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.

Hi there,

I just bought your wonderfull rotator FX but got a little problem now. I replaced the .swf file as prescribed and uploaded a couple of my own pictures. But the box is still empty…..

With other words, i didn’t see my pictures. What could be the reason for that?

Thank you so far.

Sander

I do not see the text within the gallery for Accordion FX gallery. I set all the setting corect in the xml file using the “generate” on the website. But text is still not showing on my site. Does it depends on the size of the image?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi!
I’m simply trying to add more photos to my cover flow… When I first set up the thing I managed to get the 8 photos you see up and running, and looking just how I want them. Now I’m trying to add more photos to the flow. I put (uploaded) 5 new photos into the images folder that has the other 8 that are working, and I updated (uploaded) the images.xml file to include the information for the 5 new photos (formatted exactly like the previous 8). But, when I hit refresh on my browser to see the result I still only see the original 8 photos, and not the new 5! What step am I missing? Is there a limit to how many photos can be in the flow? Is there a cumulative file size limit? I’m so frustrated… i don’t remember it being this hard the first time I did it, which leads me to believe that I am doing something spastic! Please help me troubleshoot! :)

Hi,

I checked your website and it seems that you have as many photos as you want. Clear the cache of your browser and try again in case you’re still having issues with it.

Hi,

I am using your excellent flash banner rotator and I wanted to know if it is possible to adjust the settings somehow so it will show a simple static image as a replacement if flash is not installed on the browser viewing the website.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Chris

Hi,

If you used the swfobject method to embed the Banner, then you can add your alternative content between the <div id=“BannerDiv”> and </div> that you added in the body of the page.

There is no doubt that technically all problems will be solved and and xml is independent to any server it will adapt to all type of websites made in any framework like drupal.Your special package is so economical,it would be real sevice to society.My query is about defining the term “individual” and Client in reference with ur Licence.I have about 30 domain in the name school,ngo or just for passion to be taken.now I am designing free.In future suppose I sale domain with design what would be status of License?wether it would be owened by me (individual) or by Client.Please favour me to clear this terms owened by Individual or Client.
If I become a office bearer of any ngo or educational institute what will be the status.Thanks a lot.
