    In your xml, you have a delay in the transition that does not work.

    This seems to work for me.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <album thumbnail="albumThumbnail.jpg" itemPath="/images">
    <configuration>
    <transition type="shatter" />
    </configuration>
    <contents>
    <image source="alien-detail.jpg" thumbnail="thumbnail1.jpg" />
    </contents>
    </album>

    As for your error, it is not finding your xml file.

    try this script instead.

    <script type="text/javascript">
    var flashvars = {dataFile: "slideshow/monoslideshow.xml"};
    var params = {allowScriptAccess: "sameDomain", allowfullscreen: "true", allowNetworking: "all"};
    var attributes = {id: "monoslideshow", name: "monoslideshow", bgColor: "000000"};
    swfobject.embedSWF("slideshow/monoslideshow.swf", "flashContent", "270", "360", "9", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
    </script>

    Let me know if it works out.

    I appreciate your help. I put in the new code and received an error # 2148

    I can get the image to at least appear here:http://www.markgroaningstudio.com/slideshow/monoslideshow.swf

    but I cannot get it to appear on a regular page
    http://www.markgroaningstudio.com/glass+metal2.html

    I am getting the I0 error again

    obviously at some point I want to expand on this slideshow to include Ken Burns and a navigation bar with thumbnail photos.

    dataFile needs to go into the "params" section, then you should be done.

    Chistoph, the manual says it belongs where I put it. As for the error, try removing the <embed>blah blah blah.swf</embed>

    I believe this is it.

    You need the swfobject here

    http://www.markgroaningstudio.com/swfobject.js

    to match your html. or you need to change your html to reference where you store it.

    Hi Jarredja,
    you're right, I was mistaken. Nevertheless, I'm sure the error belongs to the dataFile parameter. @tcaroll: Try putting the xml in the same directory as the html and omit the dataFile parameter as a starting point for further debugging.

    I believe he was not embedding it with swfobject. Once he removed the embeded swf, nothing appeared. When I took his HTML and dumped his website name out, I got two shows. One that worked and then the
    embedded .swf that had the 2148 error.

    I have cleaned the browser cache. I use Firefox by the way.
    I have also opened and closed the browser application. I cannot reboot the computer because I'm doing a backup.

    Unfortunately I do not see multiple pictures showing at the following address:

    I used ie7 and it worked. I tried ff and had the same issue you have. I will try to upload my version to my server to find the difference. My version works locally with ff. It will be tomorrow before I get that done.

    ok, one more thing and it appears to be my fault. In the above code that I posted, the "c" is capitalized in flashContent but your div is not. I should have caught that when I posted it. So Sorry.

    Correct one or the other.

    <div id="flashcontent">

    to

    <div id="flashContent">

    or
    swfobject.embedSWF("slideshow/monoslideshow.swf",

    "flashContent",

    "270", "360", "9", false, flashvars, params, attributes);

    to

    swfobject.embedSWF("slideshow/monoslideshow.swf",

    "flashcontent",

    "270", "360", "9", false, flashvars, params, attributes);

    One or the other. I had assumed you used the files directly from the manual but should have checked that.

    wow--I can't believe all that problem just for the case of the letter.

    In any event, thank you so very very much.

    I'm on to putting a thumbnail navigation at the bottom. Any help, suggestions will be greatly appreciated and welcome.

    I know HTML and CSS. I get confused in the examples when there is something that looks like "<item/>". Does the word " item" This is stay there?

    If it belongs there according to the manual, you can leave it. Or once you get your slideshow going and feel you want to get rid of extras, I find the best thing is to delete one or two at a time and then clear the cache and try the slideshow. If it works, move on, if not, go back and add it back in. Most of those things don't have to be in there if there are no additions.

    In other words,

    <item/>

    would be used there but there was nothing added to it. Usually, I don't keep any extras that I don't absolutely need. But ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS get the slideshow working before trying to remove things. Otherwise, it could take all week to find the missing link.

    As I understand it, IE reads a little between the lines whereas FF and Safari seem to take EVERYTHING literally. Which is why it worked for me in IE when I checked your site.

    I guess I don't see a clear example in the manual showing how the thumbnail tag should be written. That's Where my confusion comes in.

    Thank you for your tips regarding adding one element at a time. That sounds like a great idea.

    I don't use thumbs but by using the demo, changing the type from none to normal, it showed the thumbs.

    go to navigation

    then go to the bottom category, permanent navigation items

    <thumbnailNavigation type="normal">

    I just realized, with your help, how to implement the demo with my own files. DOH!

    I have a thumbnail navigation thing up--but it's not completely running.
    Do I have the wrong thumbnail path or something?

    yes, change your path to the thumbnails

    thumbnailPath="slideshow/thumbnails"

    Okay! I have the thumbnails up and running.

    I'm not sure how to make The thumbnails and larger images clickable to go to another HTML document.

    Hello,

    I'm not sure if it placed the code for the link correctly in the file. I'm only working on the evolution photograph right now.
    Can you tell me if it's in the right position?

    The slideshow runs A-OK-but I'm not sure the photo is clickable

    change this from

    to

    followImageLinks="true"

    I changed the word true. But I'm not sure if the HTML to redirect the clickable photo is correct.

    I was not sure where to place it within that tag at the bottom where the list of JPEG's are listed
