Hi,  
i’ve uploaded the swf file along with its html file and i can see this file on the site but this page carries a hyperlink, now when i press that hyperlink it doesn’t work( to go to the next page). hosting people tell me that hyperlink isn’t working cuz it’s path( c:\my documents\file.html) etc. was set on my computer. this path will work only on my computer but on hosting server this hyperlink won’t work unless i make changes in the path mentioned above. can anyone help ?  
what kind of path should i set in order for the hyperlink to work?

Thankyou.  
Peace.

place both your files in the same folder, and set the path as **…/file.html**
