Installation instructions for:

Download the image-scroller.zip package, extract it and copy all the resulted files and folders in the same location as the web page in which you want the product to be displayed. As an alternative, you can copy all the resulted files and folders in a different folder.

From the downloaded package, the SWF file represents the actual product while the other files (XMLs, images) are the assets that the SWF file uses. A short explanation how SWFs and XMLs interacts can be found here.

Open the HTML file with a text editor (like Notepad or TextEdit) and add the following code where you want the product to be displayed:

<div id="DivImageScrollerFX"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
 var flashvars = {};
 var params = {};
 params.base = "";
 params.scale = "noscale";
 params.salign = "tl";
 params.wmode = "transparent";
 params.allowFullScreen = "true";
 params.allowScriptAccess = "always";
 swfobject.embedSWF("ImageScrollerFX.swf", "DivImageScrollerFX", "600", "220", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params);
</script>

Don't forget to replace the 600 and 220 from the swfobject.embedSWF() function above with your own width and height that you specified in the settings.xml file through componentWidth and componentHeight elements. Also, don't forget to update the paths as specified in this FAQ article if you copied the product's files in a different folder.

CUSTOMIZATION

You can customize the Image Scroller FX using the Live Demo above and then download the image-scroller.zip package with the changes you've made or you can edit the settings.xml file with a text editor.

To use your own images, edit the images.xml file with a text editor and define in each row the image path, the url to go to when clicking the image, the target(_self for the same browser window or _blank for a new browser window) and the text between CDATA tags. Here's an example:

<photo image="images/101.jpg" target="_blank" url="http://www.flashxml.net"><![CDATA[<head>Hello</head>]]></photo>

You can have as many images as you like. To add a new image, add a new row in the XML file.

You can use photo albums from picasa, flickr, tumblr, photobucket, deviantart or mobypicture by adding the link to the web feed of your album to the assets element in the settings.xml file.

Please visit our FAQ page for answers to common questions.

If you want to get rid of the flashxml.net label from the top-left corner visible in the free version you have to purchase the product and use the paid version instead.

YYou can see an example on how to add a product in your Wordpress article/page here and how to add it in your theme or as a widget here.

Make sure your Wordpress version is greater than 2.8 and your hosting provider is using PHP5.

1. There are two files to download:

a. WordPress Plugin that you have to install and activate

b. Free package

2. Create a new folder inside your wp-content folder called flashxml, inside this folder create a new one called image-scroller-fx and copy the content of the free package there

3. If you copied the free package to a location different than the one above, go to Image Scroller FX from the Settings tab in your WordPress Dashboard and update the path accordingly

4. Add [image-scroller-fx][/image-scroller-fx] where you want the Flash to show up in your post/page

5. If you want to make the Image Scroller FX part of your theme, edit the template files and add <?php fximagescroller_echo_embed_code(); ?> where you want it to show up

6. Customize your Image Scroller FX using the Live Demo from the top of this page. Download the ZIP file and use the included settings.xml file to overwrite wp-content/flashxml/image-scroller-fx/settings.xml

7. To use your own images, upload them to wp-content/flashxml/image-scroller-fx/images and update the wp-content/flashxml/image-scroller-fx/images.xml file accordingly

Additional settings file

To embed the Image Scroller FX more than once, you will need another settings file and (probably) another set of images. Let's assume your new file is called settings2.xml. Add [image-scroller-fx settings="settings2.xml"][/image-scroller-fx] where you want the Flash to show up in your post/page. If you made the Flash part of your theme, add the file name as the first argument of the fximagescroller_echo_embed_code() function call (for example <?php fximagescroller_echo_embed_code("settings2.xml"); ?>).

Add as widget

To add the Image Scroller FX as a widget, go to Widgets from the Appearance tab in your WordPress Dashboard, then drag and drop the Image Scroller FX from Available Widgets to the widget area you want. You can specify a different settings.xml file and an alternative content for users without Adobe Flash Player from the widget's settings.

