Why is there so much conflicting information with Simpleviewer Pro?
Here
http://simpleviewer.net/simpleviewer/su … index.html
it says
"To make SimpleViewer work you need to use the embed method described above. Using Dreamweaver's Insert -> Media -> SWF method will cause SimpleViewer to break. This is because SimpleViewer uses SWFObject to embed the SWF. SWFObject is an industry standard way to embed flash content that handles Flash player detection and upgrade prompts. Using the default Flash embed method in Dreamweaver will not work, since the config options that are set in the Javascript will be ignored".
A. This is SimpleViewer 1.X info (see page title) and you are using SimpleViewer 2 B. dreamweaver has gotten a little bit better with time. We still do suggest the people us the SWFObject method , but it's up to you.
It looks like you followed the direction for the dreamweaver embed method without making changes to it so that it would work with your site.
Click the '+' (plus sign) to add a new parameter. Enter flashVars for the name and baseURL=svgallery/ for the value, replacing svgallery/ with the path to the gallery folder relative to the current document.
This is your embed code:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="750" height="600" align="middle" id="FlashID" title="Bruce Maconachie Photography">
<param name="movie" value="wedding_photos_gallery_folder/simpleviewer.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="swfversion" value="9.0.45.0" />
<!-- This param tag prompts users with Flash Player 6.0 r65 and higher to download the latest version of Flash Player. Delete it if you don’t want users to see the prompt. -->
<param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
<param name="BGCOLOR" value="#FFFFFF" />
<param name="flashVars" value="baseURL=svgallery/" />
<param name="allowFullscreen" value="true" />
<!-- Next object tag is for non-IE browsers. So hide it from IE using IECC. -->

baseURL tells the swf that it can look in this folder for the gallery data, right now it is pointing to a folder called svgallery. As you can see you are pointing to a folder that does not exist on your site. You need to do one of several things move the gallery.xml and image folders into a folder by that name or change the name in the embed code and move them to that folder or use galleryURL instead of baseURL and point to the XML file for that gallery. Once you choose one of these option if you still can't figure it out post which option you want to use and we can give you a hand.
