Installation instructions for:

Download the news-ticker.zip package and put all the files from this package into the same folder with the HTML file in which you want the product to be added. If you put all the files in a different folder, read this article to learn how to specify the paths correctly.

You should know that the SWF file is the one that actually represents the product, while the other files from the downloaded package are the assets that the SWF file uses. A short explanation on how SWFs and XMLs interacts can be found here.

Open your HTML file with a text editor and insert in the HEAD section of your page (between the <head> and </head> tags) the following lines:

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
var params = {};
params.scale = "noscale";
params.salign = "tl";
params.wmode = "transparent";
params.allowScriptAccess = "always";
params.allowFullScreen = "true";
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("NewsTickerFX.swf", "DivNewsTickerFX", "600", "200", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>

The above code isn't enough to publish the product on your page. You also need to add in the BODY section of your page (between the <body> and </body> tags), where you want the product to be displayed, the following line:

<div id="DivNewsTickerFX"></div>

You can customize the News Ticker FX using the Live Demo above and then downloading the news-ticker.zip package with the changes you made or you can edit the settings.xml file included in the package.

To use your own web feed, edit the settings.xml file with a text editor and add the url of the web feed through assets attribute.

For the most common questions you have please go to our FAQ page.

If you want to use the News Ticker FX in Flash projects (FLA files), then it is available as a Flash component (MXP file) in the paid package.

Instructions on how to use the News Ticker FX component in Flash can be found here.

To be able to remove the FlashXML.net label from the top-left corner you will need to purchase the paid package.

You 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 news-ticker-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 News Ticker FX from the Settings tab in your WordPress Dashboard and update the path accordingly

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

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

6. Customize your News Ticker 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/news-ticker-fx/settings.xml

Additional settings file

To embed the News Ticker FX more than once, you will need another settings file. Let's assume your new file is called settings2.xml. Add [news-ticker-fx settings="settings2.xml"][/news-ticker-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 fxnewsticker_echo_embed_code() function call (for example <?php fxnewsticker_echo_embed_code("settings2.xml"); ?>).

Add as widget

To add the News Ticker FX as a widget, go to Widgets from the Appearance tab in your WordPress Dashboard, then drag and drop the News Ticker 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 [news-ticker-fx] and [/news-ticker-fx]. If you made the Flash part of your theme, add the text as the second argument of the fxnewsticker_echo_embed_code() function call (for example <?php fxnewsticker_echo_embed_code("", "Alternative content"); ?>).

Change WMODE

By default, the WMODE value is transparent but you can change it to window from the News Ticker 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: [news-ticker-fx wmode="window"][/news-ticker-fx]. If you're using the PHP function, here's an example on: <?php fxnewsticker_echo_embed_code("", "", 0, 0, "window"); ?>.

If you have PHP4

To make it work with PHP4, add [news-ticker-fx width="400" height="300"][/news-ticker-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 fxnewsticker_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/news-ticker-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.

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) 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 newstickerfx 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 News Ticker 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/newstickerfx/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) 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 newstickerfx 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 {newstickerfx}{/newstickerfx} where you want the Flash to show up in your article

5. Customize your News Ticker 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/newstickerfx/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: {newstickerfx settings=settings2.xml}{/newstickerfx} 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: {newstickerfx width=400 height=300}{/newstickerfx}. Don't forget to provide your own width and height values, since 400 and 300 are just examples.

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: {newstickerfx wmode=window}{/newstickerfx}.

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/newstickerfx/ folder.

Below you will find instructions on how to install and use the News Ticker FX Component in Flash (available for Flash CS4, CS5 and Flash Player 10 or later).

You can see an example on how to install a product in Flash 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 of any of the 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).

For now, this component does not dispatch events, but stay tuned for an update.

I’m trying to use this news ticker for an internal monitoring website, loading a local xml file. Can this ticker be set to re-download the new.xml file periodically, as it changes somewhat frequently. From my tests, I can see that it loads it once and then never again.

Hi,

You want to reload the new.xml without having to reload the page?

I have since wasted the harddrive that any email, link, or component that it was on.

My email was or is:

jason@yugii.com
jasonkash@sony.com
jasonkash@blackcherrymedia.com
jason@exraydesign.com
jasonkash@quiksilver.com

My primary is still: jason@yugii.com

I only need the as3 component to re-implement into a proof of concept. Love your product line, just want to put it back in the project.

Thanks,

jason
jason@yugii.com

Hi,

Unfortunately we don’t find any of these email addresses in our database. Make sure you gave us the correct one.

Jack,

Thanks. I got it to work using a ABCnews RSS feed, but cannot get it to work with a Google RSS feed, a CNN feed, a BBC news feed, or even the Reuters feed you mentioned to Harry below.

I am probably doing something wrong, but cannot figure it out. I have the lastest version of Flash as well.

Hi,

Please set up a test webpage and forward the link to support [at] flashxml.net and we will check.
The usual problems with news feeds in our components are due to the feed domain not allowing Flash access to their sites.

Trying to add a custom rss feed and when I do, it will not display the feed. I even tried using the one referenced above (<assets value=“http://feeds.reuters.com/reuters/topNews.xml”/>), and again, the feed does not show. Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

Hi,

I checked your website in different browsers but I noticed that everything work properly. Try to clear your browser’s cache or to update your flash player to the latest version.
