No, I didn't mistype, but perhaps it is not clear.   The absolute link 

will be in the HTML page which links to the swf as an embed.  BUT the 

links within the .swf would be relative... 


Like  GET URL "flash2.htm" 


flash2.htm resides in the same folder as flash1.htm, but NOT in the same 

folder with the swf [offsite].   So, the bug in IE 4.5 would cause the 

swf to  look for the flash2.htm offsite rather than back in the original 

site.
