Thanks for the suggestion. To the above point, I honestly don't understand the "base" parameter too well. Is the base parameter used to change or correct paths that are used in your Flash file? Or does it help point to the location of your .swf file?
I ended up using absolute paths in my swfobject code to get this going, and in my XML file, I essentially did the same thing. To fix my bigger issue, after much stressing, I figured out that I had the variable name wrong, the one that was telling my Flash file what XML file to use. Once I updated that, my code worked. So instead of this: <param name="flashvars" value="xml=bannerhome" /> I changed it to this: <param name="flashvars" value="primaryXML=bannerhome.xml" /> (for example) On Sep 9, 1:26 pm, Sam Sherlock <[email protected]> wrote: > try adding > <param name="base" value="/flash" /> > > to each object of the static output > > - S > > 2009/9/9 mplsdan <[email protected]> > > > > > > > I am trying to pass an XML file to my swfobject script, and having > > trouble.
