Are you working in one domain (sandbox) ? I so, then probably you need to fix the relative path. If your swf is stored in some folder ie: http://www.mydomain.co.uk/banner/flash/MY.SWF
and it needs to load the image from: http://www.mydomain.co.uk/banner/flash/uploadedimage/45/sunset.jpg You can pass to getURL() (or whatever you use for loading) a value: "uploadedimage/45/sunset.jpg" ... just the way it already like it works for you 1) If you need the absolute URL then you can use: var myURL:String = _root._url Its value will be: http://www.mydomain.co.uk/banner/flash/MY.SWF (only when on-line) 2) Next, cut off the swf file: myURL = myURL.substr(0,myURL.lastIndexOf("/")) trace(myURL); // outputs: http://www.mydomain.co.uk/banner/flash/ 3) ...and add you relative path: myURL += "uploadedimage/45/sunset.jpg"; If you SWF is not in a folder directly above the JPG, then you can cut off more directories in point 2) g 29 06 2008 (11:11:50) wrote: SJM> Hi Guys SJM> My question; Is it possible in an XML file, to have an absolute SJM> link to an image ie. /banner/flash/uploadedimage/45/sunset.jpg.
