Hi.. I just bought a flash slideshow script from ActiveDen which is based on XML. I have a wordpress site, where I want to embed that. I just placed this in the index.php of wordpress template, <object width="960" height="275"> <param name="movie" value="preview.swf"> <embed src="flash/preview.swf" width="960" height="275"> </embed> </object> HTML: But the flash just keeps on loading on the frontend. It doesnt load the images. But when I try to access the SWF alone on browser, it shows the slideshow fine. Can anyone help please ?
.swf files are not supported in WordPress because of security reason. try this plugin to insert flash files. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-swfobject/
I just added one SWF directly via that code and it works perfect! But SWF filez, which pulls data from XMl file is just not working. Not sure, whats the issue.
Did you ever get an answer to this? I am having the same problem on a regular website (not WordPress). When I embed the swf in Dreamweaver, it doesn't pull from the XML, but when I launch it standalone, it's fine.
