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>

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

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.

Try dropping the '..' and leading '/' in your base path.

var params = {"base": "iTag_FLASH_new/"};
