Not playing in order

I have the latest player installed and when the page loads even after clearing browser cache, it will show images in a random starting order other than from 1 to 5 according to the xml file listed order.

It will sometimes even show in reverse order.

shuffle is set to false.

I would like it to always start on image 1 then play through.

Were you expecting someone to make a guess, or did you simply forget to post a link to your Test Page?

See the Image Rotator flashvars documentation here: http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/ImageRotatorVars#Behaviour

Even though the default for shuffle is false, you can always set it to make sure that your playlist doesn't get shuffled.

I see three problems with your playlist:

1) There is whitespace (space, tab, newline) before the xml header, which can cause problems.

2) The opening and closing playlist tags don't match.
<playlist></playList>
Both tags should be spelled with all lower-case letters.

3) You are using "localhost" in the file URI. It should be the domain of your web site.
Change this:http://localhost/blvdmusic/imagerotator/images/2463034125_91761ea2f0.jpgto this:http://www.blvd-music.com/imagerotator/images/2463034125_91761ea2f0.jpg

Solved - Thanks

Solved although I was pulling my hair out for a few as to why the player quit displaying images.

The tracklist tag is not all lower case but you must use the camel back style trackList.

and the shuffle variable had to be set to false even though default is supposed to be false.

Thanks again!!
