I am pretty sure you can do this easily by modifying the default template that Flash uses to publish with. The Flash publishing templates are located in the folder where you installed Flash on your hard drive. Look for a folder in there called HTML. If your on a windows based PC, then you will find it in: program files/Macromedia/Flash 5/HTML/Default.html make a copy of this file before you destroy it by mistake..
edit the HTML file and scroll down till you see the standard object/embed stuff:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.ca b#version=5,0,0,0" WIDTH=$WI HEIGHT=$HE> $PO <EMBED $PE WIDTH=$WI HEIGHT=$HE TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_ Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED> </OBJECT>
I think you can type in a folder name before the flash movie name variables $PO and $PE. If it works, then you will only have to press F12 to publish and you will never need to manually fill out a folder name again.

Is it possible to tweak the default Flash HTML template to have Flash publish automatically add a directory path? We put all our Flash objects into their own "art" directory - and we copy/paste the <Object><embed> code out of the published Flash HTML page into our own custom HTML pages. We need to constantly add the "art/" path to all of the embedded Flash objects - no big deal but time consuming and tedious...
The art tags are bolded below: Thanks for any tips!
<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>test</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <!-- URL's used in the movie--> <!-- text used in the movie--> <OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.ca b#version=5,0,0,0" WIDTH=550 HEIGHT=400> <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="art/test.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF> <EMBED src="art/test.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH=550 HEIGHT=400 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_ Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED> </OBJECT> </BODY> </HTML>