No Flash support text

To support visitors without Adobe Flash Player, you can provide alternative content by adding the text between [image-scroller-fx] and [/image-scroller-fx]. If you made the Flash part of your theme, add the text as the second argument of the fximagescroller_echo_embed_code() function call (for example <?php fximagescroller_echo_embed_code("", "Alternative content"); ?>).

Change WMODE

By default, the WMODE value is transparent but you can change it to window from the Image Scroller FX in the Settings tab in your WordPress Dashboard. For widgets, this can be done from the widget's settings. If you want to have a different WMODE value in a specific place, it can be done like this: [image-scroller-fx wmode="window"][/image-scroller-fx]. If you're using the PHP function, here's an example on: <?php fximagescroller_echo_embed_code("", "", 0, 0, "window"); ?>.

If you have PHP4

To make it work with PHP4, add [image-scroller-fx width="400" height="300"][/image-scroller-fx] where you want the Flash to show up in your post/page. If you made the Flash part of your theme, add the width and height as the third and fourth argument of the fximagescroller_echo_embed_code() function call. Don't forget to provide your own width and height values, since 400 and 300 are just examples.

Getting rid of the FlashXML.net label

To remove the FlashXML.net label from the top-left corner you'll need to buy the paid package. Once you'll do that, simply use the SWF file from the paid package to overwrite the SWF file from the wp-content/flashxml/image-scroller-fx/ folder.

1. Download the free package. You need to host all the included files from the package on your own domain because Facebook doesn't allow file hosting.

2. Log in to your Facebook account.

3. Search for the Static HTML: iframe tabs application and select it.

4. Click on Add Static HTML to a page button and you'll be prompted for the page where you want the app to be added.

5. Once added you'll see on the left side menu of your page a new tab with a star icon called Welcome. Click on it to edit it.

6. Add the following HTML embedding code in the text field:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.2/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
flashvars.folderPath = "http://www.yourdomain.com/product_folder/";
var params = {};
params.scale = "noscale";
params.salign = "tl";
params.wmode = "transparent";
params.allowScriptAccess = "always";
params.allowFullScreen = "true";
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.yourdomain.com/product_folder/ProductName.swf", "DivFlashComponent", "600", "400", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>
<div id="DivFlashComponent"></div>

Don't forget to use your own URL for the product's location, name, width and height.

7. Click preview to see how it looks or save changes. The product is now added to the Welcome tab of your page.

8. Optional: To change the tab's name, called by default Welcome, edit your page, go to the Apps tab and click Edit Settings option next to the Static HTML: iframe tabs application to enter the name you want.

9. Optional: To make the tab your default landing tab (first thing your visitors see on your page) edit your page and go to the Manage Permissions tab and change the Default Landing Tab. Note that this option doesn't work with the new Timeline for pages.

Getting rid of the FlashXML.net label

To remove the FlashXML.net label from the top-left corner you'll need to buy the paid package. Once you do that, simply use the SWF file from the paid package to overwrite the SWF file from the location where you hosted all the files from the free package.

The module is used for adding the product in one or more pages in a given position (e.g. top, bottom, sidebar) while the plugin is used for adding the product inside a specific article.

You can see an example on how to install a module in your Joomla 1.5 website here, how to install a plugin in your Joomla 1.5 website here, how to install a module in your Joomla 1.6 website here and how to install a plugin in your Joomla 1.6 website here.

Make sure your Joomla version is at least 1.5 and your hosting provider is using PHP5.

Joomla Module Instructions:

1. There are two files to download (both under GPL License):

a. Joomla Module (version 1.5 or version 1.6, 1.7 & 2.5 or version 3.x) that you have to install and enable

b. Free package

2. Create a new folder inside your Joomla folder called flashxml, inside this folder create a new one called imagescrollerfx and copy the content of the free package there

3. If you copied the free package to a location different than the one above, update the Path from module's parameters accordingly

4. Customize your Image Scroller FX using the Live Demo from the top of this page. Download the ZIP file and use the included settings.xml file to overwrite flashxml/imagescrollerfx/settings.xml

Note that the Joomla Module can only be used once in your website.

