I tried to use the extension flashalbum generator. With the browsers Firefox, Netscape and Opera (mozilla) the player seems not to work correctly ( a little image is only seen in high to left )

Indeed a bug the width and height were not entered on the embed tag.

Anyway I just fixed it - so download version 1.01 and install it again. You will need to generate your gallery again.

I am also having issues with Firefox. The thumbnails populate, but I get no main image, just a "loading image" message that never goes away. Also the thumbnails look dark. I DO have version 1.01

Make sure you uppload all the needed files to your live server. Also the generated XML file.
As the alert states when the album is succesfully generated.

I found out what the problem is: The xml file has an absolute path for the images, and when it is done locally looks like this: "file:///C/sokkit/site/surapine/slideshow/", and when I uploaded this to the server, Firefox would display dimmed thumbnails and no image. I then changed the image path to an absolute path on my main server ("www.johnomelia.com/surapine/slideshow/" - you can go take a look at the album there) and it worked fine. This also made me realize that a dimmed thumbnail also means there is no main image for that thumbnail. Interesting feature - can help in debugging.

I'm surprised I had no problem on IE with the "file:///C/" path. Any ideas why?

Please make sure that the page with the Flash Album on it - is saved in a site in Dreamweaver first.
This way Dreamweaver knows the local path and won't use full paths

It was saved in Dreamweaver, but I discovered something else. When I had the images saved to the same folder as the HTML file, I got an absolute path, but when I created a separate 'images' folder within that foilder and saved them there, I got a relative 'images' path.

I see - will check it out, It is however wise to always have your images in separete folder
