SlideShowPro and Wordpress

I ran into an issue with images not loading with SlideShowPro and Wordpress. I would get the gray frame but no controls or images from the gallery. To fix the issue I did the following.

Update SlideShowPro

Open the SlideShowPro .fla you are working with in Flash.

Select to Window/Component Inspector or Shift + F7.

Scroll to the bottom and change the XML File Path value to the absolute path to your XML file. I am using the following.

/wp-content/themes/default/gallery.xml

Update XML Image Path

Open your gallery XML file and change the lgpath value to the path where your slideshow images are located. I am using the path below used in conjunction with the XML File Path set above.

/wp-content/themes/default/slideshow/gallery1/

Done

Export your movie and your gallery should start.

Resources

There are plugins available that help with deeper integration with Wordpress such as Slide Press. You might want to check those out if you want to manage the images directly from Wordpress.
