Flash courses not loading external SWFs using loadMovie

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have courses made entirely using flash and some parts of the course layout, 
like the top, bottom and navigation, are external swfs that are loaded using 
the loadMovie function from flash.

There is a main swf file that loads all other swfs and compose the layout and 
navigation. When I add the course and the extra files to the moodle course and 
then add then to the course using the module, the external swfs are not loaded.

I am using moodle 1.9.10 and the course was made in flash 8 (action script 2).

The course works fine locally. Everything is loaded. I have created a folder on 
the server and added the courses there. If I access the course throught the 
url, it works.

Thank you!

Leonardo

Unfortunately, I can only answer questions related to AS 3.0 applications.

The problem that you're experiencing is a common one, in that it's a relative 
paths issue. Once you understand that paths are relative to the web page where 
the Flash app is embedded, i.e. moodle/mod/swf/view.php, finding the solution 
should be relatively easy.
