Hi Folks,
Have a bit of a problem. Someone wants to use Adobe Captivate to demonstrate some software (SPSS) and so been playing around and its not working when I try and upload the published flash files into site.
It looks like captivate creates a 'controller' SWF that then loads various other SWF files when needed. When I upload the controller file I can reference it './?a=xxxxx' it but then obv. isn't able to pull in the other files which it expects to be beside it on the File system (the other uploaded files being in different matrix asset subfolders). Apart from hosting the files outside of the CMS or forcefully symlinking at the file system level can anyone think of a way to make this work?

Apache is serving those file assets, so they are put in different locations. Go to the details screen of each one of those asset, and change "Allow Unrestricted" to no. This will force Matrix to serve the files, and the should be in the same location. Although this will be slower than using Apache, this is the only way I can think of to do this.
thanks - works perfectly...
