Hi

Im creating my site with a friendly url structure. Ive just about got it sorted and I realised that I needed to pin all images and css sheets to the root path which isnt a problem but when I load the page all graphic and css is fine but flash just doesnt want to load. If the page has the structure of www.site.com/thepage.php then the flash will load but if at any point there is anything added, even just a slash (/) then flash refuses to load.

Ive tried even changing the paths to the full http:// path but still it will not work if any friendly url is thrown in;

www.site.com/thepage.php (flash works)
www.site.com/thepage.php/ (flash fails)
www.site.com/thepage.php/category (flash fails)
www.site.com/thepage.php/category/ (flash fails)

PS I will be removing the .php eventually but at the moment the editor I use wont highlight my php code without the extension on. Its on my todo list

Thanks

I dont understand what this has to do with php to be honest. It should really be in the Web servers forum since it seems to be to do with the .htaccess and mod_rewrite rather than php. A mod will move it with a bit of luck

Thanks Jay6390

BTW: The reason I posted it on .php is because Im looking for a php solution since my code is using php to write the friendly urls. If I posted it in the flash boards the solution would be- well dont put a "/" at the end of the address or even...whats PHP? this is a flash board. Im often confussed as to where I should post my topics because there isnt 1 topic that I need to cover its usually an issue with javascript thats created by php which comes from sql so Im now just going to the place where the most knowledge is, which is here. I dont want to get off topic....

I cant understand why I would need to write a mod_rewrite to correct the path of a flash file since the flash file is the only object on the page that doesnt work. Grx and CSS files all work from the same path as the flash. Im sure that someone on here has used the friendly url approach and found the same issues Im having with flash??

Thanks

Yeah, this belongs in "Web servers".

Anyway, it's probably one of the common mistakes people do when working with rewritten URLs. If you add a slash to the end, the browser treats the file as a sub directory of the directory where you're currently in. So your paths are probably incorrect now. Try using absolute paths instead. (Or go one back "../dir/")

[SOLVED]

I went back through my code and missed the path update on

HTML Code:

<script src="[PATH]/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Doh!

It now works fine with or without / at the end might I add!
