How to load a product with a different settings.xml file

How SWF and XMLs interact

The product's SWF file loads by default the settings.xml file which contains all the parameters of the component. You can rename this file but you have to specify the new name using the following code:

var flashvars = {};
flashvars.settingsXML = "your_name.xml";

like in this example for the 3D Banner FX:

<div id="Div3DBannerFX"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
 var flashvars = {};
 flashvars.settingsXML = "your_name.xml";
 var params = {};
 params.base = "";
 params.scale = "noscale";
 params.salign = "tl";
 params.wmode = "transparent";
 params.allowFullScreen = "true";
 params.allowScriptAccess = "always";
 swfobject.embedSWF("3DBannerFX.swf", "Div3DBannerFX", "600", "374", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params);
</script>

The assets (images, videos, text etc.) displayed by the product are specified in the images.xml (or menu.xml, videos.xml, big.xml, media.xml for other products). You can also rename this file but you have to specify in the settings.xml file through assets element what's the new name, like this example:

assets value="your_name_images.xml"

The Banner Rotator FX, Dock Menu FX and 3D Carousel Menu AS2 FX has imagesXML instead of assets element in the settings.xml file. The Video Player FX has media_url.

Can you tell us how to make more than one image file so we can load different photo galleries on different pages. We have the page flip software. Thanks.

Hi,
I purchased the page flip software. Have it loaded. I see it on my widget page and I can put your sample into my page, but I do not know how to get my photos loaded so that the will show.

Thanks for some help. Be gentle, I am new to this!!!

Bye!

Hi,

Edit images.xml and follow the example on how the pages are set. Every page has photo tags, and setting a value to the image(path to file) attribute is how a picture is loaded on a page of the flash component.

Hi!
I have written imges.xml as you specified: *
<images> <photo image=“images/panoramas/NarvikPW.jpg”></photo> <photo image=“images/panoramas/ObIztekuP.jpg”></photo> <photo image=“images/panoramas/01.jpg” hotspots=“assets/hotspots/hotspots2.xml”></photo>
</images>

Is this correct? swf file reads only the first image (NarvikPW.jpg) and ignores the rest. what have I done wrong? Can you explain, please?

Hi,

Send us the link to your website and we will check it out

Hi, I’d like to install the ‘Dock Menu’ on my new website which is being hosted by EKM Power Shops but, they do not grant ftp access so the only file that I can upload via the user interface is the .swf which, obviousley does not register any picture as there is no way for me to load the .xml files to the root.

Is there a way around this please?

Hi,

You will need to use another host for the component’s file that will allow you to upload all the assets. Now, in the embedding code, on your site, you have to write the absolute path for those files. Also, you will need to create a crossdomain.xml file in the root of the host server, please read this tutorial.

What is the configuration necessary to change the images.xml filename in the setting.xml configuration for the Image Slider? Can the filename be a fully qualified URI?

Hi,

Can you please give us more details on what you are referring?
