This is my first time posting anything on the issues and I am not even sure I have put it in the right place. I apoligize if I am in error.

I am fairly new to Drupal and really new to Flashnode. I uploaded a swf file to a flash node. I see the background and the control buttons, but then get an error stating "cannot load configuration file". It is supposedly looking for a file named gallery_setup.txt in a sub-folder called gallery in the flash folder. Is that something that "flashvars" or the "Base" options takes care of? The swf plays in a standalone Flash player or if I open the html file that is written along with swf.

I also have SWFtools2.5 installed. I have played around with different players in SWFtools to see if that would solve the problem with no luck. I have also gone round and round with the template designer trying to solve this issue.

Help?

You probably need to set the base parameter on that flash node to point to the directory with the text file in it. When flash tries to load something external then if the path it uses isn't fully qualified it is relative to the page that loaded the swf, not to the swf. For Drupal that means if an swf were to look for 'something.txt' and the base parameter isn't set then it will look in site root.

Try setting the base path like /path/to/flash, where that's the path to the folder containing the configuration.
