Hi
I’m new to actionscript 3 (as will become obvious!) and am a little confused. Here’s why: I’m making a little gallery and it works fine if I put all the images in the same directory as the .swf file. If however I move them to a new folder (called ‘images’) in the same directory and change the path within the script accordingly flash can’t find the images anymore. So I figure there must be something I’m doing wrong in defining the path. Here’s what this bit of the script looks like
panel_mc.P1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,image1);
function image1(event:MouseEvent):void {
[COLOR=Yellow][COLOR=Red]var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("\images\angry nell.jpg")[/COLOR];[/COLOR]
myloader.load(request);
addChild(myloader);
myloader.scaleX = .3;
myloader.scaleY = .3;
myloader.x=290;
myloader.y=35;
}
I’ve tried defining the full path to the images on my drive, but it doesn’t make any difference.
As I say if I just put the images in the same directory so that the URLRequest bit reads,
[COLOR=Red]var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("angry nell.jpg");
[COLOR=Black]
it all works fine.

Any help on this would be great.
cheers
