SLIDESHOW - XML

a little new to xml. When i upload the swf and the images, the settings.xml, and the .as files, do i put them all in the same folder?

because i can type in the address to the swf and it works fine, but if i insert the swf into a php page it wont work and i cant figure out why?

Thank you for this excellent and easy-to-modify file. Knowing nothing about Flash or Actionscipt, I was able to stumble my way through a few minor size changes and get a landing page header working for a pending site. Currently has 24 images and captions randomly cycling. Definitely gonna check for your newest stuff every time I sign on. I can’t seem to locate what your credit requirements on our site are for this – please advise. Thanks!

I meant are is there a credit/copyright for you that we need to include somewhere on the site where we are using our version of this file?

If anyone wants to use a dynamic xml value here is how you can do it….

In your HTML call the swf object like this….

src="path/to/swf/slideShow.swf?xmlSource=/path/to/xml/settings.xml" 

_root.trackXML.load("settings.xml");

to

_root.trackXML.load(xmlSource);

Hope this helps someone….

yeah, ive moved the settings.xml to the root directory with no effect.

its just not working. it does work here though http://www.clear-fork.com/slideShow/slider.swf as long as its stand alone.

please advise.

Do you have an option that allows this xml file to have rounded edges? Thanks. jayquizzel

I used Flash cs3 professional trial version to change the size, I used the file slider.fla change the size and in actions.as i change the size as instructed in help but when i test the project it gives me an error like:

Error opening URL ‘file:///C|/Drop%20Box/The%20slider%20%2D%20upgrade%2004/deploy/undefined’ Error opening URL ‘file:///C|/Drop%20Box/The%20slider%20%2D%20upgrade%2004/deploy/undefined’

Can you help to fix this?

Thanks for your help that solved, but another seems to rise! pictures do not match the size of the new player which is 660×300 still pictures will show in this new player with 590×300 despite the change in the size of the player

After resizing the player the caption(text) becomes too small, how can we change the size of the caption(text) to the desire size.

Hello, I have just put this viewer on my site, but it stops when trying to load a .gif image. jpg’s are loading correctly.

All images are exported from Psd (save for web & devices), no interlace / no progressive…

Images have the correct name <imageName title="" link="" target="">/portfolio/p_din_h2.gif</imageName>

What could be wrong?

Thanx in advance… Jeroen

I am looking for a slideshow that I can add a border/frame clipping mask to. Is it possible to do that with this flash player? It needs to play withing a non-square clipped area.

Hello, Awesome slideshow! I already resized, test it, and everything is fine, I’m just wondering how can I move the control buttons to the bottom of the slide show, on the right. I already searched the actions.as but I don’t see any “positioning” parameters in there, can you please specify exactly what to change in order to move the control panel to the bottom?

Thank you!

One question that I have is: I’m trying to use this on a website that is going to have a lot of different slideshows, each one is going to show on a php page, like slideshow.php?id=58 so the slideshow.php is going to connect to the DB and get the URL for the images of ID 58 , so referring to this comment:

In your HTML call the swf object like this….

src=”path/to/swf/slideShow.swf?xmlSource=/path/to/xml/settings.xml”

then in the action.as file change this line

_root.trackXML.load(“settings.xml”;

to

_root.trackXML.load(xmlSource);

Hope this helps someone….

How can I do it to have multiple slideshows, but without the need to have 50 or more settings.xml files (settings1.xml, settings2.html, etc)?

I don’t know if I’m being clear but what I need to do is that when someone goes to page.php?id=58 the slideshow is going to show the photos for ID 58 on the Database but I don’t want to have a settings58.xml I would preffer to interact the XML with the flash instead of creating different XML files for each slide.

I would appreciate your help.

Thank you.
