hi  
i need to know if theres a way to load an external SWF in a relative path

the only way it works if the movies are in a cd, but if it is a website the only way (that have work for me) is with absolute path

my link is like this:

on (release) {  
\_root.contents.loadMovie(“[http://www.elcolectivoguatemala.com/colectivo/images/main.swf](http://www.elcolectivoguatemala.com/colectivo/images/main.swf)”);  
}

thanks a lot! 🙂
