    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. :mad::mad:
    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 ?

    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.
