Hi  
I have a question concerning the use of URLRequest

When I work on my local server, I have to put the absolute address of the file I am calling with URLRequest (the relative path doesn’t work)  
For example

```auto
urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://127.0.0.1/www/site/test/call.php");

```

Then I have to modify this address each time I upload the flash file on the production server!

Whereas I would like to just have to put something like this:

```auto
urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("call.php");

```

but then it doesn’t work in local

Do you know if it is a flash or php problem? What should I change so that my relative path works?

thanks for your help
