Specifying relative path to shockwave flash object

Specifying relative path to shockwave flash object

While playing the .SWF file in windows forms as below, I noticed that it
doesn't takes any relative paths.
What is done below is that each time the PlayVideo Form Dialog opens it
loads a new video which I was tracking using a global variable:
GlobalVariablesTracking.videoTrack and incremented it after successfully
loading a video.
private void PlayVideo_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CurrentVideoKey = GlobalVariablesTracking.videoTrack;
currentVideoName =
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[CurrentVideoKey.ToString()];
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(currentVideoName))
{
GlobalVariablesTracking.videoTrack =
GlobalVariablesTracking.videoTrack + 1;
axShockwaveFlash1.Movie = "\\Videos\\" + currentVideoName;
axShockwaveFlash1.Play();
}
}
Below are the Keys I read from App.Config
<add key="1" value="a.swf"/>
<add key="2" value="b.swf"/>
.....
The issue I encountered in the line:
axShockwaveFlash1.Movie = "\\Videos\\" + currentVideoName;
It doesn't takes relative path. If a complete absolute path is specified
as below, it works perfectly.
axShockwaveFlash1.Movie = "C:\\Videos\\" + currentVideoName;
How to get this ShockWave flash object to work with a Relative URL ?
