hi,

i have embedded the flash object simple viewer in an entry but the player seems to be having trouble finding the gallery. i would imagine this is a path issue but i have tried many variations with no luck. any ideas?

here is the link to the file on its own
http://www.imaclima.com/albums/olddays/viewer.swf

and here is the entry pointing to the same path
http://www.imaclima.com/index.php?/arch ... 06/09.html

anyone done something similar?
appreciate the help. excited to get this working

cheers
john

Hi!

If the player is embedded from a different path than your current URL, it might not find the galleries. How did you specify the album target path? Inside the .swf? Because I see no option in the <param> list that would usually tell the player where to find the album URL.

Since you usually call the player from /albums/olddays/ the viewer would look inside that directory. But if you embed it, the path is "/" instead of "/albums" and thus the player would not find its files, unless you specified the path with "/albums/olddays" instead of, like "./".

Sadly I have no knowledge about this Flashplayer, so I don't know its options.
