I downloaded the album generator a few days ago. I loaded it and was able to generate albums. Then I downloaded the new Flash player, version 8. Now nothing works. After I generate an album I can't see any images and when I try to run the swf on it's own, I get this message: [Internal DMX FlashGallery (v2.01) Error]
Unable to load gallery data from the XML file.
Error message: [Transaction.ErrorMessage(103)] Unable to retrieve the XML data from the server. Please check your configuration.
It appears that the album generator won't work with the latest version of the player. Is that true? True or not, what do I do...? Help, please.

Hi Jean,

Flash album generator should work just fine with Flash 8 player - we use it here all the time.

It seems that it can not find your xml file - are you sure you have uploaded it to your live server?

Do you have a link so I can check?

Greetings,
George

I am currently running it on the local site. I haven't uploaded it to the server yet. I am still testing. It worked fine the first 2 times. That is what is the most confusing.

Hi Jean,

have you specified different gallery titles each time you create a gallery? As the name of the generated xml file is derived from the gallery title - and if you already used it - then the xml file can get overwritten.

Yes, I was specifying new names. You can see what is happening at jeantphoto.com/jeant_events.html. Please let me know if you can see what is making this happen. Thanks.

Hi jean,

Well somehow in the xml file the path to the images became full local path, like this:

filename="file:///R|/_jeant/first site/events gallery/c001.jpg"

you probably haven't setup your DW site propertly, for example you are having multiple sites under a single DW site deifnition ...

So what you can do is search and replace the links to relative links in the xml file.

How did you setup the site in DW? What is the structure?

George

How did I miss that??? I guess it was too obvious. Thank you so much. I modified the paths in the xml and all is working fine. As for the site setup, I used the Dreamweaver site manager to create the site hierarchy. Everything else seems to work fine.

The galleries look lovely now. Thank you again.

Got same error: [Transaction.ErrorMessage(103)] Unable to retrieve the XML data from the server. when trying to run from local, runs fine from remote server. Is the filename="../images in the xml below the problem?

My problem is can't test in local before publishing.
