Load the resources of a game that is not in the same folder as awayfl

[Stefannag]

Hi,

How to set a base for the assets of a game? For example, the awayfl is located in the '/emulators/awaylf' folder, and the game is located in 'games/arandomgame/game.swf'. In the game folder, we have some assets like 'games/arandomgame/assets/sound.swf'.

If in awayfl I enter the path of the game.swf, I will get an error 404 telling me that the emulator didn't find the sound.swf in the 'emulators/awayfl/assets' folder. But that file is located in the game path, not awayfl path.

How can I specify the base path for the game/assets?

You should use AWAY.Player manual for this case.

There are a some rules in Loader class:

https://github.com/awayfl/playerglobal/blob/dev/lib/display/Loader.ts#L506

https://github.com/awayfl/away-player-embed/blob/master/src/runtime.ts#L25

that can passed to runtime manually follow rule structure:

https://github.com/awayfl/swf-loader/blob/dev/lib/redirectResolver.ts#L10

as redirects field in constructor config:

https://github.com/awayfl/swf-loader/blob/ce7e8aa1a095e66046b9a819c560c15474650c44/lib/AVMStage.ts#L421

this means than you should call:

const player = new AWAYFL.player(containerNode, {
   redirects: [
        test: ( url ) => url && url.contains('*.swf'),
        resolve: (url ) => 'games/arandomgame/assets/' + url.substring( url.lastIndexOf('/'))
   ]
}) ;

This will redirect any url's of nested resources by specific rule, because sometimes SWF has absolute path, or try load from hardcoded url.

You can use embed template and replace all configuration and runtime pathes
