post the url with spaces instead of dots

So you're using photos.php rather than index.html so your gallery is non-standard to start with. Also your php file seems very unstable as it crashed my IE and my computer and I had to hard boot to recover!!
You are probably better off first telling us how your folder structre is set up and what your php is trying to do. You could post the php here using the code tags.

Well, I did get it working.

Actually, I did see that two different versions of swfobject were being called. Removed one and still had the same problem.

In fact, another issue in FireFox was that the gallery was shrunk down really small -- which I didn't notice since I needed it small, anyway. Client wanted it much bigger, so I reworked the whole template, but couldn't get it bigger.

I rebuilt the page from scratch and tested it every step of the way. What I discovered was that SV doesn't like being stuck in a table. Once I took it out of the table, I could control the size again and it showed up in IE and Safari.

I appreciate the help!
