loader_mc.load( "d:\\page1.swf"));// Load the file

I upload Index file in my site and it can't load page1.swf.

Correct answer

How can I have this swf on my machine and use the URL to access it? that is so important for me. the reason that I want to do it is that per my swf file is 10MB and I want to give an install file to my users to install the swf files on their system. now they can read the locad files fast. but if I host the swf files on server they can reas them so slowly.

For that you will have to have some web server if you are using Windows you might have IIS or you can choose free one like Apache

You will start the webserver and place the swf file on to wwwroot directory then you will be able to access it using

http://<your IP address>/page1.swf

Use following code:

var loader_mc:Loader =new Loader();

addChild( loader_mc );// Add the loader to the display list
loader_mc.load( "page1.swf"));// Load the file

Keep this in mind that you will have to upload the other swf in the same folder where your index file is.

That is not exactly possible with flash due to security restrictions.

But what you can do is host this swf on some server and access it or you can also have this swf hosted on your machine.

and use the URL to access it.

In this case your application to work properly, you might need a crossdomain  policy file.

At first when you are loading a swf why you are using absolute path?

because once you upload the swf file to server its path gets changed...

in URL request give the relative path if your swf is ion the same folder then just use the name of swf file which you want to load.

also upload the swf you want to load along with your original swf.
