nextgen gallery problem “The Flash Player and a browser with Javascript support

  • I installed nextgen gallery v. 0.95 plugin in wordpress 2.5.1 but keep getting this error “The Flash Player and a browser with Javascript support are needed.” when trying to do slideshow. I tried imagerotator v 3.16, 3.15, and 3.14 but none of those solve the problem.

    Ok here is what I found from a clue in this thread (thatnks jel3 ! )

    There was another copy of swfobject.js !
    Just searched in my plugins directory for the swfobject file.

    The fix/correction was to replace the older swfobject.js located in the wp-simpleviewer directory with the one from the latest one in the nextgen-gallery/admin/ directory.

    So the issue is NOT with nextgen it is with the wp-simpleviewer and its older swfobject.js (its smaller ~6880 vs the nextgen at ~9763)

    Thats it. All the other code is unmodified and working as expected

    My problem is I can’t find the wp-simpleviewer on my server aside from the one in the nextgen gallery. Hm. What can be done here? This is the page where the next gen isn’t working.

    any suggestions?

    bump. thanks in advance!

    Try searching for th swfobject.js file, and check versions (and sizes) against the one in the nextgen-gallery/admin.

    Seems that there are a couple flash apps that use this, and could be giving us all headaches

    I’d search the whole site directory structure just to be sure, though I believe it is probably in the wp-content dirs

    I only found one, and that was in the nextgen folder in plug-ins. I re-downloaded the plugin from the website and overwrote the swfobject.js with the new one and still got the error.
