hi!

i’m a little stuck part way through a major project at work.  
i am making a cd rom, where the main root menu links to swf’s inside 8 folders.

my scripting to link into the folders works fine, eg:

[COLOR=red]on (release) {  
loadMovieNum(“folder1/main.swf”, 0);  
}[/COLOR]

and linking back out works fine too, eg:

[COLOR=red]on (release) {  
loadMovieNum(“index.swf”, 0);  
}[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#ff0000][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black]the problem is that when inside a folder - none of the navigation contained therein is working. i think this is because Flash is trying to find those links back outside in the root folder. is there any way - besides renaming every link inside the folders - to point to links within the folder? some actionscipt fix?[/COLOR]
