   Hey guys,

   Just got round to sorting out my MSS and used Paul Stamatiou's (http://paulstamatiou.com/2007/03/20/how-to-flickr-slideshow-badge) tweaks to use my RSS feed from Flickr. I'm including the flickr.php inside my main page. When I view this in my web server though I get the above message. I'm sure its something small!

   I'm running Firefox 3 with a xampp based apache web server. Tried uninstalling and re-installing flash to no avail...

   The XML file is:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <slideshow><album size="thumbnail" imageTransition="fadeInOut">
   <flickr><![CDATA[http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=31794203@N08&lang=en-us&format=rss_200]]></flickr>
   </album></slideshow>

   My Flick.php file is:

   <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
   <div id="slideshow">
   <p><small>Please install Flash and turn on JavaScript.</small></p>
   </div>
   <script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
   var so = new SWFObject("slideshow.swf", "slideshow", "193", "250", "7", "#ded0b7");
   so.addVariable("dataFile", "slideshow.xml");
   so.addVariable("kenBurnsMode", "random");
   so.addVariable("showLogo", "false");
   so.addVariable("showControls","false");
   so.addVariable("showImageInfo","onRollOver");
   so.addParam("base", "slideshow/");
   so.write("slideshow");
   // ]]>
   </script>

   If anyone can help at all that would be fantastic as it is driving me nuts!

   cheers in advance

   :)

   Don't know where your files are, but some observations:
   - SWFObject isn't the same as swfobject
   - I find it confusing to have a folder "slideshow" and a div id of the same name, although it should work nevertheless
   - Your way of calling swfobject is neither the old one described in the manual nor the newer one suggested by the swfobject.js maintainer

   I would check out the swfobject page at Google Code, download the newest swfobject.js from there, copy/paste their suggested way to integrate it (or copy it from any other thread in this forum), and my guess is it would work first try.
