Problem with setBasePath... lost whole day

[selimhanov]

Hi,
I've tried everything, but still haven't found the way to make this script work. I have a function in my Flash like....

function playIt(file){
	snd=new Sound();
	snd.load(urlReq);
	snd.play();
}
playIt('some.mp3');

Everything works fine if I attach 'some.mp3' to myApp.exe . But when I want to change the directory with setBasePath... it just doesn't want to work. I've tried everything, this...

Application.setBasePath(getAppDir());

and this...

Application.setBasePath(getAppDir()+'\\');

even this...

Application.setBasePath(Folder(getAppDir()).path);

... but it doesn't work. To say nothing about trying what I really need, it's

Application.setBasePath(Shell.getSpecialFolder('appdata'));

The only thing works fine is...

Application.setBasePath('C:\\');

And if I place 'some.mp3' to C: drive. What can be the reason?

Thanks in advance.

Ok. I finally got it. The problem is setBasePath and foreign language names of folders. I have no idea what to do now... as it is impossible to fix it.

The method doesn't work if the base path contains some special characters. It's a problem of the Flash Player, so there is nothing we can do. A solution is to use absolute path names.