Joomla Plugin Instructions:

1. There are two files to download (both under GPL License):

a. Joomla Plugin (version 1.5 or version 1.6, 1.7 & 2.5 or version 3.x) that you have to install and enable

b. Free package

2. Create a new folder inside your Joomla folder called flashxml, inside this folder create a new one called imagescrollerfx and copy the content of the free package there

3. If you copied the free package to a location different from the one above, update the Path from plugin's parameters accordingly

4. Add {imagescrollerfx}{/imagescrollerfx} where you want the Flash to show up in your article

5. Customize your Image Scroller FX using the Live Demo from the top of this page. Download the ZIP file and use the included settings.xml file to overwrite flashxml/imagescrollerfx/settings.xml

6. The default name for the settings file is settings.xml, but if you want to use another file (for example settings2.xml), specify the name like this: {imagescrollerfx settings=settings2.xml}{/imagescrollerfx} where you want the component to show up in your article

7. In some cases the width and height will not be read from the settings.xml file but you can specify them like this: {imagescrollerfx width=400 height=300}{/imagescrollerfx}. Don't forget to provide your own width and height values, since 400 and 300 are just examples.

No Flash support text

To support visitors without Adobe Flash Player, you can provide alternative content by adding the text between {imagescrollerfx} and {/imagescrollerfx}.

Changing WMODE

By default, the WMODE value is transparent but you can change it to window from the module/plugin's parameters. If you want to have a different WMODE value in a specific article, it can be done like this: {imagescrollerfx wmode=window}{/imagescrollerfx}.

Getting rid of the FlashXML.net label
To remove the FlashXML.net label from the top-left corner you'll need to buy the paid package.
Once you will do that, simply use the SWF file from the paid package to overwrite the SWF file from the flashxml/imagescrollerfx/ folder.

The Image Scroller FX component is available for Flash CS3, CS4, CS5, CS5.5 and requires Flash Player 9 or later. To use this product in Flash you need the MXP file that is available only in the paid package.

You can see an example of how to install a component in Flash Professional here.

In this video you will see:
- how to create an instance of the component on the stage: from the Components panel (Ctrl+F7) drag & drop the component on the stage
- how to give a name to an instance for further use in ActionScript: click on the component instance on the stage and from the Properties panel (Ctrl+F3) enter a name in the text input
- how to access the properties of the component (read or modify) during different moments of your Flash application

Any property of the component could be accessed that way. The names of the properties are identical with the ones from the settings.xml file. The properties of the component can be any of these three types: Number, String, Boolean. We assume it’s intuitive of which type each property is.

Warning! Setting the parameters of the component in the Component Inspector window (Shift+F7) and in the same time having a settings.xml file populated with different values for each property, the properties from the settings.xml file will have priority (meaning that a parameter set in the Component Inspector will be ignored if that parameter is also defined in the XML file).

Maybe the most useful information consists in the events the component is dispatching. Instructions on how to catch these events can be found here.

Thanks for your latest instructions, now I have set 2 articles with different scrollers and luckily they works.
If you use my user and pw to enter in the site you will see that “Beauty” request a lot of time to load the scoller instead the “Fashion” one not…
Why? I create settings and images on the first example that works step by step as you wrote…
Can you take a glance please? What depends on?

Another question: if I’ll add in a second time some images I must correct settings.xml and images.xml linked to my article?
Each time when update images I’ll write in .xml files?

Thanks again…I hope it’s the last time I annoy you with my troubles and sorry for my incompetence but i’m a self-taught person and my bad english…be understanding! ;)

(user admin – pw esdemo)

Hi,

I have checked your website with Firefox and Firebug and the scrollers aren’t continuously requesting the files, it only has 53 requests for the Beauty and 60 for the Fashion page – this includes both page elements and component files.

If you want to change the images being loaded in the component you don’t need to change the images.xml filename, but just edit the file, and change the images declared inside. You might need to clear your browser’s cache, just in case it tries to load the cached XML files.

