Slideshow skips only when online
Hi All,
I'd really appreciate some help on this.. I have a slide show that works totally fine when it's on my machine, however, once it's published to web, instead of having a smooth transition between External SWFs, it skips and shows white background with loader for a sec.. Not only when it's loading first time, but all the time.. Any help on this would be SUPER APPRECIATED. Here's the code:
Thank you very much ahead of time!!
