ShockFiler accepts a relative path syntax to specify a local file to send or save. In authoring and projectors the path is relative to the movie's path. This is true for all projectors, whether or not the projector safemode property is turned on via Lingo. In Shockwave, the path is relative to folder DSWMEDIA in the Shockwave support folder. ShockFiler relative path's start with @ and use either "\" or ":" to separate directory names.

Examples:

If the path to the movie is:

C:\Project\themovie.dir

this relative path:

@image.jpg

Creates a file at these locations:

Projector

C:\Project\image.jpg

Shockwave

C:\Windows\System\Macromed\Shockwave\DSWMEDIA\image.jpg

If the path to the movie is:

Macintosh HD:Project:themovie.dir

this relative path:

@Pictures:Subfolder:image.jpg

Creates a file at these locations:

Projector

Macintosh HD:Project:Pictures:Subfolder:image.jpg

Shockwave

Macintosh HD:System:Extensions:Macromedia:Shockwave:DSWMEDIA:Pictures:Subfolder:image.jpg