Hi, now that Image scroller work as I want I ‘d like to see different image scroller in the same site in different articles. Is it possibile?
I add in html artiche of Joomla 1.5.23 {imagescrollerfx}{/imagescrollerfx} where I want the Flash to show up for my test and this works perfectly,
but if I create a certain number of folders inside: /flashxml/imagescrollerfx/images like:
1)/flashxml/imagescrollerfx/images/fashion
2/flashxml/imagescrollerfx/images/travel
etc.
and I change the path in the html article and in the frontend of the site appear only:
{imagescrollerfx}{/imagescrollerfx/images/fashion} or
{imagescrollerfx}{/imagescrollerfx/images/travel}

Why? where can I write something else to work the plugin in more than one article?

In the plugin I can set the path for only an image scoller????
Now is setting like: /flashxml/imagescrollerfx/
I must write something else in settings?
I’m desperate…please help me as usually you can…
Can you explain me exactly what I must set everywhere in the backend and on FTP folder hierarchy

Many thanks in advance :)

Perhaps my client site will buy the paid package because he’s enthusiastic of this solution…if it’s work… I’m waiting for you!!! :)))

Hi,

In order to publish different Image Scroller in different articles, you need to follow the next steps:
1. You need to create different settings.xml files for each Scroller (settings1.xml, settings2.xml etc)
2. You need to create different images.xml files (images1.xml etc).
3. For example, in settings1.xml you need to update the value of assets attribute to images1.xml. In this way the first Image Scroller (which use settings1.xml) will load images from images1.xml.
4. Now, in the articles, you will embed the Scroller with different settings, as is specified in the Installation Instruction above.
e.g:
article 1: {imagescrollerfx settings=settings1.xml}{/imagescrollerfx}
article 2: {imagescrollerfx settings=settings2.xml}{/imagescrollerfx}

Hi, thanks for the last suggestions, now I have a request/problem: I’m using IMAGE SCROLLER with JOOMLA 1.5.23 STABLE and I set the component on your site and than download it and following your instruction I install the component. I need that all photos horizontal format an vertical format scroll at the same height (468 px), photos are saved
for horizontal for example 702×468H and vertical one 312×468H. I’ll see a stripe with height 468 px… it’s possible where I can set this option?
Please can you help me another time? :)
Thanks in advance…I’m waiting for you!

NB: If you want you can see the link… Now you can see two different heights and I don’t want this effect… :(
(user admin – pw esdemo to see the link goto “fashion” main menu upside…)

Hi,

The problem is due to how you created the boxes that display the images. In your settings.xml you say that your thumbs (scrolling images) should display in a 468*468 box.

<thumbWidth value="468"/>
<thumbHeight value="468"/>

However, your landscape images are 702 pixels wide, not 468. What’s happening is that your wide pictures get scaled down to a height of ~320, to make them fit the 468 width. Now, all you need to do is to update the thumb width to 702 or larger, to ensure the images have enough room to display:

<thumbWidth value="702"/>
<thumbHeight value="468"/>

By the way, don’t forget to clear your browser’s cache before reloading the page, to make sure you load the modified settings.xml and not the old one from cache.

hey, cant get images to open to desired url, it just opens a bigger picture, i was hoping to use the scroller as a type of menu for site navigation. also less importatant I am using a webservice for my web site they have a html editor do you think i could use it instead of current iframe.

Hi,

Edit your settings.xml file and change the value of useColorbox to false.

Hi,

I have this currently installed and working on a client website where the images displayed are pulled from .php script based on certain settings and it working well. I now need to have 2 different set of images (from different DB tables) for different pages but I can’t change which DB query to use. In the future there could be many more sets to choose from, upto 7 I think.

I have tried setting a global variable in PHP to choose which query to use, but I’m guessing that the XML file is loaded outside of the page load so the PHP variable isn’t available to it?

Is there a way I can either dynamically specify where the images are found, ie editing this line in the settings.xml file:

<assets value="./showcase.php"/>

If not, am I able to change which file the flash looks at for its settings from ‘settings.xml’ to ‘settings.php’, which I could then change myself dependant on the page being viewed.

Thanks

Hi,

You have to dynamically generate the settings.xml file with the value of assets attribute to the file you want.
