flash (macromedia): No. The local root is the location of the files on your local computer.
Like myComputer/myFlashfiles/myHomePage.

The remote directory is where you put the files when you publish them on
the internet web server.

You have to set this up because the path to a file is how any computer
locates the the file. When you use a local root, Flash knows that the path
is just for you to work with the files on your computer. It removes all
myComputer/myFlashfiles/myHomePage stuff when you upload the files to a web
server. That way, you get the correct path for viewers from the internet.
