basic flash question

calling a flash component located in the root directory

[mossimo]

Anyone know how to call a flash component located in the root directory when the flash code is in a page several folder down.

EXAMPLE:

<embed name="nav_bar" src="nav_bar.swf" ect...>
or
<embed name="nav_bar" src="http://www.#.com/nav_bar.swf" ect...>
These don’t work.

You would think by giving the full path it could find it but it can't, there must be a simple answer that I am missing

It should work. You may have a problem with the tag itself. What does the whole tag look like?

What about navigating up the directories using ../

i.e:

<embed name="nav_bar" src="../../nav_bar.swf" ect...>

That's it Stretch

I feel stupid I didn't even try this, why i don't know but it works.

Thanks all :)
