Hi BigBear,

Thanks for the suggestions, yes, they’re things I discovered myself a while back, but key things to be aware of! It turned out to be IE7’s over-enthusiastic ActiveX settings, so I’ve now added a help link under the slideshow to help others with the same issue.

Have a great holiday!

One other thought – it might just be silly IE’s cache you could clear it and see how it loads.

Hi Aranya,
Your slideshow looks great!
have you set up a crossdomains.xml?
This enables the slideshow to work for www and non www URL’s – and also if you want to run slideshows on other domain names from your one director install – just add the other domains to your xml

Could be the issue?

Hi again,

Seems it was in part a Flash player issue (I don’t use IE except for checking sites!) & it wanted to upgrade (though it wasn’t telling me so – something to be aware of!). Your site looks fab now – mine still isn’t connecting to the xml file I guess (in IE7), though it does at least play the slideshowpro.swf, so some progress. Just need to figure the last bit now. Still pleased to hear any thoughts…

Cheers,

Aranya

Hi Big Bear,

Found you in a Google search as I have recently installed SlideShowPro (taking images from Director) inside Joomla 1.5 (latest version) using EasySSP. It’s working fine (at last – what a hassle) in Firefox 3.5.6, but I’ve just discovered not so in IE7.

I just checked out your site (this one) in IE7 too, to see what you’ve done to get around this, but your site has the same issue – blank white on the home page where the swf should be & weird flashing on the location gallery & showreel pages.

Here’s a link to the swf on my site (compare IE7 with Firefox):

Any thoughts?

Frustratingly, the old module that ran under 1.0 worked fine…

Rogue,
That generally means your flash is not connecting to its XML file – double check the file paths you have entered.

Thanks for the Help, just could not get it to work, went out and bought EMSlideshow – does what I need to do, and is very easy to use. Installed and running within 5 minutes.

Again, appreciate all your help – your site looks great (I may get there one day).
