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.

Hi

Is there a way to use accented characters (e.g. “é”) with the Banner Rotator?

Thanks

Hello! and thank you!
I just downloaded the menu and unzipped it. I did not upload it on the server yet where I have my website but I open the index on the browser. None of the links work. An error message appears, a pop up with a title Adobe flash player security. Is there a way to attach the image so as to see the message? Please help me. I need this for my website but what do I have to do?

Hi,

You’ll have to test this component on a local server if you want to open in browser a new link when you click on a image.
This way will work.
