Flash MX: Need to get the working directory of my flash movie.

I need to be able to run this on many different file systems and can't use absolute paths.

How do I get the directory my swf is running in?

Thank you.

Hey I just found out it was because of the way I was loading the swf files. They were being loaded by an exe compiled by screenweaver - and the way screenweaver loads a swf file - it puts it into a windows tmp dir and loads it from there - so all the relative dirs within the program wont run because they don't actually read from the exe's folder path, but the swf tmp path - how annoying is that lol...

Anyways - I figured out what I need to do.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
