I'm using this program called Flash Slideshow Maker Professional (http://www.flash-slideshow-maker.com/index.php) and I'm using it for my site. However, the slideshow isn't loading. Firefox shows that it's connecting, waiting, and transferring data from my site but nothing is happening. The code is:


<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="100%" height="100%">
<param name="movie" value="web.swf?xml_path=slides.xml" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<embed src="web.swf?xml_path=slides.xml" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%" height="100%" allowFullScreen="true"></embed>
</object>

I have uploaded both web.swf and slides.xml to the server. If you go to my site, it waits a while and then displays nothing. That's whats heppening when you're going to the .swf file. It works on Preview in Frontpage and when I open the file but it doesn't work when I upload it. Any help?

Thanks!

Have you checked your error logs in CPanel?

Im assuming the index.htm one is

/home/fungames/public_html/error_log:

Nothing there that relates to index.htm

um, that error log file is only written when there is a php error. The error log I'm referring to is the one found in CPanel. Can't remember what section it's in, but it's there ... called Error Logs.

You will want to try to access the page with the embedded object ... wait for it to stop loading, then check the Main Error Log section of the Error Logs page. Look for any line associated with your domain name.

Oh! It's on the same page but in different sections. I didn't see it. I forgot to upload a folder according to it....
And it works! Thanks shadmego!
