   I'm having trouble getting the slideshow to work. I have configured the file structure in MS FrontPage as recommended in your manual. The ''swfobject.js" file is the root directory with the index.htm The .xml file and the downloaded monoslideshow.swf file are in index.htm/slideshow & the photos and thumbnails are in index.htm/slideshow/images/xxx.jpg's and index.htm/slideshow/thumbnails/xxx.jpg's

   My .xml file looks like this:
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <slideshow>
   <album itemPath="slideshow/images" thumbnailPath="slideshow/thumbnails" >
   <contents>
   <img src="photo1.jpg" thumbnail ="photo1.jpg"/>
   <img src="photo2.jpg" thumbnail ="photo2.jpg"/>
   <img src="photo3.jpg" thumbnail ="photo3.jpg"/>
   </contents>
   </album>
   </slideshow>

   The script on my webpage (index.htm) looks like this:
   <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
   <div id="monoslideshow.swf">
    
   </div>
   <script type="text/javascript">
   var so = new SWFObject("monoslideshow.swf", "mss", "400", "400", "6", "#ffffff");
   so.write("monoslideshow.swf");
   </script>

   Any help would be appreciated

   The .xml file and the downloaded monoslideshow.swf file are in index.htm/slideshow

   These files should be in the same folder as the index.htm or have their paths reference their true location.

   However, providing a link would help us to help you.

   Thanks for replying and the offer to help. I am not proficient in HTML or .XML so that is a hindrance.

   www.lyndensummerfest.org is the test site I'm working within.

   Thanks in advance

   Replace this code

   <script type="text/javascript">
   var so = new SWFObject("Slideshow/monosldeshow.swf", "mymovie", "400", "400", "8", "#336699");
   so.write("monoslideshow.swf");
   </script>

   with

   <script type="text/javascript">
   var so = new SWFObject("Slideshow/monosldeshow.swf", "mymovie", "400", "400", "8", "#336699");
   so.addVariable("dataFile", "Slideshow/monoslideshow.xml");

   so.write("monoslideshow.swf");
   </script>

   Since your xml is not in the same folder as the index page, you must use the datafile.

   Hi Jarredja,

   After pasting in the new .xml file I get the error on this line -so.addVariable("dataFile", "Slideshow/monoslideshow.xml"); that the SWFObject is undefined. No longer do I get the empty frame with the monokai logo that flashes and then states that was an error loading .xml file.

   My .xml file reads
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <!--

   <slideshow>
   <album thumbnail="Slideshow/thumbnails/thumb1.jpg" imagePath="Slideshow/images" thumbnailPath="Slideshow/thumbnails" >
   <contents>
   <img src="photo1.jpg" thumbnail ="thumb1.jpg"/>
   <img src="photo2.jpg" thumbnail ="thumb2.jpg"/>
   <img src="photo3.jpg" thumbnail ="thumb3.jpg"/>
   </contents>
   </album>

   </slideshow>
