swf problem with xml

Post by barbet »

dear developers/designers,

I'm kinda stuck with my website using cms. I'm trying really hard to embed a flash app I designed using a flash cs3 template. I've been looking around on this forum, but no answer brought me further. Maybe someone can help me.

This is my problem. I embedded the swf. It is a photo album. If I look on my website, is see it is working to some extend. The general lines are there, incl. headers, buttons etc. But the photo's aren't loading. When I run the swf directly with url, it works fully, but as soon as i embed it into cms, it seems it doesn't load the pictures anymore. I tested some things offline, and I get the same problem when I remove the xml files (5 in total), containing the photo names/descriptions. So my (logic) conclusion is that somehow, after embedding it into cms it can't reach the xml files anymore.

the code i used is this:

Code: Select all

<div align="center">  	<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" id="album" align="middle" height="447" width="600"> 	<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"></param> 	<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false"></param> 	
<param name="movie" value="uploads/album/album.swf"></param><param name="quality" value="high"></param><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"></param>	

<embed src="uploads/album/album.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" name="album" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" allowfullscreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer_nl" align="middle" height="447" width="600"></embed> 	</object>  </div>
I also included a {literal} tag in the template with a reference to the right swfobject.js embedded (and seems to work fine, uploads/album/swfobject.js). I used it in the same way on other templates as I did with other working swf's on my website. 

I haven't worked with xml files in combination with cms before, but everything gotta be the first time :).

Best regards,

i've looked further, maybe I should include flashvar parameters but i don't know (yet) how to formulate these. (I am still a bit of a noob).

flashmo_202_photo_list_01.xml
flashmo_202_photo_list_02.xml
flashmo_202_photo_list_03.xml
flashmo_202_photo_list_04.xml
flashmo_197_page_5.xml

these are my xml files. someone can tell me how i include them?

greetz,
