| I have a big problem, one that is affecting many Flash developers I have heard
about. We are making Fash assets for integrating into a much larger web
project. The site is ASP and so the URL in the browser always looks something
like www.bigsite.com/dynamicpage.asp
So since we are making hundreds of assets, we wanted to dynamically share at
runtime the common stuff like background graphics etc.
None of the shared assets show up. As I understand it, the Flash file wants to
use the URL in the browser as its absolute base URL for grabbing its imported
assets. (Of course this is the wrong URL)
I urged the site designers to try using the BASE attribute to tell Flash the
URL. Of course they hemmed and hawed. They tried using a relative URL in the
BASE and it still did not(work. Does it have to be absolute? And is there ANY
other way to get runtime sharing to work?
What do all of you do? This is a big issue that will come up again and again
for us.
thanks!
Eric
