   View Type: SlideShowPro: XML feed
   Filter: SlideShowPro: Image Galleries (chose one ore more galleries you want to show)
	         or any other filter setting

	you should be able to pass in any kind of documented SSP setting.
	* Refer to your SSP User Guide for more options. 
	* Use camelCase for options spelled Camel Case. 
	
ACTION SCRIPT SNIPPET FOR YOUR SWF
Put this action script snippet into frame no 1 of your flash application. 
This snippet copies all values passed in from HTML to the SSP component.
Keep the settings on the SSP component to their defaults if you would like
to set them with the filter macro. 

// begin
// ssp is the name of your SSP component Movie Clip
ssp.xmlFilePath = unescape(xmlfilepath);
ssp_vars = parameters.split(',');
for (var i = 0; i < ssp_vars.length; i++) {
	var_value = ssp_vars[i].split(':');
	if (var_value[1] == "True") {
		var_value[1] = true;
	}
	else if (var_value[1] == "False") {
		var_value[1] = false;
	}
	ssp[var_value[0]] = var_value[1];
}
// end
