Hi all,

I might get my explanation wrong but here goes.

I’m currently building a website with each section of the site been in a new directory i.e root has the index.php in it, then theres seperate folder holding the portfolio section.

but my problem i’m using a ‘php include’ to call the flash into the page (so any problems just have to change my header once). But when i include the flash file on the second level the links in the flash nav don’t work becasuse it thinks its in the second level of folders. So is their a way with flash or php that what ever level the flash is on it believes its on the first level.

\*maybe this is more a php question

sorry if this makes no sense.

cheers
