Thanks Jimbo for taking the time with this. Let me give all of that a try. It
makes sense as the swf is reacting as it would when paths are incorrect.

Subject: RE: swf not playing
In your swf, you try to load images from: images.xml - the swf is
loaded into a page at:
http://www.motorsportsprogram.com/current-students/top-header.html
BUT - images.xml is NOT in the same folder (current-students), but in
another folder. Paths in your swf start where the html page that the swf is
embedded in are, not where the actual swf is. The easiest way to make keep your
paths straight, is to use absolute addresses for the path to the xml file, and
also, in the xml file, make the path to your two photos absolute, like this:
in the swf, the path to your xml file would be:
http://www.motorsportsprogram.com/assets/flash/top-header/images.xml
In your xml file, the path to your photos would be:
<gallery>
−
<album title="" description="" lgPath="gallery/large/">
<img
src="http://www.motorsportsprogram.com/assets/flash/top-header/p1.jpg";
caption="Motorsports Management - Joe Gibbs Racing Tour"/>
<img
src="http://www.motorsportsprogram.com/assets/flash/top-header/p2.png";
caption="Motorsports Management - Joe Gibbs Racing Tour"/>
</album>
</gallery>
Then your content will show in the swf.
hth,
jimbo

Subject: Re: swf not playing
Maybe the error causes in the not unique id of the containing
div and the object. The id is the same: top_promo_flash

Here is a page where I broke it down even more to just
display the swf
only...Makes no sense why it is not working.
