Hi there!

I just want to inform of a problem that I'v found in the gnash player.

When playing certain swf interactive video which opens in turn other swf
videos stored in another directory I never get to play the "subfolder videos"
although if I go manually to the subfolder and then I open that file it plays
fine.

With the verbose argument i can see the following errors:

"ERROR: failed to open 'file:///tmp/foo\bar.swf'; can't create movie
ERROR: Couldn't load library movie 'file:///tmp/foo\bar.swf'
"

In first sight I saw that actually the folder in which the videos were stored
was named "FOO" and not "foo"...

So it seems to me that obviously there's a path misunderstanding between the
UNIX style and the windows style for which the video was originally made.

I can rename the folder easy enough to "foo" (with non capital letters), but
the concatenation of the path is made with the windows backslash path
separator character.. and thus the file is not found...

I don't know if that's a problem of the swf file itself, that was poorly
created and has the paths hard-coded or where the source of the problem lies,
but anyway I think it should be pretty easy for you to solve that "bug" by
considering that scenario and treating it appropriately.

Sorry for my bad English and thanks for all your efforts.
