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.xmlmedia.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.

A few days ago I posted this question: “Why am I getting the white circle (turning symbol) between images? I find it very distracting. How do I get rid of it?”
Your answer: “Because that preloader tell that there is an image that needs to be loaded. When all the images are loaded that preloader will no longer appear.”

Now the site is up, if you want to look at it. I guess I don’t understand your answer. I thought choosing “preload” images would not create that circle. What do I need to do differently?

Thanks.

Hi,

You have to change the value of preloaderOptions show attribute to false in your settings.xml file.

I have just become a member and installed Video Player FX to my wordpress theme.When I post a sample and use [video-player-fx][/video-player-fx] as the only content in the post the I see the code behind the player as the “text of content” of my post. When I click on the post header then the video player starts. How can I get rid of displaying the code in the post?

When I use static pages and include the [video-player-fx][/video-player-fx] tags then it works fine.

Thanks

Hello,
I would like to use your image scroller FX. So far it runs fine, and after installing it on localhost, the image lightbox works fine, too. However, the linking to another page / url by clicking on an image doesn’t work (the adress of the url has been specified in the image.xml file). How can this be achieved?
Thanx for your help in advance, yours hansjo

FlashXML Support

Hi,

If you want to have the links working you have to change the value of useLightbox to false in your settings.xml file.
