Hello - I need to distribute a web site to a client on a cross-platform Hybrid CDROM so that they can edit and make adjustments. This website also includes 2 flash videos that need to be included on the CDROM.
My problem is this: I encoded the video in the Flash Encoder app and brought them into the main Flash app for conversion into swf files. I also used the media controller parameter to add a control skin to the movies. I now have 2 swf files associated with the flv video file, and I understand that all 3 of these must stay together for the video to work properly. The video plays correctly along with the controller skin on my Mac however only the controller shows up but no video on the CDROM. I believe that this has something to do with absolute vs. relative file paths for the video flv file to the swf controller file.
I do not know how to change this path - I know “where” to change it within the controller parameter options box but do not know what syntax exactly to place here. How do you specify a relative path here? When I try to do it I get an error saying that the flv file cannot be found. I am able to specify an absolute file path from the swf to the flv and this plays the flv movie correctly from the web or if I specify the absolute path using D:\ (where D is the letter of my cd drive in Windows) however cannot get it working with a relative path. The problem with this method is that not everyone has a cd drive letter of D and I need the cdrom to be cross-platform.
I have done numerous Google searches on this subject and stil cannot find an answer, so any help is appreciated.
