Location of AC_RunActiveContent.js

Question

I'm trying out 8.02 - specifically for the fix of the "Click
to Activate" problem. DW now creates a nice javascript call to
AC_FL_RunContent when I click the Insert/Media/Flash menu option,
but it also creates a new Script directory and puts the js file
there. I don't want to have a new js file for each directory in my
web site structure. Is there any way I can tell DW to use a common
source for the js file (ex.
http://www.mywebsite.com/common/AC_RunActiveContent.js),
whenever it inserts new flash content, rather than chaining off the
current directory?

I sure don't mean to make light of what's bothering you, but
personally, I would not have invested this much effort in
solving it.
Instead, I would let DW do whatever it wants and then used
search and
replace to change all instances of the script pointer to what
I want,
such as <script src="/common/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
