Short explanation on how FX components read XML files
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";
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.
Hi,
I do not want to have the movies played on the flip book. How can i remove it?
any help will be appreciated.
thank you.
Hi,
You have to delete the media attribute and it’s value from your images.xml file.
Ok, thanks, I’ve sent you an e-mail.
Hi,
Here is the link to our website (it’s in Russian) and the “problem” albums:
http://www.turizmvnn.ru/cont/show/296/
http://www.turizmvnn.ru/cont/show/537/
Will you try scrolling at different speed levels? But still it does not work properly….((
If you scroll through any other albums but these two (the biggest), it works wonderfully!
Many thanks for your support!
Hello,
We checked both your albums and they appear to be in fine working order. Could you please send us some screenshots of the problem at *support[at]flashxml.net” ?
Hi, Great files. I am trying to setup the latest Banner Rotator in wordpress3. I am using it on localhost to set it up. I have changed the images and the images xml file but i keep getting your original images. I have tried reinstalling your plugin as well. What am I doing wrong?
Hi,
If you added your own images using the same name as the old ones, you’ll have to clear the cache of your browser to see them. To avoid this you could use different names for your images and update the images.xml file accordingly.
Hi,
We have installed a free version of the image-scroller at our website, it works all right if there are fewer than 100 photos in the album. But if they are that many, the line becomes blur, we can’t see either the following or the previous images in the line, there are just some black and grey stripes, but images are not downloaded in the line. If we scroll the images, still it’s the same. So, what does it depend on? Is it due to the number of photos in the album or are there any other reasons? If we install the commecial version, will it work all right?
Thanks for your help and support!
Hello,
Please send us a link to your website and we will look into the problem.

Hi,
On what component are you talking about?
Hi,
I am trying to embed the “carousel gallery.swf” from a subfolder to an HTML file in the root.
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
Here is the code in HTML file: (I have also installed the “swfobject.js” in the root)
<html xmlns=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml” xml:lang=“en” lang=“en”>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=“Content-Type” content=“text/html; charset=iso-8859-1” />
<title>carousel gallery</title>
<script type=“text/javascript” src=“swfobject.js”></script>
<script type=“text/javascript”>
var flashvars1 = {};
flashvars.folderPath = “carousel_gallery/”;
var params1 = {};
params1.scale = “noscale”;
params1.salign = “tl”;
params1.wmode = “transparent”;
var attributes1 = {};
swfobject.embedSWF(“carousel_gallery/carousel_gallery.swf”, “ComponentDiv1”, “800”, “700”, “9.0.0”, false, flashvars1, params1, attributes1);
</script>
</head>
<body bgcolor=”#09151a”>
<table align=“center”>
<tr>
<td width=“100%” align=“center” valign=“middle” height=“100%”>
<!—url’s used in the movie—>
<!—text used in the movie—>
<!— saved from url=(0013)about:internet —>
<div id=“ComponentDiv1”></div>
</td></tr></table>
</body>
</html>
Thanks
Hi,
I’m sorry but this feature is not implemented for this component.
Hi,
im using weebly.com as my website and currently having a problem to use banner-rotator. Im not quite familiar with this “coding things” and need help regarding installation to my web page.
Could ‘support’ help me on this?? – how to manage which files in which folders?? – how to make it works in the first place??
Hi,
You would need to have all files uploaded to your website and from weebly editor you would have to add a custom html code that embedds the banner rotator swf file. Here you can find out more about the embedding code.
good night, I downloaded the ( cover flow FX ) is very good, but I can not use the method ( flashvars.settingsXML) to use other settings.XML file, when I use the method exemplified by you (flashvars.settingsXML= “settings1.xml”;) the file settings1.xml is not changed, still carrying the file old settings.xml. I have done all the necessary changes in the file settings1.xml to use image1.xml. it’s all in the same directory but does not work. what am I doing wrong?
Hi,
Please redownload your archive just to make sure you’re using the latest version and try again. In case you’re still having issues send us the link to your website and we will check it.
is there a way to make Flash XML Banner Rotators expand with the browser.
For example a viewer zooms in right now the banner becomes small.
please help
