paco36075,
This is not possible with this banner. I think you can find similar ones by searching through other flashden files.

Great file! I was just wondering, what part of the code can I find where to change the rollover part of the banner? What I really want to change is the light tint the happens when you rollover the main banner. I don’t know if you’ve answer this earlier, but if you can get back to me, that would be great.
Thanks

renoramirez,
You can remove that rollover effect in the following way:
Open the source fla and go inside the movieclip “bannerMc”. In the actionscript, you can see the functions linkOver () and linkOver(). Remove all the lines inside that function.
huseyin,
In the content swf files, you should have no animations on the first frame and the first frame should have invisible rectangle with desired size. If you follow that it will work smoothly.
If you still have problems, contact me through my profile page and I will go through the files.

I looked through the comments and didn’t see a related question so forgive me if it’s a repeat.
I tried adding buttonLabels to my items and the boxes appear empty when shown vertically and still show the numbers when shown horizontally
here’s my test page: calvarysawgrass.org/test.php
Also, as a suggestion, it seems to make more sense to reverse the order of the timer and the buttons when they’re shown on the left side (meaning the buttons being on the left edge and the timer being to their right).

kr4zy,
The number buttons being empty: If you use the embedded font version this will work correctly, but for non embedded version, we need to do the following step to make it support your own text:
In the source file, go inside the library symbol “Number_Button_Item”. You can see a text field there and select it and click “embed” button in the properties panel. Select the first 4 options (upper case, lower case etc) and publish.
If you feel it is difficlut for you to do by yourself, contact me through my profile page, and I will send the file. (I didn’t made it in default version because it will add more file size).
For the horizontal version, I didn’t made for custom text as it required complex coding as well as final output may not look nice.
Regarding the order of buttons on left side, yes that should be the right way, I will revise it in next update.

Benpai,
You need to change the font by editing the source file. If you are unable to do it yourself, contact me through profile page.

patcheung,
Yes, you can have any number of slides. It is easy to add/remove through the xml file.

When you set the buttons to align left and if you have labels the text over flows outside of the banner and clips. It would also be nice to see auto adjusted widths for the labels. Not all labels are the same length and it looks weird with variable sizes for each button link. It would be great is all of them were the same width. ie: Current: Africa Canada
Also, I cannot get html links to work and clicking the banner doesn’t do anything (should take me to the page). This happens in both examples that come with the .zip and to a custom one I’ve done.
It would also be nice if we could use CSS styling via a style=’’ tag rather than the font tag as that is a deprecated html markup tag. The better way would to be able to define an id or class to style it inside an external style sheet, though.

d’oh it linked my example rather than displaying it…lets hope it works this time. Current:
| Peru |
| South Africa |
| Canada |
Perferred:
| Peru- |
| South Africa |
| Canada- |
assume the -’s are spaces. The point is that the button lables are all variable sizes based on the text and it looks much cleaner if they were all the same width as the largest button label.

tekmosis,
1. Yes, there was a bug on button alignments while aligning to left. I have corrected and updated here (emailed the file to you aswell). Also now it has choice to make the buttons equal (or not) in size on custom text (but the option is on the first frame of the source file, not in the xml file)
2. I think the links may not work due to browser’s restrictions. It works fine on any webserver / localhost.
3. No plan to add CSS options as this may not be easier if the xml user is end client with minimal knowlege in html / css.

VF, any plans to update this to AS3 ? My project is AS3 . I would prefer to buy this type of product from you as I’m EXTREMELY impressed with your Zoom/Pan component I bought!
