Question

I have the following javascript to embed a flash in my page.tpl.php

                         <script type="text/javascript">
                            <!--
                            var flashvars = {
                                xmlUrl: "xml/banner.xml"    //Use to change XML filename or location
                            };
                            var params = {
                                scale: "noscale",
                                menu: "false",
                                bgcolor: "#666666"
                            };
                            var attributes = {
                                id: "banner_swf",
                                name: "banner_swf"
                            };
                            swfobject.embedSWF("banner.swf", "banner_div", "873", "300", "4", "swfobject/expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
                            //-->
                        </script>

The problem, now all the xml and swf file referred in that script is under ‘rotator’ directory inside my ‘customtheme’ directory. How should I change the paths?

Thank you for the help!

I checked with the flash author, and they asked me to add base: parameter in var params to specify the base folder where I can find all the flash files. At the end, here is what I did to make it work in drupal.

                            <script type="text/javascript">
                            <!--
                            var flashvars = {
                                //xmlUrl: "path/to/xml/filename.xml"    //Use to change XML filename or location
                            };
                            var params = {
                                base: "<?php print $base_path.$directory."/" ?>rotator/",
                                scale: "noscale",
                                menu: "false",
                                bgcolor: "#666666"
                            };
                            var attributes = {
                                id: "banner_swf",
                                name: "banner_swf"
                            };
                            swfobject.embedSWF("<?php print $base_path.$directory."/" ?>rotator/banner.swf", "banner_div", "876", "300", "4", "swfobject/expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
                            //-->
                        </script>
