    For the life of me I can't figure out why this isn't working. Everything I have tried (reading all the previous post/questions) doesn't seem to work and I continue to get the following message:

    This SimpleViewer gallery requires Macromedia Flash. Please open this post in your browser or get Macromedia Flash here.
    This is a WPSimpleViewerGallery

    Test Page: http://testing.justinkorn.com/bubblewrap/?page_id=14

    Plugin: 1.3.3
    WordPress: 2.6.1
    Firefox: 3.0.1

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    I also have no idea what the reason for this is - Is it the same with the Wordpress default template?

    Markus -

    I figured *something* out. Not sure if I miss read or if this is an issue somewhere.

    What I was doing: Created a simpleviewer gallery via LightRoom and then uploaded it.

    What made it work: Took the large images and placed them directly into the "gallery" (where gallery is the name of the SimpleViewer gallery you are creating) folder. I deleted all other files so that ONLY the image files were in the "gallery" folder. I then visited the admin page and created the SimpleViewer files from WordPress.

    All works now.

    Strange - so looks like there has been a problem creating the gallery on your webhost with the original pics

    I had the same error :

    This SimpleViewer gallery requires Macromedia Flash. Please open this post in your browser or get Macromedia Flash here.

    and tried a lot of things before finding the solution.

    In my case it was a conflict between simpleviewer and nextgen

    Hope it helps people having the same issue

    Hello,
    I have the same problem and from an alasysis of the Javascipt error it turns out this problem is due to the

    swfobject

    variable object not being initalized.
    By inspecting the plugin I see that this variable should be instantiated by this script call (line 128):

    //Now the template functions start
    function wp_simpleviewer_print_scripts() {
    wp_register_script('swfobject', WP_SIMPLEVIEWER_URL.'/js/swfobject/swfobject.js', false, '2.1');
    wp_enqueue_script('swfobject');

    But somehow the script does not get pulled out when generating the page's HEAD.
    This sounds like a theme problem.

    I'll investigate this further but I thought it could be a useful hint.

    Cheers

    hi,

    i'm just getting started with simple viewer and am experiencing the same issue.

    "This SimpleViewer gallery requires Macromedia Flash. Please open this post in your browser or get Macromedia Flash here."

    My gallery checks out and everything else has gone smoothly. I'm using a custom theme called mistylook (http://wpthemes.info/misty-look/) which seems pretty solid so far. I see you asked if another users them called "wp_head() function ". Can you help direct me as to where i could check for that?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    hmm... disabling nextgen gallery as gbo mentioned solved the problem. unfortunately i was hoping to run a combination of them both.

    I think the problem is that the swfobject script is loaded twice when both plugins are active.
