This is kind of a complicated problem (and really specific), and I haven't been able to find a solution anywhere else. Help me Obi-wan. You're my only hope.
So here it goes.
We made some animated docs in InDesign to put up on the web, and output them as swf files. Since we have audio in them, InDesign creates the resources folder, and that folder has to follow the swf wherever it goes. We also checked the box to include HTML, so now we have three files – swf, resources, and html.
The problem is that we use a Content Management System for our website, so we are not able to simply ftp the files onto our site. We have to upload them individually, and the CMS will not let us store all three files in the same place. We can keep the swf and resources in the same folder, but not the html (the htmls are one or two folders up).
We were hoping that we can just tell the html to pull the swf from a different spot (this has worked with other swfs not made in InDesign – made in a proprietary program). So we tried to go into the html file and changed the code for AC_FL_RunContent. We changed
'movie', 'sample'
to
movie', 'server/newpath/sample'
This does bring up the swf, but there is no sound. It pulls up the swf, but the swf does not pull the sounds from the resources folder (even though they are in the same folder on the server).
What's going on? Is there another part of the html we can change to make this work? Or is there any other workaround for not having all three pieces in the same folder?
Any help is much appreciated.
