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.

I have purchaged photowallFX, install the component and woks fine with settings.xml. Using flash cs5/as3.

I renamed the filename “settings.xml” to “xsettings.xml” (nothing else) and change the component property settingsXML to “xsettings.xml” and getting the compiler error:
Scene 1, Layer ‘Layer 1’, Frame 1 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type int to an unrelated type String.

How can I change settings.xml from FLASH AS3 to a different name.

Could you help please ?

Hi,

Regarding to your previous comments.

Regarding to your code do this way:

1) Drag to stage the Photo Wall FX.

2)Give it a instance name.

3) To load your xsetting.xml use this code:

photoWallFX.settingsXML = "xsettings.xml"; // photoWallFX is the instance name given as an e.g.

Thanks
