Hi Alex,
I am also having a time-wrenching day trying to figure out how to get the slideshow for NextGen-gallery to work. When I go to the page, http://creativelyrising.com/?page_id=364&show=gallery, I can see the flash icon but it starts to spin and picks up nothing from my gallery of images.
Also, when I try to click on the thumbnails, I am unable to see the viewer come up and see my images with the forward and back arrows either.
I am a newbie with all this, and also am baffled that in one place, I read that all I needed was imagerotator.swf file uploaded to uploads on my creativelyrising.com site, (which I did) whereas in another place, they suggested I have the xml file. Yikes. Nothing like reading away from your site to make your head spin too.
Any help would be appreciated. The pathway to the imagerotator does not appear to be the issue. I am working with wordpress 2.7.1 and have the blog at lunarpages.
