    Hi, I'm trying to get the index page working. My xml and my swf file are in my site /slideshow, my images are in /slideshow/images. But when I preview the index.html page, I get the exclamation point. The code for my xml file is

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    <!--
    Monoslideshow 1.32 configuration file
    Please visit http://www.monoslideshow.com for more info
    -->

    <slideshow>

    <preferences
    kenBurnsMode = "none"
    />

    <album thumbnail="slideshow/album/Thumbnail.jpg" title="Example album" description="Example description" imagePath="slideshow/images" thumbnailPath="slideshow/thumbnails">
    <img src="photo1.jpg" title="Example photo 1" description="Example description 1"/>
    <img src="photo2.jpg" title="Example photo 2" description="Example description 2"/>
    <img src="photo3.jpg" title="Example photo 3" description="Example description 3"/>
    </album>

    </slideshow>

    The code for my index.html is

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
    <title>Monoslideshow 1.32 Example page</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
    <div id="monoSlideshow">
    <p><strong>Please install Flash® and turn on Javascript.</strong></p>
    </div>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    // <![CDATA[
    var so = new SWFObject("slideshow/monoslideshow.swf", "SOmonoSlideshow", "480", "360", "7", "#ffffff");
    so.addVariable("shoLogo", "false");
    so.addParam("dataFile", "slideshow/");
    so.write("monoSlideshow");
    // ]]>
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>

    Is it the way that I set up my directories?
    Thank you,

    Everything looks ok. Put it up on a test site, post the link and I'll have a look.

    I am having the same problem with the exclamation point. I am trying to pull images from Flickr. Would appreciate some help. It might be the same issue as interagency. This is the link:

    I can't find anything wrong with my xml file or index file. And I've uploaded the swf file as well as the javascript file... all in the same folder.

    Here is the link, http://inuvikinteragency.org/slideshow/index.html When I upload the files to the remote server nothing is shown.

    I got it to work, for the directories use ../ and it worked for me. So, instead of having

    <album thumbnail="slideshow/album/Thumbnail.jpg" title="Example album" description="Example description" imagePath="slideshow/images" thumbnailPath="slideshow/thumbnails">

    I changed it to

    <album thumbnail="../slideshow/album/Thumbnail.jpg" title="Example album" description="Example description" imagePath="../slideshow/images" thumbnailPath="slideshow/thumbnails">

    Now I got the example working, I'm hoping getting my own slide show will be a breeze.

    I'm still getting the exclamation point when trying to pull in a feed from Flickr...
    http://www.uvm.edu/cdae/portfolio/AD/

    I posted my xml and index file coding above. Any help?

    Thanks.

    Still looking for some help figuring out what's wrong with my coding to pull a feed in from Flickr...
    http://www.uvm.edu/cdae/portfolio/AD/

    Again, code is posted above. I'm stuck on this and can't move forward until I figure it out. The Flickr set and its RSS feed are public and are pulling correctly into a RSS feed reader. They just aren't showing up using MSS.

    Frustrated...

    Sorry,
    most times I am the only one answering questions here, and I have no experience with Flickr.
    I would look through this forum for "showcase" threads, see if somebody else uses Flickr and hope that you get an inspiration from there.

    Well, thanks to some trouble-shooting by our webteam here, we think the issue is getting the correct type of RSS feed out of Fickr. Before I sit down to try each one in turn, is there someone who would know what RSS feed is correct type of feed to pull from Flickr?
    Determined to get this to work.

    I will just be using the slideshow embed option that Flickr offers (although I like all the different design features MSS can do) because it actually works. Many thanks. If I end up with a solution to pulling a Flickr feed, I will post it here.
