When running in development env, I don’t have this problem, only in  
production…

I have a view in which a js script display a FlowPlayer video player  
(+ plugins)…  
the flash files are located in the /public/dist folder, ant the  
script calls them like that :

 $f("player", "/dist/flowplayer-3.1.5.swf", { plugins: { rtmp: { url: "/dist/flowplayer.rtmp-3.1.3.swf" } openAdStreamer: { url: '/dist/OpenAdStreamer.swf', .. how should I write the url to work both in dev and prod modes ? thanks for your help erwin

I believe the problem is linked to using a sub-uri in production  
the /dist folder is search at the application root not at the relative  
url
