loadMovie and setBasePath issue

[nagual20]

Hi,
I've read everything I could find on this forum about loading images and setting base path. Still no luck.

My SWF has an empty object named BACKGROUND
I want to load a jpg into that object. For testing purposes I have a file: C:\background.jpg

in FFish script I do:

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

In Actionscript:

BACKGROUND.loadMovie("background.jpg");

Doesn't work. Tried absolute paths, relative paths, pack movies / don't pack movies in all different combinations. No luck.

Has anyone actually figured this out or is it still a hanging issue?

Thanks for reading this.

Your flash movie doesn't know what the basepath is.
I think the setbasepath is only for swfkit actions.

To set the basepath for both flash and swfkit i mostly do this.

in a swfkit-script that is called from the first frame of my movie

Application.setBasePath("C:\\");
path = Application.getBasePath();
trace(path)
FlashPlayer.setVariable("path",path)

And in flash when I load stuff I do it like this

on (release) {
   BACKGROUND.loadMovie(path+"background.jpg");
}
