Odd Flash Embedding Problem

Question

I am using Flash with SlideShowPro (component) installed, no
actionscript.
My XML file and my images are in a sub folder. The Flash is
not working. I copied the swf into the subfolder the XML is in.
When I open the root level page which has the flash embedded on it,
it pulls up the flash SWF, but does not recognize the xml file
that's in the sub directory. It tries to get an XML file from the
root level, instead.
If I run a page from the subdirectory, it works correctly,
which tells me that the XML file is properly configured when
sitting in that directory.
What do I have to do with the embed statements (or anything
else) to make sure it takes the XML file that is in the same
subdirectory as the swf file, rather than trying to find an xml
file on the root level?
I don't think I can have the swf on the root level, because
it asks for an XML file and there are many different subfolders for
which this has to work. If there is a way, I'd be glad to hear of
it.
The subfolders are all dynamically created, so I can't
preconfigure with separate names for the swf or xml files. At time
of dynamic subfolder creation, I copy in the SWF file and the XML
file is created into that folder.
I appreciate your help.

Answer 1

I'm really desperate for help here.
My problem lies that I'm trying to use a dynamic situation
and PHP.
The PHP creates a folder in images/pictures, copies the swf
file into it, and creates an XML file in it...so, we'll use the
example of 10.
So now we have the houseInfo.php page on the root level with
the swf on it, and the images, actual swf file, and xml sheet are
in images/pictures/10
(remember, it's dynamic. So the number could be 14 or
24...depending on which houseID is in the database)
I can't use a php statement in flash, so I can't make the
flash dynamically grab the correct xml sheet from
images/pictures/10...
So I tried using this method:
http://components.earthscienceagency.com/support/slideshow/examples/dynamic_xml/
By this method, the SlideShowPro doesn't have an xml file
path declared in the component, but rather I have this in the
actionscript:
mySlideshow.loadXML(playlist);
and the component is ID'd as mySlideshow
The embedding on the page uses a php id and it seems to read
it right...this is what a view source will show:
<object height="270" width="250" codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0"
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000">
<param value="slide_frame.swf" name="movie"/>
<param value="playlist=images/pictures/10/slideshow.xml"
name="FlashVars"/>
<param value="high" name="quality"/>
<embed height="270" width="250"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"
quality="high"
flashvars="playlist=images/pictures/10/slideshow.xml"
src="slide_frame.swf"/>
</object>
You will notice in the flash the playlist is showing the
correct path to where the XML sheet would reside.
But it still doesn't work.
Please, help?
Thanks,
Denise
