swfaddress alias flash

I'm using swfAddress module to manage paths in Flash. I'm having trouble passing the system path.

If i type in an aliased URL like mysite.com/event/event-name i want to tell flash that i'm really looking at mysite.com/node/2

I'm using SWFAddress.getValue in my as3 and that always shows the url as its displayed in the address bar (without the mysite.com bit or the hash - if the hash is present). SWFAddress suggests it can send the alias or system path, but i'm not seeing that. I've tried with and without the Path module and PathAuto turned on.
