I have a problem with relative addressing… it’s not about \_root stuff, but how to open an html page from a Flash movie.

The Flash movie is inside a Folder named “Dogs”. And the html document is outside this folder, sitting in the main folder for the site.  
Usually if I call a movie from inside a folder I put a slash  
eg. getUrl(“dogs/intro”, “window”)  
but i want to go in the opposite direction, from inside this folder to a file outside… does that make sense?

thanks
