Content path of Image Loader

[milan1]

I created a loader for thumbnails in my flash document, I was wondering...is there a way to code the loader so that it can pull up the images from folders, because the only way it works is if the images are in the same folder as the .swf where the loader is??

or if anyone has a better solution, please inform me. Thank you.

You should be able to load images from a folder. Just adjust the path to the files.

no i tried that already, it gives me an error message when the movie runs, saying it error in opening file:

Error opening URL "file:///

and this is the script i used so there's nothing wrong with it

on (release) {
_root.myLoader.contentPath = "001.jpg"
}

Looks like you're using Loader component.

I just did a quick test and both of these worked fine.

myLoader.contentPath = "folder/something.jpg";
(folder is in the same directory as SWF)

myLoader.contentPath = "../folder/something.jpg";
(folder is not in the same directory as SWF)

Are you trying to open a local folder?
