from help (loadMovie):  
"_url_…A relative path must be relative to the SWF file at level 0. "

suppose I have this file:  
folder/main.swf  
folder/subfolder/loadme.swf  
folder/subfolder/image.jpg

in main.swf:

```auto

mc.loadMovie("subfolder/loadme.swf")

```

in loadme.swf:

```auto
 
image_mc.loadMovie("image.jpg")

```

loadme.swf works fine, but when main.swf try to load it, it look for image.jpg in “folder” so nothing is displayed…

Same problem with loadMovieNum and LoadVars…

I have a container movie that display many works of mine placed in subfolders. Lot of them also load image or variables from external file and it would be impossible for me to make all path absolute.

Is there a solution?
