you are using the Revolution development environment, Revolution is the current application, so the defaultFolder is set to the Revolution folder. But if you create a standalone, the standalone is the current application, so the defaultFolder is set to the folder the standalone is in. The relative path I give above is for use with a standalone. (If you change the defaultFolder property in a script of your application, of course you must take this into account also.) I mention this because people often become confused: the defaultFolder location is in one place (the Revolution folder) during development, and in another place (the application folder) after building the standalone. -- Jeanne A.
