    Hello, great product! Everything is working smoothly, except I can't seem to figure out how to place the monoslideshow.xml file in a sub-directory. When I have it in the main directory it works fine. When I move it to a sub-directory it stops working altogether. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Hello, I tried to follow these instructions but I got stuck.

    My structure :
    mysite.com/portfolio/index.html
    mysite.com/portfolio/gallery/monoslideshow.swf
    mysite.com/portfolio/gallery/monoslideshow.xml
    mysite.com/portfolio/gallery/swfobject.js
    mysite.com/portfolio/gallery/album/ (not changed anything here for the moment)

    My code :

    <script type="text/javascript">
    // <![CDATA[
    var so = new SWFObject("gallery/monoslideshow.swf", "SOmonoSlideshow", "480", "360", "7", "#ffffff");
    so.addParam("base", "/gallery/");
    so.write("monoSlideshow");
    // ]]>
    </script>


    With the code above, the initial logo launches, but then there's a gray screen indicating a loading error.
    If I add a / before the firts call of the gallery folder, white screen only without any info.
    If I change so.write("monoSlideshow"); for so.write("monoSlideShowIndex"); nothing loads at all and it tells me to get Javascript/Flash.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Co,

    Remove the backslash before "gallery" and change your so.addParam code to:

    so.addParam("base", "gallery/");

    that should work....

    tele5, try this sample code placed within the body of your page:


    <td>
    <div id="monoSlideshow">
    <p align="center"><strong>Please install <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash/">Flash</a> and turn on Javascript to view the Flash slideshow</strong><br />
    If you cannot view this page please <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash/">click here</a>
    to download Flash </p>
    </div>

    <script type="text/javascript">
    // <![CDATA[
    var so = new SWFObject("slideshow/monoslideshow.swf", "SOmonoSlideshow", "480", "360", "7", "#ffffff");
    so.addParam("base", "slideshow/");
    so.write("monoSlideshow");
    // ]]>
    </script>
    </td>

    Try this. From what I understand you have to create a div and give an id of "monoSlideshow" where ever you want to put Monoslideshow. Then the javascript calls the SWF, which is written from the monoslideshow.xml Basically you are using the SWFObject way to embed. (Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong) I hope this helps!
