I have a text file for the newsloader, its all set, in the folder i use for all my flash files. C://MyDocuments/Flash/mytextfile.txt… i cant get the path set right for this tutorial for some reason, the one in your flash, special effects portion…new bullet flasher, please help.
If the TXT and SWF files are in the same directory, you could simply put the name of the TXT file.
Anyway, if you still want to use the absolute path… paste this code in the frame actions and test the movie, the absolute path will show up in the Output Window:
[AS]trace(unescape(this._url.substr(0, this._url.lastIndexOf("/")+1)));[/AS]
