I’m having a problem with file paths. I have a master SWF that uses XML to pull in my section SWFs. Everything works when I embed the master SWF, as long as it is in the same folder as the HTML page. When I try to put all the SWFs and XML into a subfolder, the browser hangs, and I get the “Do you want to abort script?” warning.

Here is my XML, pretty simple:

```auto
<accordion>
    <tab title="START" src="title.swf"/>
    <tab title="RESEARCH" src="research.swf"/>
    <tab title="PRODUCT" src="product.swf"/>
    <tab title="PLACE" src="place.swf"/>
    <tab title="PROMOTION" src="promotion.swf"/>
    <tab title="PRICE" src="price.swf"/>    
    <tab title="IMPACT" src="impact.swf"/>
</accordion>

```

It works like this:  
/index.html  
/master.swf  
/data.xml  
/other swfs

But not like this:  
/index.html  
/flash/master.swf  
/flash/data.xml  
/flash/other swfs

I need all the files in a subfolder. Any suggestions on what I need to do to get it to work that way.
