	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
    <gallery frameColor="0xFFFFFF" frameWidth="15" imagePadding="20" displayTime="6" enableRightClickOpen="true">

What are you tring to accomplish? what calls the gallery variable to display it?

Since the <object> tag is only calling the Flash file, that is all fine. Your problem is likely either:

  1. Your coldfusion code is in the file named "gallery.xml" in which case the colfusion processor is not going to parse it. or...

[LIST=2]
Your CF code is in a .cfm file that is not being read by the flash file.
[/LIST]
If your CF code were in "gallery.cfm", you could take the contents of your variable (the xml) and write it to a file named "gallery.xml". Try adding this to the end of your coldfusion code:

<cffile action = "write" file = "c:\pathToFile\gallery.xml" output = VARIABLES.gallery>
