On many pages of my site, I have embedded slideshows using a flash player, from photobucket. I am having problems with some of them... they don't always load smoothly, or they play through once and then stop instead of looping... I have especially had problems with the one on this page:

It doesn't act consistenly at all... Is this something I can fix?

If it's code loading files directly from Photobucket, I'd assume it's Photobucket's server or Internet connection that's not holding up. That is, if all viewers see the lag in loading as you do. :| I loaded the page and the thumbnails appeared slowly one by one, but I wasn't sure how it was designed to load, whether or not it should've loaded that way.

I agree with Adam, and it seemed to load faster the second time around, maybe a cache thing?

It does seem to load faster the second time... and it's not supposed to load slowly one by one. But, not all viewers see it like that, evidently. The people at photobucket seem to see the slideshow on that page just fine... maybe it's a problem with my internet speed.
I'll try putting fewer photos on the album, perhaps that would help.
thanks for looking at it, guys.
