 * I have an interesting intermittent problem loading a slideshow in a highslide
   window using NextGen and imagerotator.swf
 * I have a sidebar menu with links to pages. These pages open in highslide html
   boxes. Most pages open and display fine, but a page with a slideshow e.g. ‘[slideshow
   id=2]’ won’t open **unless I have previously opened one of the previous pages
   without a slideshow.**
 * The problem can be viewed on this page at my site:
    [http://jmbphotography.co.uk/weddings/](http://jmbphotography.co.uk/weddings/)
 * If you go to the page and click directly on the link with the slideshow ‘article
   five’ then the highslide box opens with an error message ‘The Flash Player and
   a browser with Javascript support are needed.’ If you then click the link to 
   previous in this highslide box, to open up ‘article four’ (this is just an empty
   article with a heading), and then click the link to next, to go back to ‘article
   five’, then hey presto!….slideshow is working fine.
 * Alternatively, if you refresh the page… (and now opening article five won’t work
   again) and then open article four and close it, then click the article five link
   to show the slideshow, it will work fine again, until you navigate away and back
   to that page.
 * My gut feeling is that there is something wrong in the placement of the link 
   to the swfobject.js I’ve tried, as a test, putting it at the top of the page 
   that has the slideshow tag in it (article five). I’ve also tried putting it at
   the top of my single page template. Neither work and I’m now out of ideas!
 * Any help or thoughts would be great! Thanks
