I have created an XML Flash Slideshow v3 to be included on the home page of my website. The slideshow seems to be working fine, but the jpg and swf images are not coming in. I am getting an error message for each image “Progressive JPEG - Unable to render”.

Here is the link to the page:
http://www.watermotion.com/index.php/site/

I have a template set up for the index page. Within the index page, I have an embed to the tv screen html page which has the following code. The rest of the files for the slideshow are under a folder named “slideshow” on the server. How do I get the images to show up on the slideshow?

The problem is described with the error message you are receiving wink

Flash as far as I know has never been able to load in progressive JPEGS so you will need to re-save these out of whatever image editing programme you are using and ensure that you don’t have any progressive options checked. That should then enable the images to load.

Hope that helps a bit.

Best wishes,

Mark

Actually give that a try although I may have lied about what I just said. I think that progressive JPEGS didn’t work up until around V7 of the Flash player so maybe first check you have the latest version installed. Failing that trying with non-progressive images won’t hurt I suppose.

Best wishes,

Mark

Mark,

Still not working. I checked my version of Flash and I have the latest version installed (10,0,22,87). I also checked a couple of images by re-saving them in photoshop and making sure the progressive button was unchecked, but to no avail. It’s also confusing because the borders of my slideshow are actually swf images (that’s what XML Flash Slideshow v3 requires) but they are getting the “Progressive JPEG, Unable to Render” error message as well.

Any further ideas? Your help is GREATLY appreciated.

Just checking to see if the slideshow you are using is the same as this link here?

http://www.dwuser.com/flashslideshow/v3/support_email.php

If so then they do mention on that site that the slideshow only works with non-progressive JPEGS so this will definitely have to be sorted out first. If you have re-uploaded the images as non-progressive then it may be a cache problem somewhere possibly.

Best wishes,

Mark

Do you’ve got a direct link to the XML file? Are you sure the images are linked correctly?

This is how I’m linking to the XML file from my EE template:
xml:’{site_url}images/slideshow/v3flashslideshow/slideshow_data1.xml’

Perhaps I should be doing differently?

The .xml is not created by EE, is it? Just use an absolute URL then:

http://www.watermotion.com/images/slideshow/v3flashslideshow/slideshow_data1.xml

That said, the XML seems to reference these images:

<gallery id="news" thumb="news" title="news" description="news" fullPathPrefix="images/" >
    <
img src="TV- LEED copy.jpg" link="http://www.google.com" target="_blank" />
    <
img src="TV- POY 2008 copy.jpg" link="http://www.wcco.com" target="_self" />
    <
img src="TV- SIM copy.jpg" link="http://www.aprilgraphics.com" target="_self" />
    <
img src="TV-Waterosity copy.jpg" link="http://www.theimageauthor.com" target="_self" />
</
gallery>

I am not sure these images exist, at least in this location. Do try to avoid space in filenames, too.

Knew I’d forget something wink

Your XML file has the image folder path set as images/ you’ll probably want this to be /images/slideshow/images/ instead.

Hope that helps a bit.

Finally got around to this again. Yep, I had the wrong path. So simple. Thank you both for your help!
