How to target an external file located up one level

programming flash
1

Hi,

Last night I was trying to upload an external .txt file which is located up one level from my .fla file but I couldn’t make it work, this is what I have…

This code works just fine if I put my external .txt file in the same folder as my
.fla

var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“MaterialRef.txt”);

but when I try something like… where the .txt file now is in a folder called “Materials” which is located up one level, it just doesn’t work.

var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“…/Materials/MaterialRef.txt”);

Can someone be so kind and show me the proper way to do this?

Thanks a lot
