Answer

Short explanation on how FX components read XML files

The SWF file loads at start the settings.xml file which contains all the parameters of the component. You can customize these parameters on the Live Demo of the component (the demo with controls) and then click on the “Generate settings.xml” button. You can overwrite this generated content over the contents of the existing (default) settings.xml file.
The filename of the settings.xml file can be modified through FlashVars:

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

 

In the images.xml file (the name of the file can be modified inside the settings.xml file) you can add as many images as you want to the component. There is no parameter to specify a total number of images which a component will use, and this number will be calculated from the number of rows added in the images.xml file.
Each row represents a new image, and for each image you can specify things like:
- image - the path of the image
- url - the address to go to when clicking the image
- target - “_self” opens the url in the same browser page, ” _blank” opens the url in a new browser page
The attributes list may differ from one component to another. You will usually have all the particularities each component’s image can support.

Hi,

I am trying to embed the “carousel gallery.swf” from a subfolder to an HTML file in the root.
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Here is the code in HTML file: (I have also installed the “swfobject.js” in the root)

<html xmlns=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml” xml:lang=“en” lang=“en”>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=“Content-Type” content=“text/html; charset=iso-8859-1” />
<title>carousel gallery</title>

<script type=“text/javascript” src=“swfobject.js”></script>

<script type=“text/javascript”>
var flashvars1 = {};
flashvars.folderPath = “carousel_gallery/”;
var params1 = {};
params1.scale = “noscale”;
params1.salign = “tl”;
params1.wmode = “transparent”;
var attributes1 = {};
swfobject.embedSWF(“carousel_gallery/carousel_gallery.swf”, “ComponentDiv1”, “800”, “700”, “9.0.0”, false, flashvars1, params1, attributes1);
</script>

</head>
<body bgcolor=”#09151a”>
<table align=“center”>
<tr>
<td width=“100%” align=“center” valign=“middle” height=“100%”>
<!—url’s used in the movie—>
<!—text used in the movie—>
<!— saved from url=(0013)about:internet —>

<div id=“ComponentDiv1”></div>

</td></tr></table>
</body>
</html>

Thanks

Hi,

im using weebly.com as my website and currently having a problem to use banner-rotator. Im not quite familiar with this “coding things” and need help regarding installation to my web page.

Could ‘support’ help me on this?? – how to manage which files in which folders?? – how to make it works in the first place??

FlashXML Support

Hi,

You would need to have all files uploaded to your website and from weebly editor you would have to add a custom html code that embedds the banner rotator swf file. Here you can find out more about the embedding code.

good night, I downloaded the ( cover flow FX ) is very good, but I can not use the method ( flashvars.settingsXML) to use other settings.XML file, when I use the method exemplified by you (flashvars.settingsXML= “settings1.xml”;) the file settings1.xml is not changed, still carrying the file old settings.xml. I have done all the necessary changes in the file settings1.xml to use image1.xml. it’s all in the same directory but does not work. what am I doing wrong?

Hi !

I am trying to include banner-rotator flash into my site. I kept all the files in a single folder. and another subfolder for images. This is showing the frame but not showing the images. Sending Index.HTML code. Please help.

FlashXML Support

Hi,

I checked your website and I see that you’re having a html file called indexx.html that doesn’t work because you need to make some changes to it like this:

Change this line:

flashvars.folderPath = “/public_html/flashdemo/”;


to this:

flashvars.folderPath = “flashdemo/

Also, change this line:

swfobject.embedSWF(“banner.swf”, “BannerDiv”, “400”, “250”, “9.0.0”, false, flashvars, params, attributes);


to this:

swfobject.embedSWF(“flashdemo/banner.swf”, “BannerDiv”, “400”, “250”, “9.0.0”, false, flashvars, params, attributes);

Also, I see that in your images.xml file you’re using the path images folder but you have a folder called Images (with capital I). Make these changes and it will work.

Hi,

I tried Cover flow FX free trial and everything is okay except the link on a picture.
By default, a images.xml line is like that :
<image url = “images/01.jpg” bigimage = “images/01.jpg” link = “http://www.flashxml.net” target=”_blank” lightboxinfo = “Description for first image 1” title = “Hello”></image>

and the link property is not working. I tried with different URLs.

Did I forget something ?
