Looks like you are right about needing the full path - I guess it's a security thing. &nbsp; You could try something with fscommand(&quot;exec&quot; ... I guess.

Hi There,<br />
<br />
I've a flashmovie in which I want to use a button with a relative path to open a document.<br />
I've tried the following:<br />
<br />
on(release)<br />
{getURL(&quot;../Glossary/Gloss<wbr />ary1.html&quot;<wbr />,&quot;_blank&quot;)<wbr />;}<br />
<br />
This works fine when I publish my FLA file to HTML but it doesn't work when I publish it to SWF.<br />
<br />
Perhaps this is because the function is getURL and the relative path isn't an standard URL like <a href="http://" rel="ugc nofollow">http://</a>.<br />
When I change the relative path to:<br />
<br />
on(release)<br />
{getURL(&quot;<a href="http://www.google.com" rel="ugc">http://www.google.com</a>&quot;,&quot;_blank&quot;);}<br />
<br />
it works fine in HTML and SWF.<br />
<br />
I need to work with relative paths in mij SWF file. Any Ideas? Perhaps an alternative method for get URL???<br />
<br />
Thanx in advance!<br />
<br />

Alternative for GetURL function

Adobe Flash (formerly Macromedia Flash) is a cross-platform multimedia and software platform used to embed animations, video, and interactive applications into web pages and desktop and mobile applications and games. Flash displays text, vector and raster graphics to provide animations, video games and applications. It allows streaming of audio and video, and can capture mouse, keyboard, microphone and camera input. The ActionScript programming language allows creation of interactive animations, video games, web applications, desktop applications and mobile applications.
