loadVariables action not working with embedded .swf

[wolfman]

I have a flash movie that uses loadVariables() to load data from a local text file. Everything works when I run it using the saflashplayer, but it does not work when I embed the movie using flashplayercontrol. Any ideas?

Thank you for your question.

When your movie tries to load from a local file, e.g. "data.txt", FlashPlayerControl searches this file:

1. In the path specified by the Base property. You can set it:

Code: Select all

FlashPlayerControl1.FlashProperty_Base = "file://" + System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath) + "\data"

2. If file not found using the Base, searches in the current directory of a process.

Place your text file near your EXE and launch EXE. loadVariable should works fine. If not, please send me the code and fla.
