3D Wheel XML Template w/ flickr & YouTube Support

What is 3D Wheel XML Template?

It’s a three-dimensional flash template powered by Papervision and the custom Quboid framework. Unlikely other templates the content is organized in 3D Wheels delivering a whole new experience.

Do I need flash to use this Template?

No! You can edit nearly everything with the provided XML files. There are hundreds of XML options which will allow you to create and customize your projects out of the box!

If you don’t know how to handle XML files watch this video tutorial.

Can I use special characters?

Yes, you can do this once you have embedded correctly your charset from the flash source. In most cases it’s enough to open the library with F11 and just switch the font.

If you still have issues, then create an empty dynamic text field outside the stage and embed the charset from there.If you don’t know how to add special characters watch this video tutorial.

Keep sure you’re linking the new fonts correctly on both XML setup and CSS classes. You must use the correct font names which can be copied in the trace of the Flash IDE as shown in the guide.

I’m confused, which version should I use?

As stated in the guide and also in the description you’ll get three versions to work with: Embed, Standalone and Template.

The first one suits the most common use with existing projects as it allows you to embed the Quboid viewer inside your custom source file. Just copy the frames over and edit the code as shown in the example.

The standalone is meant to be used inside HTML pages as a simple isolated container with no additional flash linkage.

The template is the most complete solution and includes the whole class-based package. If you want to edit it keep sure you have the required skills otherwhise use the provided XML options and expand it as you wish with additional SWF modules.

I’m getting strange errors about sandbox security or loading errors. What’s this?

Probably nothing to worry about. Keep sure you have published your SWF file in the right place and you’re testing it online. Some files are not allowed to be played locally like youtube videos or flickr photos unless you’re running them in the Flash IDE .

The provided source files publish in the root of the deploy folder, you must drag the flash files inside the SWF folder to get a clean and working site once you open the html pages. Keep also sure your XML links are correct, avoid using uppercase and try using absolute links if it’s not working on your server. If there is still an issue with the loading process, test it in the Flash IDE and watch the trace where it shows exactly the node and what kind of problem occurred.

If you’re loading content from other domains keep sure you’re loading the crossdomain.xml from that domain with the correct rules. Read more about Policy files here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security.html

How can I change the context menu?

You can change the context menu by editing the main classes located in the net.flashedge package. Keep sure you edited both the template and quboid classes.

The strings are located near the end of the file. If you would like to just remove the context menu, find the initMenu(); function call and comment it by adding two slashes before like this
// initMenu();
Save the classes, export the new swfs files and drag them inside the swf folder. Keep also sure you have all fonts installed properly before compiling.

I need a not supported feature, what shall I do?

You can either do it yourself by editing the provided source files or you can hire me and I’ll do the dirty work for you. Just contact me for a quote.
