What is changing the public path for the chart scroll objects from

/charts/sliders/black.swf

/blee/charts/sliders/black.swf?

You can see after /blee/load_line_4_chart is requested, the path to
public changes.
This required the chart objects to be copied and placed in a
directory /public/blee/chart.

These are the objects being requested in order:

The example on ziya.liquidrail did not change the public path.

http://ziya.liquidrail.com/charts/sliders/preview_handle_2.swf

The images and scroll appear correctly in the browser, however I can
not figure out what changed the public path?

Also, how was the controller able to route the request?
I hard coded the routes for 4 paths and removed the default routes and
yet rails can retrieve /blee/charts/sliders just fine?

I appreciate any help in understanding what is happening.

Thanks
Philip

routes.rb

ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|

# Install the default routes as the lowest priority.
# Note: These default routes make all actions in every controller
accessible via GET requests. You should
# consider removing or commenting them out if you're using named
routes and resources.
map.load_charts '/blee/load_charts', :controller => 'blee', :action
=> 'load_charts'
map.load_lines '/blee/load_lines', :controller => 'blee', :action =>
'load_lines'
map.line_2_chart '/blee/line_2_chart', :controller =>
'blee', :action => 'line_2_chart'
map.load_line_4_chart '/blee/load_line_4_chart', :controller =>
'blee', :action => 'load_line_4_chart'

end
