unless you tell it otherwise, flash automatically assumes all files that you
refer to in actions are held in the root folder. you should either keep
everything in your root directory, or include the address for the files in your
actionscript so it can find them.

hope this helps

Yep thanks heaps but typical enough I ended up figuring it out just after posting the thread...

Hello to all, I am a Novice to actionscript so please bare with me? Unsure
where my issue lies so I have posted this thread also in the Dreamweaver Forums.

I have a Parent SWF (Main Menu) which plays an External SWF (Extended Menu)
inside it from a button release. Works fine when testing & publishing in Flash.

The problem is when I test in HTML using Dreamweaver. I have my HTML Root
folder and from the Root folder, all images & SWF?s are stored in
?assets/images/?.
When setup like this, the Parent SWF plays inside the HTML but the External
SWF does not play inside the Parent SWF.

If I place these SWF?s in the HTML Root folder & fix source links accordingly
it works!?
Do I need to put an address in the actionscript for it to locate the External
SWF? When stored in a separate folder to theHTML files or is this a Dreamweaver
issue?

Any help greatly appreciated!
