CAROUSELDESIGNER is the most advanced and best sold carousel on FlashDen
In this version I’ve added all wishes people would like to see in CarouselDesigner and have told me about in the past 3 months. I’ll tell you what’s new (and what’s old) in short:
New Features This version allows you to choose whether to show a tooltip box, a subtitle with the caption text, or both! Now you can also have more lines of text in your caption.
If you want to make various carousels, but don’t want to upload a zillion copies of the viewer.swf file, you can now choose a xml file defined in the html! So now you only have to make several .xml files.
You can now autoRotate the carousel. Just choose an interval for how long the carousel should show an image in front before it rotates again. If you don’t want this function, just disable it!
Another new function is that you can put an object in the center of your carousel. This can be done very easily, it’s all in the documentation file.
Last, but certainly not least, you can now activate a loadMovie command when an image is pressed. This means you can easily use the carousel as a navigation for your flash website.
Bug fixes
The v1 had a bug causing some images to flash when there were a lot of images in the carousel. I’ve fixed this bug, now you can put in as many images as you like 
Also, you can now safely loadMovie this carousel in any of your projects, without messing up the reflection.
Furthermore you can now load swfs instead of images without losing it’s functionality. In v1 all button actions in the swf were disabled, now you can choose whether to enable or disable these.
Old features The following features were also available in the v1.
The carousel can load jpg, png, gif and swf files (png, gif and swf files may be transparent, swf files may be animated).
The carousel offers a great way of linkage. ou can choose whether the link is an external URL , a frame number or a frame label. You can also set the target (either “_blank”, “_parent”, “_self” or “_top” when the link type is “URL”, or a movieclip reference (from _root) when it’s internal. As stated above in this new version you can also choose to loadMovie a file.
Well documented This file is very well documented. To show you here’s the documentation file:

I purchased the carouseldesigner v2. and it seems to work great. However I am getting comments from users that the reflections are missing below the images when viewing the carousel in both IE or FireFox. Here are the items I checked - The data.xml is set correctly. - We have cleared the cache of any user who can’t see the reflections - Updated users to the latest Flash add-on
Can anyone suggest any other troubleshooting ideas that I may be missing? Thanks!

This is a great product, thank you so much!
I have a question regardin calling SWF ’s from the xml file.
How would you make it so the movie only starts playing when it’s in focus as the front image?
I just did a quick test and the movie plays as soon as it loads no matter where it is in the carousel. I only want it to start playing when it’s at the front.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Ian.

Hi, Just purchased and I have three questions:
1. How do I remove the center object when using ‘viewer_no_options.swf’ ? I don’t have flash so I can’t recompile the .fla source. I tried adding ‘useCenterObject=”0”’ to the .xml file hoping that would work, but it doesn’t.
2. How can I change the colour of the caption text?
3. How can I move the caption text higher? I’m setting the height to about 250px and the caption text is not visible where it is.
Thanks!

spadachris, please take a look at the documentation.html file. You don’t need any Flash knowledge to get this done.
biren, depending on how experienced you are with flash, I’d say you added a single flashvar with a unique ID or something, and pass it on from inside my flashfile to the xml file it loads. The xml file then should’nt be an actual xml file, but for example a .php file outputting the xml info according to the unique ID you assigned. So for example you make it load data.php?uniqueID=1234

cwoodward, I’m not sure what could be causing this. It appears indeed that on some computers the reflections don’t work properly. I’m still hoping to find out the why some day, but thus far I haven’t been able to. I’m sorry.
allen, in the carousel movieclip on line 106 it says:
if(autoRotateSpeed != undefined && autoRotate){
Change it to:
if(autoRotateSpeed != undefined && autoRotate && overNumber == ""){
Ian, I emailed you about that one. Same goes for Peter.
Whitesell, For all these things you do need flash. I recommend you download the flash 30day trial from adobe’s website.

Hi, how to change the image source…from photos to MovieClip. And is there anyway to code the xml so instead of round carousel…it turn into other shape (square for e.g), Thank you

Hi budihh, To load a .swf movie, just put in the path to your swf file. You can’t load movieclip’s from the library.
Also the round shape is the only shape.

Hi Jurgen
I’m thinking about buying your cool flash-files, as part of a new website. I want to use your “CAROUSELDESIGNER V2” as a menu. And therefor need to know if I can call a certain image to the front through a link?
For eksampel: “flashfile.swf&xmlLocation=data.xml&SelectItemNumber=5”
Where the SelectItemNumber variable sets the flash file to select the fifth item or image in the XML file.
Best regards Robert
