We have a client that is using Articulate 1.2 to produce SWF files to upload to their website. Rather than use the story.html we are embedding the SWF file within our own page so that we can check that the user accessing the SWF has an account on the website.
The website is able to load the story.swf file without problem but is unable to load story_content/data.swf as story.swf is loading it from a relative path. I've tried setting an absolute URL for flashdata within the meta.xml file with no success. Is there anyway to pass an absolute URL for data.swf to story.swf?
I'm glad that Phil and Nishan have been able to assist you here, and if you need anything else please let us know. Also, Nishan welcome to the Heroes community!

I believe this is hard coded into the swf file, could you not insert n iframe and load the story.html file
Using the "base" parameter will solve the problem
Example
<object classid="clsid
27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="712" height="614" title="The Storyline Example">
<param name="movie" value="../foldername/StoryOutput/story.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="base" value="../foldername/StoryOutput/ " />
<embed src="../foldername/StoryOutput/story.swf" quality="high" wmode="opaque" base="../foldername/StoryOutput/" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="712" height="614"></embed>
</object>
Hope this can help
