i know i can check this from the document (adobe flash or anything that use embed), but i think it’s good to ask it here in fluther. basically what’s “base” for?

for example, embed a flash file.
<embed src=“the swf address here” base=“address here”>

base – . or [base directory] or [URL]. Specifies the base directory or URL used to resolve all relative path statements in the Flash Player movie. This attribute is helpful when your Flash Player movies are kept in a different directory from your other files.
