I think it would help if you explain which extensions you have tried and the issues caused by each one.

The cherry template should be OK with a gallery as it supports full width component views. I haven't used a dedicated flash gallery with the cherry template, but the Joomgallery extension functions perfectly.

I created an article and a module to put the animation in it

Here is the link of the page I tried. Nothing is loading

The gallery you are looking at isn't a Joomla extension. You could probably get it to run inside joomla, but you would need to create your own extension (custom module), which can support that xml gallery or find an xml/swf extension which will support it.

Have you looked in the JED there are loads of gallery options even ones that support forms of xml flash.

Like this one Gallery XML You can install and test it. The reviews aren't great but it seems to have active development as of 14/02/2011. It's a component and plugin there is also a category module to support that component Gallery XML CATPro module.

There are loads of gallery solutions in the JED, it could be worth exploring them to find the one that fits your requirements Gallery Extensions

Edit:

Forgot to say there is a 404 on your page the xml file is missing/can't be found.

Here is a link to the JEDs flash manager extensions maybe one of those can help you out.

GET logo_bg.png http://www.veteries.com/nuance2/templat ... ogo_bg.png
GET images.xml http://www.veteries.com/nuance2/images.xml

Those are the two 404 errors reported on your page. The easy way to see these errors would be to install firebug - then look in Console > Errors or you could check your servers error log report.

Firebug is a plugin for Firefox get it here.
Firebug Flash may also be useful for you get it here.
Web Developer is another useful site development tool it's also a Firefox extension get it here.
