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 agoHi,
I am really excited about getting your products on my webpage! I think it would be a great addition to my tech support website that I am building. I have not had any success as of yet. Please be aware I have limited website programming knowledge, concerning html code.
I have downloaded the imagescroller and copied the contents of the imagescroller folder to the same folder where my index.html file is located. I can upload image scroller demo to my server and it runs fine on the server, I just cannot add it to my webpage.
i have made the edit to my index.html file as described in the installation instructions. Please take a look and show me the error of my ways.

Hi,
I have taken a look at your site, and I can’t find in this folder
http://www.gpsprioritysupport.com/gpsps
any of our files, neither the .JS, nor the .SWF. Please make sure you upload the component’s files and assets to this folder. If you are encountering problems please send the FTP login details to support [at] flashxml.net.

Posted 7 months agoI’m trying the weathr widget but it seems to default location to wherever my ISP connects to the internet – example, I am in Malaga, my ISP routes through Madrid – so my default weather location is Madrid
How do I change that please? Am interested in buying the component provided it will give me local weather, not somewhere 500 kilometers away
Hi,
You need to edit the settings.xml and enter the default location for the weather widget in this attribute – example

Posted 7 months agoHi, I’ve purchased a HTML content scroller and the proble i have is that i am trying to load differents fonts using the option
font-face { font-family: Vladimir Script; src: url(“VLADIMIR.TTF”) format(“truetype”); }content1 { font-family:Vladimir Script; font-size:12px; color:#FFFFFF; font-weight:normal; text-align:justify; margin-right:10px; margin-left:10px;
}
3. I’ve puted the VLADIMIR.TTF file in the same directory of the css file
and there is no way, i can not do it to work.
Hi,
If you want to embed a new font in HTML Content Scroller FX you need to follow the next steps:
1. Open settings.xml and change the value of <embedFonts> attribute to true.
2. Embed the font into the FLA using this tutorial.
3. Update the value of font-family attribute in assets/css/style.css with the new font name like in the following example:
content1 { font-family:Vladimir Script; font-size:12px; color:#FFFFFF; font-weight:normal; text-align:justify; margin-right:10px; margin-left:10px; }You don’t need to add this line: font-face { font-family: Vladimir Script; src: url(“VLADIMIR.TTF”) format(“truetype”); }.
Clear your browser’s cache and reload the page before testing the changes.

Posted 7 months agoI am trying to customize Photo FX for my website, however I dont see manual explaining how to use it. My frist concern is, how can i pass the location of the xml file to flash component. I want to have something like product_ID#.xml. I can tell where the settings.xml file but not the images.
Also, what other parameters can I adjust?
Hi,
You can just add the flashvars.settingsXML in the embedding code to make it point to the the settings.xml you need
Each settings.xml can have another images.xml which opens new images, or have a new color scheme, etc.
In your example it should look like this:
You should also look into our other FAQs, like folderPath issues, and publishing a component multiple times. Regarding your last question, what would you like to customize?
