I have created a flash gallery that loads pics from a XML file. This is working perfectly when I test it in flash but when I add it to my dreamweaver page all that loads is the background????
Flash and XML are in the correct directory and getting no errors...just nothing but the background showing up....

Does anyone have any suggestions?

What files are you loading to DreamWeaver?
Also the path in your HTML might not be right. I would open that file and take a look at it.

I am loading the "swf" file to dreamweaver. When I press play it just shows the background. It wont load the images from the xml.
I checked the path to the swf and it seems to be correct.....
It runs fine when I test movie from within flash itself.

are your .xml images names (the ones you made in xml) are they load in that path/folder.
Do that match the same path...

I think all my paths are correct. I have double shecked them.
I added a vector image to the layer that the images are on and it showed up.
I think now it is just taking forever to load the images.
My images sizes are 3kb to 34kb. I did not think that these would be too large?
I am testing locally with Apache2 PHP and MySQL. When I do the flash download simulation it downloads at a good speed.

That could be it. What is your dpi on your images. should be around 72 to 142 dpi. also trying using ping files I hear they are better with flash.

good luck
