   I'd like to parse the xml directly ffrom the html to Monoslideshow. The manual writes about this:

   Pass XML data directly to Monoslideshow

   By passing the Flash® variable xml via SWFObject, you can directly pass a Monoslideshow formatted XML string to the Monoslideshow instance. This variable overrides the data file specified in the attribute dataFile. Below is an example of passing a XML string to Monoslideshow.

   var flashvars = {xml:
   '<album title="!" itemPath="test/images/" thumbnailPath="test/thumbnails/">' +
   '<contents>' +
   '<image source="1.jpg" />' +
   '<image source="2.jpg" />' +
   '<image source="3.jpg" />' +
   '</contents>' +
   '</album>'
   };
   var params = {allowScriptAccess: "always"};
   var attributes = {id: "monoslideshow", name: "monoslideshow"};

   swfobject.embedSWF(
   "Monoslideshow.swf", "flashContent",
   "480", "360", "10", false,
   flashvars, params, attributes
   );

   But I can't get it working in my Tumblr blog....

   The script/code that I use to put a MSS on my blog is:

   <p> <code>
   <div id="monoSlideshow3">
   <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/monoslideshow1.xml");
   so.write("monoSlideshow3");

   </script></code></p>

   I've no idea how to mix these two. What script do I exactly need to parse xml right away to MSS and put the whole thing in my blog?

   By the way the link to my blog is: http://dinky-di.tumblr.com

   For a first step, I made it less complicated (without parsing the xml).
   The code below results in: "Error loading slideShow "monoslideshow.xml"."

   <div id="flashContent">
   <p>Please install Flash®</p>
   </div>
   <script type="text/javascript">
   var flashvars = {};
   var params = {};
   var attributes = {};
   swfobject.embedSWF(
   "http://www.dinky-di.eu/monoslideshow.swf", "flashContent",
   "480", "360", "10", false,
   flashvars, params, attributes
   );
   </script>

   For that reason I changed it to a custom xml-file. I added this:

   dataFile: "http://www.dinky-di.eu/monoslideshow1.xml"

   That works!

   After that I changed it to:

   var flashvars = {xml:
   '<album title="Album Title" >' +
   '<contents>' +
   '<image source="http://www.dinky-di.eu/a.jpg" />' +
   '<image source="http://www.dinky-di.eu/b.jpg" />' +
   '<image source="http://www.dinky-di.eu/c.jpg" />' +
   '</contents>' +
   '</album>'};

   This resulted again in: "Error loading slideShow "monoslideshow.xml".
   But what's wrong? In this case I don't need a xml-file isn't it? Or must there a xml-file and are the image sources in the xmf-file override by the code above?
   If so, the problem is that I have to write down the whole url. Is there a possibility to combine the code above with a custom xml?

   Added this to the 'var params':

   base:"http://www.dinky-di.eu"

   But now it uses the images of monoslideshow.xml instead of the images of the parsed xml...

   I think the problem is, that this is only possible in V2.0.......
   Am I right?
