although i have had much help on the subject i am still confounded...here is the complete problem:
1. i am making a flash site to go out on a cd as a PR job
2. i want a link on the site to go to a .avi that i have on the disk
3. ALL FILES ARE IN LOCAL DIRECTORIES (NOT HTTP://)
4. as it is on the cd it is not possible to have an absolute path defined (an absolute path does work and brings up media player with the .avi playing so i know it should work)
5. the question!
.....i need to specify a base url for the files....i have been given this code to try
basepath = _URL;
but i don't know how to impliment it
after it has been implimented i will need to know how to use it or references to it to navigate using relative links
if anyone cn tell me in lay-mans terms or knows of a website that will be able to then i will be most greatful to once and for all clear it up
although the help from Jesse and Andy has been inspiring and given a direction it hasn't cleared it up (sorry)
