I re-published the file and pushed it up. Take a look at it now.
By the way, how do you look inside a swf from a server. That would be a good
testing technique to determine that the server actually has what you think it
has up there....

Subject: RE: swf not playing
I just looked inside the swf that is up there, and found this code,
with the same bad xml address:
transitionLength = 2;
transitionPause = 4;
transitionStyle = "Cross Fade";
typeface = "Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Verdana,Arial,_sans";
typefaceHead = "Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans
Unicode,Verdana,Arial,_sans";
typefaceEmbed = "Off";
videoAutoStart = "Off";
videoBufferTime = 1.000000E-001;
xmlFilePath = "images.xml";
???

Dang it. That is not working either...
I placed
http://www.motorsportsprogram.com/assets/flash/top-header/images.xml into the
swf file, changed the path to the images in the xml file to:
<album title="" description=""
lgPath="http://www.motorsportsprogram.com/assets/flash/top-header/gallery/large/";>
<img src="p1.jpg" caption="Motorsports Management - Joe Gibbs Racing
Tour" />
<img src="p1.jpg" caption="Motorsports Management - Joe Gibbs Racing
Tour" />
</album>
The swf works fine:
http://www.motorsportsprogram.com/assets/flash/top-header/top-header.swf
But the HTML will not display the swf, I even changed the paths in the
html to absolute...
http://www.motorsportsprogram.com/current-students/index.html
I am missing something really simple here, but for the life of me, I
cannot figure it out. I had forgotten about the swf file paths being relative
to the html location not the swf, so I thought that this was the ticket.

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>
â^'
<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.

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.
