Can't find the url/images in Flexslider.css

Is it possible that an update removed this line of code? I have not edited the flexslider.css file yet when I run a cmd+f for "url" the way the video instructs, I do not find a "images" reference anywhere in the file. Am I doing something wrong? Can I continue without this step?

I just downloaded the zip file attached to that video and found the line on Line# 52

.flex-direction-nav a {width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: -20px 0 0; display: block; background: url(../images/bg_direction_nav.png) no-repeat 0 0; position: absolute; top: 50%; z-index: 10; cursor: pointer; text-indent: -9999px; opacity: 0; -webkit-transition: all .3s ease;}

Got it, thanks. Does this mean that we should be getting our files solely from the project folder to avoid compatibility issues?

if you want to make sure that you follow exactly along then I would say yes. If you are ok with things not always meshing up (update plugins, libraries, versions, etc) then use the current versions that you find on the net and make sure you understand why something doesn't mesh and if it matters. Though Treehouse does a good job, the web changes too fast for videos to always show the most current of everything.
