Flash xml slideshow in iWeb not working

Question

Hallo
I am really struggling to get a Flash xml slideshow to work.  I have used Flash Slideshow Maker app, which creates a slide.xml, .swf and .html file and everything is published in one folder "slideshow" on a local disk.
I am using the following code and it works perfectly when viewed in iWeb:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0, 40,0"
WIDTH="920" HEIGHT="400" id="Phambili">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="/Users/elsjevanzyl/Documents/Websites/Published Websites/Phambili/Slideshow/Phambili.swf?xml_path=slides.xml">
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
<PARAM NAME="wmode" value="transparent">
<PARAM NAME=base VALUE=".">
<EMBED src="/Users/elsjevanzyl/Documents/Websites/Published Websites/Phambili/Slideshow/Phambili.swf?xml_path=slides.xml" quality=high  wmode="transparent" WIDTH="920" HEIGHT="400"
NAME="Phambili" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" base=".">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
But as soon as I publish it to FTP with following code, it displays the slideshow but NOT the photos or thumbs:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0, 40,0"
WIDTH="920" HEIGHT="400" id="Phambili">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="http://harmonieproteas.co.za/Slideshow/Phambili.swf?xml_path=slides.xml">
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
<PARAM NAME="wmode" value="transparent">
<PARAM NAME=base VALUE=".">
<EMBED src="http://harmonieproteas.co.za/Slideshow/Phambili.swf?xml_path=slides.xml" quality=high  wmode="transparent" WIDTH="920" HEIGHT="400"
NAME="Phambili" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" base=".">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
I have also tried iFrame code, but this is not working at all.
Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong when publishing the above code to FTP?
Any help will be appreciated.

Flash isn't my thing but, it appears that you are missing the images:
