How to load a product with a different settings.xml file
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";
like in this example:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
flashvars.settingsXML= "your_filename.xml";
var params = {};
params.scale = "noscale";
params.salign = "tl";
params.wmode = "transparent";
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("ComponentNameFX.swf", "ComponentNameDiv", "600", "300", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
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.

Changed to:
<componentWidth value=“590”/> <componentHeight value=“300”/>Did Not Help any …... <GERRRRR>

Thanx again in Advance
Hi,
Thank you for your great interest in our product. From what I read in your comment, all the problems are related to the Photo Wall component inside our template.
I recommend you try going to our component’s webpage Photo Wall and you check out our LiveDemo as all the attributes in the settings.xml are in our Live Demo, and you can try to test your image files/SWF files right on the Live Demo (I recommend you use Firefox when uploading files through content editor)
Your SWF problem I believe comes from the fact that your SWF has assets ofstage (which you animated to fly into the stage) – flash tries to resize the SWF to include all the elements in your animation, on stage and off. I have also sent you an animation of a globe, to your e-mail to check it out (add our SWF in Photo Wall, should work).
The last problem with the settings.xml values might be due to your browser caching the old XML files, and even though you have modified the files, you are still loading the same values from cache.
If you are still encountering problems please send us the link to your website.

Posted 4 months agoMy customer wants to rotate 2 Flash ads, both SWF files. I have downloaded the Banner Rotator and am at a loss of how to configure. Please provide guidance for the following:
Do I put the SWF files in the images folder?
Do I list the SWF files in images.xml?
If so, do I use the <photo> tags or some other tag?
If not, do I create another xml file? What are the minimum required settings and syntax for SWF files?
Thank you for your help.
Hi,
1. Yes, put the SWF files in the image folder.
2. Add the SWF files in the images.xml like this:

Posted 4 months agoI have bought the premium package. I like the product. I am using the calendar. Is the only way to input calender events into the event.xml file by manually entering them. Is there a form, or some automated way. When I edit the events file, the calendar gets into a loop and will not open.
Thanks

Hi,
The only way to add events in the Calendar FX is to manually edit the Events.xml file and add yours in it. The Calendar FX from your website doesn’t work because you’re missing http://www.malco.com/2010_newmalco/Events.xml file.
