I have written a very simple flash program for very young kids. One of the programs is a matching game where the kid moves a picture up to one of three pictures that match. Someone expressed an interest in using their own images. I was wondering if it is possible to have them place pictures in a folder on their hard drive. C:/pictures as an example. The flash program that resides on the internet would then be loaded into their browser on their computer and look for the images in a folder “pictures” on their “C” drive. With the swf file on my computer I right click and open with firefox. The image is loaded from my computer. But if I put it on a server and load it into the browser from the server the picture does not appear.
pic = (“C:\pictures\p1.jpg”);
startLoading(pic);
function startLoading(pic) {
createEmptyMovieClip(“emc”, getNextHighestDepth());
loadMovie(pic, this[“emc”]);
placeImage();
}
function placeImage(){
emc._alpha = 100;
emc._x = 200;
emc._y = 200;
}
Any thoughts or possible solutions?
Thanks … Michael
