Hey,

I’m having issues with embedding SWFs from a parent folder e.g. trying to load example.swf:

FDK:

```auto
"src", "../example"

```

SWFObject

```auto
var so = new SWFObject("../example.swf", ...)

```

I’ve tried using absolute paths on my web server but no luck.

Also, I can’t get deeplinking / FlashVars to work in SWFObject e.g.:

```auto
so.addVariable("link", "foo")

```

Any help appreciated!
