Hello,

I have created a flash movie, which I have imported into a Dreamweaver template. The SWF movie is in an ‘images/footer/’ directory, and there are web pages in a directory ‘main/submain/’ for example, but web pages in the ‘submain’ directory, which are linking to the SWF movie displays a blank movie - ‘movie not loading’. Is there some kind of limitation as to how many directories you can link through?

…/images/footer/movie.swf (this seems to work)

…/…/images/footer/movie.swf (this DOESN’T seem to work)

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Maxim.
