I just finished what I thought was a simple flash file. When I run it using ctrl-Enter it works fine. If I try to run the published .swf file it pops up a window that says it cannot fine an old published flash .exe file in a different directory.
How are these files linked and how can I break the link.
Thanks,
Russ

Well from reading your post, I would say that somewhere in your code there is a link to the EXE file. Find that line of code and comment it out or make sure the exe file is in the same directory as the swf.

Thanks for the reply. That was my original thought. Actually I thought maybe that I had copied a component. I have searched the code and and components and deleted anything suspicious and the result is still the same.

This is real interesting though and may make my original question moot but when I call the swf from a HTML page it works like it should. It is just when I double click the file from explorer that it asks for the other file. Real strange.
