Topic: Embedding Slideshow Into WordPress

When embedding the slideshow into a wordpress page, you need to make all the paths absolute. 

Create a folder in you wp_content directory and upload your slideshow files there. 
In slideshow.xml, set all the paths to images to be absolute (http://yoursite.com/wp_content/slidesho … image1.jpg)

When you embed the slideshow in your page (or post), you will need to tell it where to look for the xml.  You do this with a flash var.  Again, all paths are absolute:

<object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf">
<embed src="http://yoursite.com/wp_content/slideshow/slideshow.swf?file=http://yoursite.com/wp_content/slideshow/slideshow.xml" width="550" height="400">
</embed>
</object>

Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it.
