I have an XML file which is controlling a flash file, however the new images I put in are not showing up.

They showed up on a Mac but not on a PC and now new nothing is showing up. Just the old ones.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<slideshow>
<img imgurl="image/early.jpg" />
<img imgurl="image/parentpower.jpg" />
<img imgurl="image/early.jpg" />
<img imgurl="image/2.jpg" />
<img imgurl="image/early.jpg" />
<img imgurl="image/3.jpg" />
<img imgurl="image/early.jpg" />
<img imgurl="image/4.jpg" />
<img imgurl="image/early.jpg" />
<img imgurl="image/5.jpg" />
<img imgurl="image/early.jpg" />
<img imgurl="image/13.jpg" />
</slideshow>

The one that isnt showing up is the 'early' picture.

http://www.stmartinsprep.com/ The flash shows on the very first page and should show an 'early years' info picture every other slide but its not showing up!

Can anyone help me please?

There's a possibility the xml could be cached in the browser from the first load... have you shut down and restarted the browser?

I've viewed it on two computers and the owners of the site have viewed it too and its not showing up.

I do not have access to any .fla files either only the xml file and the .swf's.

Is the PC caching the xml file? Trying clearing the browser cache.

Clearing the cache did nothing, I didn't expect it too since 3 computers can't view it.

Is there something wrong with the XML code I added?

There is no xml file loading in IE. View the files in your cache to verify. That's why those images don't show.
So I'd say there's some other problem than the .xml file itself. Something in the path, filename, spelling, etc is not working in IE.

OK here's the problem:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="slideshow.swf" width="886" height="224">
<param name="movie" value="image/slide.swf" />
It's loading "image/slide.swf" when it should be data="slideshow.swf"

How do I view them in my cache? I just cleared them.

Where could I look to see if the file is loaded or not?

All I did was change the only xml file that is available on my server so it has to be that one, and it is showing at least all the original images so I can't see how it is not working.

Ok I don't know how to change embeds that include XML files. I've only jsut started learning XML and its not going well, and yet I have to fix it on these sites lol.

Thank you!

That worked, two flash files doing the same thing and I overlook something simple!
