Hello,

I’ve been spending hours on that pb, i can’t figure it out, i need help!!  
I’m using idiov01 disk browser for flash as source. The only thing i don’t understand if why does JS looses the slashes when it sends to flash a location on the local hard drive…

The source can be found here…

I don’t wanna use the whole thing, i’m trying to adapt it so the upload is done by PHP via FTP. So i thought i just needed to get the path and file name back to flash which is bringing me this problem, it looses the slashes…

Please help me i’m desperate!!
