    I a newbie at Modx. I’ve managed to get a simple swf file to work on my new site using SWFObject, but cannot get complex ones that link to xlm files to work.

    My file sunset3.swf (created by Auto Pano Tour)looks for sunset3.xlm and sunset30.xlm. I have tried various configurations: placing all the files in the site root ; placing the sunset3.swf in the site root and the other files in /assets/flash/, and finally placing all the files in /assets/flash/) - manually changing the paths in xlm files to corresponds each time.

    (I’m pretty sure the xlm links are ok when I put everything in the site root, because when I use ftp to locate the file at /public_html/assets/flash/sunset3.swf and click on it it works).

    But on-line it says ’Please download Flash player here’ where the flash should play

    My call is [!SWFObject? &mode=`static` &flashVersion=`9.0.0` &objId=`sunset3` &objId=`myFlashContent`&objWidth=`380` &objHeight=`260` &swfFile=`assets/flash/sunsetbars3.swf`!]

    Any suggestions please...

      Is it sunset3.swf or sunsetbars3.swf? They are two different file names.
