    Usually this is because, by default, Flash looks for the xml file in the same directory as the page it is embedded in. In WordPress, with fancy urls, the directory of the page doesn’t actually exist.

    To get around this, most Flash galleries allow you to set a flashvar to define the actual path to the xml file. The particular variable varies depending on what Flash gallery you are using, so I can’t tell exactly what to set.

    With SwfObj, you can add flashvars using the “flashvars” attribute. If the variable for your gallery happened to be localpath, then you would need to add the following to your swfobj shortcode.
    [swfobj ... flashvars="localpath=/path/to/xmldir"]
