Fix ->Nexgen Slideshow not working with imagerotator.swf

The slideshow of NexGen Gallery plugin never really worked no matter how many times i followed the installation procedure. i downloaded and placed the imagerotator.swf in wp-content/uploads folder and the plugin kept on throwing this error with everything seems ok. i did use the latest version of the plugin and wordpress.

The path to imagerotator.swf is not defined, the slideshow will not work.
If you would like to use the JW Image Rotatator, please download the player here and upload it to your Upload folder (Default is wp-content/uploads).

Added to the frustration, the javascript wasnt working properly in firefox and i keep seeing the blank page both in General options and in Slideshow menu. i used another older browsers like IE to see through the contents.

Here is how you can Fix:

1. First download the imagerotator.swf file here and upload to wp-content/uploads folder.

2. Go to NexGen options > Slideshow. If firefox shows you blank page or the contents will not load, use an older browser to get the page to load somehow. Then press search now button. Thats it. The plugin will be able to automatically update the path of the file and your slideshow should work.
