I'm stuck. If I hit my xml file:http://www.cywakeman.com/test/slideshow/images.xml.php it shows the three images in the code. The flash file just isn't pulling in three images - only 1: http://www.cywakeman.com/test/slideshow/

Not sure what is going on.

It could be the extra whitespace. Try saving the output of images.xml.php as images.xml and switching back to that. It's often easier to debug a static text file than a dynamically generated one. If you can get it working with a static file (or have a file with multiple images that worked before) then we can compare the two and see what the difference is.

Hope that helps!

Dave,
I took the output from index.xml.php and made a new index.xml file and uploaded that. Created a new slideshow2.fla and made a new .swf and it works to the static index.xml

Dave,
I am not sure what exactly happened but I decided to rebuild the flash .fla and .swf again for the third time and somehow it is all working! Not sure what was happening or where I had gone wrong with it, but it works like a charm right now. Thanks for the coding to help it loop - it works great. Wish I knew where my exact problem was... oh, well. Thanks a ton!

Pete,

Thanks for letting us know and glad to hear it's working! Those XML feeds can be tricky.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Dave,
how would I add in caption and title then to loop through with the image? I have tried a couple of things but don't know php to get that part figured out.
thanks,
pete

Actually I messed some more and got it to work. Dumb luck I guess!
