Muzak is correct. Flash will place the embed/object tag inside a bit of
code, like this:

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="2.swf"> ...
<EMBED src="2.swf" ...

so even if you placed a path before the variable names $PO and $PE, it would
just mess everything up..
you would have a path outside of the code:

flash/<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="2.swf"> ...
flash/<EMBED src="2.swf" ...

and you need the path inside the first "

Maybe JD knows the way to set this.
If not, then you can always use the Find&Replace tool in a text editor,
which is probably what your doing now.

Actually the $PO and $PE are the object and embed parameters - including the
path - that are filled in when you Publish your movie.
So specifying an extra path/source parameter will probably screw up the
whole code.
