Roger’s suggestion worked for me. I deleted the path to Imagerotator, which had www in address, saved the changes to the page, then after refresh clicked on search now button. The path it found to .swf file did not include www in the address. Once I save those changes, wala, slideshow loaded and worked. BTW, I use custom permalinks and really hate changing anything with that parameter because it can really screw things up. Maybe the difference was saving the page between deleting and searching for new path. Anyway, I’m happy, this has been a maddening issue. Thanks Roger.
