have you tried using :  
on (release) {  
this.fung\_mc.loadMovie(“example\sun.swf”);  
}  
Never tried this myself , but seems logical.

Just a thought, but I always use a ‘/’ instead of a ‘’. I’m not sure if it makes a difference or not, you might want to try.

try this.

on (release) {  
this.fung\_mc.loadMovie("…/sun.swf");  
}

I think …/ will take you back a folder.

ya it make a different in “/” and ""  
using your method “/” it can work  
if i use the “” the [color=red]first letter[/color] in the folder will be ombited  
like example  
u load to student/sence/basic  
if use ""  
u get error report saying u load to  
student[color=red]ence\asic[/color]
