Hi Bart,

I am still not getting it but I am a really old person. I am still trying to come to grips with 'code' and 'CSS' as against WYSIWYG.

I have done the following in Dreamweaver
http://simpleviewer.net/simpleviewer/su … reamweaver

Select the gray box and do Window -> Properties to open the properties panel.

    * Set the gallery width (W), height (H) and background color (bg) in the properties panel. (that works  :) )

    * 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. (I think that this is my problem  :( )

    * Click the '+' (plus sign) to add a second new parameter. Enter allowFullscreen for the name and true for the value.  (That works  :) )

From what I can make out I need to change svgallery/ with the path to the gallery folder relative to the current document.

That's where my brain stops working. What should that path look lie as I have tried all sorts of variations. :/

Do I have this right?
The current document would be the one where the flash has to go ie wedding_gallery.html
But here is where I get lost 'gallery folder relative to the current document' . What should it look like?

Cheers
John

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. -->
    <!--[if !IE]>-->
    <object data="wedding_photos_gallery_folder/simpleviewer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="750" height="600" align="middle">
      <!--<![endif]-->
      <param name="quality" value="high" />
      <param name="swfversion" value="9.0.45.0" />
      <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
      <param name="BGCOLOR" value="#FFFFFF" />
      <param name="flashVars" value="baseURL=svgallery/" />

      <param name="allowFullscreen" value="true" />
      <!-- The browser displays the following alternative content for users with Flash Player 6.0 and older. -->
      <div>
        <h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
        <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>
      </div>
      <!--[if !IE]>-->
    </object>

    <!--<![endif]-->
  </object>

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.
