Using the relative path ../elements/video_l7c2_mi/movieTRT.txt from the movie player flash(es) worked for the CD version of the course. It doesn't work on the web (neither video player flash). And neither of them work in Firefox or IE. Everything else that has a relative path from a cgi-bin directory works great, just not the video player.

The video player, when run from the kineticlearning site form this URL:
http://209.98.51.2/hls9/cgi-bin/webplus.exe?script=/hls9/dhp/moreinfo_view.wml&moreInfoID=82&ChallengeID=3427
attempts to open the video from:
http://209.98.51.2/elements/video_l7c2_mi/movieTRT.txt

However, when run from this URL:
http://209.98.51.2/hls9/elements/e3495.swf
It works:
http://209.98.51.2/hls9/elements/video_l7c2_mi/movieTRT.txt
http://209.98.51.2/hls9/elements/video_l7c2_mi/movie.flv

So, something is screwy. When run from the same levels deep in cgi-bin it computes wrong the path. So I created this hack to make it work. Dump the video files where it wrongly expects to find them, in /elements. This will make it so we can have the same SWF files running both the web and CD versions of the course.

Basically, either the flash doesn't think it is in the /hls9/cgi-bin directory where .. would take it to /hls9. The flash must have some hack in it which looks for webplus.exe, cgi-bin, or something and behaves differently.

Also, it appears some flashes, like the opening book flash, does the same thing.
