[Extendflash] path to folder containing FLA

[Barbara Snyder]

On Windows, I had to change the line as follows:

	var path = docPath.substr(0,docPath.lastIndexOf('\\')); 

But it did work.

	C:\Documents and Settings\Barbara Business\My Documents\test.fla

became

	C:\Documents and Settings\Barbara Business\My Documents



This command (from another email) also worked 

	document.path.substr (0, document.path.indexOf(document.name));

and returned

	C:\Documents and Settings\Barbara Business\My Documents\

I haven't tried this for JSFL but it should work:

var path = docPath.substr(0,docPath.lastIndexOf('/'));

This will return the path without an ending /.

Hi all,

after an unsuccessful struggle with regular expressions, I am turning to
the list for help with retrieving the path to the folder that contains
the FLA file of the current document. Basicalliy document.path minus
/document.name.

Thanks for any help!
