AIR app pointing to project folder when looking for included swf files instead of installed folder

The application descriptor file has <content>menu.swf</content> which should mean that it will look in the installed folder for this file but instead points back to the project folder to get this file.  I am going crazy.  I have used IntelliJ and command line adt commands to try and build this project and it keeps pointing to the wrong location.  It is a relative path so I don't know what else I can do.

adt -package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore project.p12 -target native gameInstaller.exe game-app.xml -C Z:\Projects\games\testGame\bin menu.swf game1.swf game2.swf game3.swf
