Richard and Jackie, does your reluctance to use relative paths also extend to the distribution of standalones, or is it just stacks that present the problem?
I do it mostly for the reasons Richard outlined -- more control over playback and media selection as well as the abilitly to specify different movie playbacks by reloading the same player object.
But I get the feeling you don't want to mess around with scripts, you just want to set a filepath once during development and forget about it. If the IDE is changing that path then you're right, you won't be able to do that during development. I'd submit a bug report.
But it shouldn't be an issue for a standalone. Selecting the "Copy referenced files" in the standalone builder's Copy Files pane should create a standalone where your referenced movies are converted to correct filepaths inside the standalone, which is probably what you're after. So that's a solution for standalones, even though during development you may be stuck with absolute paths.
