hi just wondering if any body knows how to root one main swf (alias) to its original.  
basically Iv got a swf file that is to be opened from a disc. the problem is that the alias does not root to the folder when burnt to a disc.  
any suggestions for fixxing this. Iv tried to reset targets but there are hundreds and this would be crazy. is there any way around this??

eg loadMovie(“Loadings/shirtmaker2.swf”, \_root.openin, “GET”);
