am having a problem getting my flash(.swf) move to load within my Drupal site. I have inserted the flash in my site and when it load i get "load Fail". Here are the explicits :
1. I FTP'd the flashmovie its folders and files to my server,,
2. my web site is in folder named SoftWEAR_Systems within that is all the drupal modules and folders ... works just fine
3. I created another folder within the above folder names Flash Slideshow within that is all the files and folders created by my slide show maker. It consists of a folder called "slides" all the slides reside in here,,, a folder called "thumbs" for the thumbnails if needed and thats it. If you go directly to the url http://www.softwearsystems.com/Flash Slideshow/island.swf the movie (only one picture) will work just fine !!! I believe this is the problem code
4. next i embed the slideshow within my drupal web site with the following url http://www.softwearsystems.com/Flash Slideshow/island.swf and it produces a load failure
I am almost positive its a problem with the .xml file not finding the photos I will insert the xml file now:
I believe the URL paramaters are incorrect../thumbs etc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For some reason flashplayer cannot find the slides with this code!!!!
Thank YOu I hope i explained this correctly. and by the way i have another flash movie which is all in one in that it does not load any exterior slides or have a .xml file and i can embed that just fine !!

What should the URL in the .xml file be to point to the correct folders ??? should it be ../thumbs/pic1 or should it be just "thumbs/pic1"
I have tried full url also and that did not work?? http://www/softwearsystems.com/Flash Slideshow/thumbs/pic1...
This is the current setting which does not work
slide jpgurl="../thumbs/t_0001.jpg"
Stumped
