I Have a question…

if i currently am using a mediacontrol component is there any way i can make a relative path in the **components inspector**?

* * *

for eg. instead of ||| E:\documents and settings\flash\mp3\panama.mp3 \<absolute path\>

i want something like ||| …\mp3\panama.mp3 \<relative path\>
