    Default Fudge found to get relative addressing into flash file URL links.

    I was trying to create a flash file for a website
    (using Xara Xtreme Pro 5) and was irritated to find that it inserts "http://" in front of whatever text you enter in the "Link to be applied to whole amimation" field.

    This was irritating as it stopped me entering a relative link, and seemed to be forcing me to enter abolute one.

    e.g.
    If my website is called "www.foo.com" and I want to use the *same* flash file in
    different locations, I might want clicking on the splash page here

    "www.foo.com/ABC/splash.html"
    "www.foo.com/DEF/splash.html"
    "www.foo.com/XYZ/splash.html"

    ...to take me respectively to here:

    "www.foo.com/ABC/index.html"
    "www.foo.com/DEF/index.html"
    "www.foo.com/XYZ/index.html"

    However, if I entered "index.html", in the Flash options ("Link to be applied to whole amimation") in XARA flash took me to a website called "http://index.html" (!)

    The solution appear to be to enter a space before the:
    "index.html"
    ...that is to say:
    " index.html"
    and this seems fool Xara into NOT inserting "http://" in front of the text that I have entered. This *seems* to allow relative addressing (in the 3 browsers that I have tried) but I think that this should really be considered a bug/mis-design of the software.
