```auto
/
|-main.swf
|-game
  |-game.swf
  |-assets
    |-a.jpg

```

let’s say I have a file structure like above, I have game.swf loads resource by relative path like “assets/a.jpg”. It runs fine on its own.  
But when I try to load game.swf from main.swf (using relative path again “game/game.swf”) it tries to find a.jpg from “/assets/a.jpg” instead of “/game/assets/a.jpg”  
that was a big surprise to me ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/3383/cad202393927512d.gif)  
do any of you have the same problem~? is there any way to fix it~?

please help~~
