[SWFObject] Replacements for ../ and BASE attribute?

[Sam Holland]

Dan,

This doesn't sound like a SWFObject problem at all. If your file's two
directories down, wouldn't you need to use the address
"../../flash_file.swf"?

It might be worth it to go through and change all the addresses from
relative to absolute, ie. instead of referencing
"../../flash_file.swf", try "/dir1/dir2/flash_file.swf" where the
first slash is the html/www directory of your webserver.
