The module installed fine, and it created the directories files/flash and files/flash/temp. However, whenever I try to preview the node, I get this error message:

* Could not display the flash because "files/files/flash/temp/sotv_teaser_6.swf" does not appear to exist.
* Could not display the flash because "files/files/flash/temp/sotv_teaser_6.swf" does not appear to exist.

It is uploading the .swf correctly, as I have tried to add "sotv_teaser.swf" several times, and it just increments the name and uploads to the files/flash/temp directory.

There is an extra "files" in the path, I've tried all different combinations in the flash node setup (default base parameter) but it seems to disregard this, and I continually end up with the above path. Even trying the override in the add flashnode page doesn't work.

I've even entered the actual directory path to this field, but I still get the error message. FYI the files path lives in portal/files ... help!!

Thanks

Sorry for the delay in getting back on this!

I have tested and yes - there is a spare "files" when you preview. Everything is fine when you submit though.

This seems to be a bug that has crept in via the use of swf_tools to handle the flash embedding. I have done a quick fix that I think cures the problem by returning only the required part of the path as part of the preview.

I have just committed this on head so when the package next updates it will be available for download if you'd like to test it.

Let me know if it works, and if it's ok I'll make this an official release.

This seemed to be a problem between SWFTools and Flashnode. It should be fixed in the new release (5.3). Marking this thread as fixed.
