Hi Michael,
Most probably the url references for the icons aren't where the icons
really are.
Best way to solve the problem is to
a) Use firefox browser
b) Install firebug debugger into it
c) Open your html page with the timeline
d) open the debugger and click the 'Net' tab. You may need to enable
it, then reload the page
e) The Net tab will show you the pages your html file tried to
download but couldn't. Look for your icon files in the list. They'll
probably be in red indicating that the url in the event file was
wrong. (Or that the icon file was not available where it was supposed
to be.)
Good luck,
Larry
