SWFObject - How to embed SWF in a different folder to the html?

    <div id="flashContent">
        <h1>You need at least Flash Player 9.0 to view this page.</h1>
        <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" /></a></p>
    </div>

    <script type="text/javascript">
        //Dynamic publishing with swfObject 

        //A 'name' attribute with the same value as the 'id' is REQUIRED for Chrome/Mozilla browsers
        var flashvars = {};
        var params = {"base": "../flashgame_new/"};
        var attributes = {id: "iTag", name: "iTag"};
        swfobject.embedSWF("flashgame.swf", "flashgame", "720", "610", "9.0", null, flashvars, params, attributes);
    </script>

The html file's in the root.
It's trying to load 'iTag.swf' in '/iTag_FLASH_new/'
I tried entering the path in the swfURL parameter - embedSWF("/iTag_FLASH_new/iTag.swf" - and that didn't work, the file doesn't load
Some Googling told me it's because I had to specify the path by changing the base path as above - this doesn't work either, the file still doesn't load.

I'm probably just making a really daft mistake because I'm tired, but anyone got any suggestions? Cheers.

Solution

You don't need to specify the "base" tag, you can specify it as part of embedSWF.

by your information: the page is at: (http://blah/whatever.html) and the flash is at: (http://blah/iTag_FLASH_new/iTag.swf)

I would make sure the path the the swf loads correctly by going to it directly in the browser...

if your page is at: (http://blah/somedirectory/whatever.html) and the flash is at (http://blah/somedirectory/iTag_FLASH_new/iTag.swf)

you need to specify the path as "iTag_FLASH_new/iTag.swf", note the lack of slash.
