Few facts first:
1. I can only use ActionScript 2.
2. All files are within the same domain (i.e "http://www.example.com").
I have a loader SWF which acts as a selection tool ("auto_magic.swf") located at "/" in the website (the root folder).
A User selects the tool he needs (it's a mechanical diagnostic system) and the main movie loads it (currently I use loadMovie() - suggest else if needed).
That tool is located at "/tools/[tools_name]/tool_main.swf".
Now, the "tool_main.swf" is loading just fine.
The problem is that "tool_main.swf" needs to load other files located in its folder, so for example it tries to load "config.xml", BUT Flash isn't looking for "config.xml" in the tool's dedicated folder - instead it's looking for this file at the root folder "/" where "auto_magic.swf" is located, probably because the movie's main swf is coming from there.
To make it even worst I cannot modify the tool's SWF ("tool_main.swf") because it's coming from a third party.
Is there any solution? As far as I see this I need one of these solutions;
1. Be able to set the base url of the loaded swf.
2. *Change* the whole movie's base url at run-time because it needs to load several tools from different folders.
Trying to solve this for several good hours. Help will be highly appriciated!
