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.

Posted 7 months agoI downloaded the popout-gallery and would like to only have 19 images and not as many as are in the sample. How can we decrease the number of images. As when we remove some of the image coding from the images.xml file the images won’t blow up.
Hi,
The images are actually expanding, but the value is so high that it actually expands past your view point. Edit the settings.xml and change the value of <expand value=“1000”/> to something a lot less, like <expand value=“50”/>. If this expand is to little experiment with different values. Also, while editing the XML, disable your browser’s cache to make sure you are always loading your latest edits, and not a previously cached file.

Hi,
Sorry, but couldn’t navigate through your website to check our component because it requires logging in. Please send at support[at]flashxml.net the login details to your FTP account to check out what you have done so far and see what the problem is.

Posted 7 months agoHow do I change the size of Weather Widget FX ? I’ve put it on my site at http://www.clareroots.org/joomla/crs/index.php/home and want to reduce the size to, say, 25% of its present size. I’ve tried fiddling with componentWidth and componentHeight but that simply chops off the edges of the widget so that, for example, the button for moving on to the next day disappears.
Hi,
You will need decrease the value of <appsize> in settings.xml, also.
e.g:
If you want to resize the buttons, you will need to edit them and to change their dimensions. The icons for buttons are located in the assets/skins/skin1 folder.

Posted 7 months agoAs I indicated in my previous post, I have tried installing your software on my web server just to make sure that the issue was not with my web server .
I installed the files from the demo folder and have them running on their own , but I just cannot embed your scroller into my web page. If we can get this figured out I think I will buy the scroller and the 3D marguee as well.
