    I'd like to embed monoslideshow in my Tumblr. But I didn't get it working. Could someone help me?

    This is my Tumblr: http://dinky-di.tumblr.com (building still in progress...)

    Al the necessary monoslideshow files (swf, xml) are in the root of my domain (www.dinky-di.eu)

    This is the code I post in my Tumblr-post:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.dinky-di.eu/swfobject.js"></script>

    <div id="monoSlideshow">
    <p><strong>Please install Flash® and turn on Javascript.</strong></p>
    </div>
    <code><script type="text/javascript">
    // <![CDATA[
    var so = new SWFObject("http://www.dinky-di.eu/monoslideshow.swf", "SOmonoSlideshow", "400", "300", "7", "#ffffff");
    so.addParam("base", "http://www.dinky-di.eu/");
    so.addVariable("dataFile", "http://www.dinky-di.eu/monoslideshow.xml");
    so.write("monoSlideshow");
    // ]]>
    </script></code>

    The problem is that the xml-file wasn't found. Someone a suggestion?

    one slideshow on the page works for me. Perhaps this post can offer guidance for you for multiple shows on one page.

    Thanks for the link. It was working.... After messing around with the code it isn't working anymore.

    This is the code that I paste in my tumblr-post:

    <code>

    <div id="monoSlideshow">
    <p><strong>Please install Flash® and turn on Javascript.</strong></p>
    </div>

    <script type="text/javascript">

    var so = new SWFObject("http://www.dinky-di.eu/monoslideshow.swf", "SOmonoSlideshow", "400", "300", "7", "#ffffff");
    so.addVariable("dataFile", "http://www.dinky-di.eu/monoslideshow.xml");
    so.write("monoSlideshow");

    </script>
    </code>

    - The swf-file is loaded correctly.
    - The images are in the folder www.dinky-di.eu/images
    - monoslideshow.xml is in the root (www.dinky-di.eu)
    - Instead of the pictures I get a large "!"

    Somehow the images aren't loaded. What could be the solution?

    Must you put

    http://www.dinky-di.com/

    in the lines below ?

    var so = new SWFObject("http://www.dinky-di.eu/monoslideshow.swf", "SOmonoSlideshow", "400", "300", "7", "#ffffff");
    so.addVariable("dataFile", "http://www.dinky-di.eu/monoslideshow.xml");

    sorry, i meant .eu instead of .com. but back to the point, is it necessary on those two lines for Tumblr ?

    The problem is that the swf-file is on my own domain (http://www.dinky-di.eu) and my blog is on the domain of Tumblr (http://dinky-di.tumblr.com). Thats the reason that I had to point to the file with an url.

    If they are necessary in these two lines, I would assume you need it in the imagePath too. if that is possible. As I understand it, monoslideshow uses the path relative to the html page calling the slideshow.
    Hopefully, someone else will be able to guide you.

    By the way, this is my xml-file. It was working with this, so I don't think that this is the problem.

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

    <slideshow>
    <album thumbnail= "albumThumbnail.jpg" imagePath="images">
    <img src="a.jpg" thumbnail="thumb1.jpg" />
    <img src="b.jpg" thumbnail="thumb2.jpg" />
    <img src="c.jpg" thumbnail="thumb3.jpg" />
    </album>
    </slideshow>

    When I first looked at the site, there was a slideshow working. You said that it could not find the xml but it was working. What has changed?

    You initally had this in

    so.addParam("base", "http://www.dinky-di.eu/");

    but I don't see it there any longer.

    Are you cleaning the cache on your computer to ensure it is not loading an old xml file?

    I've put that line back in. Same problem....

    Now its's working under Internet explorer (check out dinky-di.tumblr.com)
    But not in Firefox... Tried F5, Ctrl-R Is there a harder refresh method?

    Strange thing is that when I change the name of the xml-file, it no longer works in IE. Which makes sense as there's no valid xml-file anymore. My test-page in Firesfox however keeps working without a valid xml. How's that possible?

    By the way, this is my testpage outside tumblr: www.dinky-di.eu/test

    Working Demo at: http://snipurl.com/vpocs
    It's a Flickr RSS Feed using MonoSlideshow.
    What would the code look like for Tumblr? Do you embed the code as a Video or Text Post in Tumblr?

    When I try to preview, in Tumblr, the code sample above doesn't work. Of course, I updated the URL to point to the working demo files.
