      <break>Ӂ</break>
      <paragraph>Here you can add a description text for every single image.</paragraph>
      <break>Ӂ</break>
      <inline>This is HTML text loaded from the external XML file and formatted with an external CSS file. So it's pretty simple to set this text. You can also easily add</inline>

  3. i think your problem is that images are not loading.make sure that images folder placed correctly and mention the path for the flash variable like this below
    flashvars.imageSource = "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13256471/piecemaker/images";
    if you still find a problem i would like to help you

  4. This is incredibly frustrating. The code works when posting it on my blogger, but as soon as I make the slightest change, such as hosting the files in my own hosting, nothing will show up, and therefore nothing can be customized.

  5. i saw your http://piecemakertest.blogspot.com/ site and i found that you have not used the swfobject you just embedded the piecemakerNoShadow.swf file....

    make sure you have copied the code from step 2......and replace the sources with yours for example
    flashvars.xmlSource=http://germanicus24.persiangig.com/document/piecemaker/piecemakerXML.xml
