Flex loading relative to application root?

Hi all,

I’m working locally on a Flex app and struggling with relative paths.

My application has a xml folder at the root level in which all my config files are stored. Now if I load an xml file, say xml/config.xml, I have to declare the path as …/xml/config.xml because it’s relative to the src folder. When I deploy the app the path will be different of course but I don’t want to have to keep changing the path I just want to load files relative to the server root, i.e. /xml/config.xml - how do I do this for it to work both locally and on the webserver? I guess one way would be to have my xml directory inside the src folder but that seems klunky.

Many thanks
Lar
