Hey all,  
I am creating a movie, and need to create alink to open a web page.  
My movie exists in a folder (“Flash”) and I need to move up a level(out of that folder), and into another folder, (HTML) where the page I need to open resides.

What would the path name need to be ie:  
…\HTML/default.html ???

Please help as I know I am just using the wrong slashes etc . . . .

I think youd have to use an absolute URL, so something like [www.yoursite.com/html/htmlsite.htm](http://www.yoursite.com/html/htmlsite.htm)

I believe you could test that with “file://C:/thepathtoyourfile”
