Help, New to Flash and Javascript

[Eric]

I have the following code I am calling from a flash file. Everything
works fine except that the string it returns for the file location
does not include the slashes. It is returning
G:SwaneyDownloa dsReadme.txt instead of G:\Swaney\Downl oads\Readme.txt .
Is it something in my code that is causing this, or how flash is
interpreting the variable?

<!--
function browse()
{
document.forms. upload.file.cli ck()
while(document. forms.upload.fi le == "")
{
setTimeout(100)
}
idio_controller ()
}

function submitIt(){
document.upload .submit()
}

function idio_controller () {
var obj=parent.main .uploadflash;
if (obj) eval('obj.SetVa riable("filenam e",
"'+document.for ms.upload.file. value+'")');
}
//-->

Throw out the eval, use
if (obj && obj.SetVariable ) {
obj.SetVariable ("filename", document.forms. upload.file.val ue);
}
