Aeon XML Banner Rotator/Image Viewer/Video Player

Dear,

Before I start I want to thank for the lack of interest and lack of “support”. Because of that I will present a real solution to this problem, it only took me over 10 hours of work to find out!

Firstly, if someone wants to put this flash in another folder it will not succeed. I say this because the programmer did not bother to explain how to properly install this flash within a website.

The code that come with HTML is incomplete. Though it works in that folder, outside of that will simple not work!

So I recommend changing: var flashvars = (); flashvars.settingsXML = “assets / xml / settings.xml”;

To var flashvars = (); flashvars.folderPath = “http://www.domain.com/FolderWithTheFlashFile”; flashvars.settingsXML = “assets / xml / settings.xml”;

the same should apply to the rest: src=”http://www.domain.com/FolderWithTheFlashFile/swfobject.js”>

embedSWF(“http://www.domain.com/FolderWithTheFlashFile/deploy.swf”

“9.0.0”, “http://www.domain.com/FolderWithTheFlashFile/expressInstall.swf”

From this moment, anyone can place this flash anywhere in the site Sounds simple right? But for non-programmers like me (that’s why we buy these items) it was hard to understand!

Now there is another problem because the flash has to run the xml file that also has to run other files, like .css, xml, etc..

Now what the next step is to CHMOOD files and folders that are within the “assets” folder. If you don’t do this, the flash can not run the files and will not work .

Therefore, with an FTP program (ie: flashxp you should CHMOOD to 777 folders and files within the assets – Maybe 755 is enough, but jst in case…. )

This way everything will go well and smoothly!

P.S – This type of info should come in the “pdf” ....

No offense dude, I couldn’t restrain myself not replying to this but you are just plain rude. The price is dirt cheap here on AD because you get what you pay for. No support included and nevertheless most authors here offer it in the limit of their time. All buyers are thankful for that. In just a few hours you posted 6 times reminding me of a little “Are we there yet?” little boy. I’m sure if you had given them some time they would have solved the problem easily. Programmers do need to sleep, eat, do their job, maybe solve other problems etc. This why it’s normal to give the author some time to respond to your problem, usually 24h . Take care.

Well “dude”, offense non taken. If you think I was “rude”, well I think I wasn’t. Rude for me, was waiting for a reply from the support (and belive me they replied fast! So in that “camp” I don’t have any complains) that come with no solutions and showing lack of effort! However I don’t care about the price, because if you buy something, you should expect getting support (at least thats the way I fell, if you like to buy ad not get any support, is up to you). So please don’t give me “they have limited time bla bla bla”

I also have limited time (do you also care about my time?). That’s why I choose to buy and not to do myself! And time is money! (By the way, this is not the cheapest banner rotator!)

About all my posts, maybe if there was another system, where I could email directly to the author Or maybe, if the support link in this website redirect clients to the “author email” would be more easier …. I don’t like to post “problems” in the comment part, but I was told to do that so I did….

Give them time? Well I could wait (and I’m still waiting), no problem there, but when I’m getting reply from the support saying that is none of their bussiness giving support to itens, where they redirect me to “here” and finally when I post my problem and get a response “you are so dumb, just edit settings file” frustrate and irritates me, because the problem was in the HTML lines…

And since there is a manual, there should be a “complete” manual explaining things correctly and not incomplete. Like the choomod? Lucky I know a few things about permissions in website hostings… if if I didn’t?

And 51 purchases in just 2 months, its more the 1000$ ... so should I feel sorry for the poor programmer ?! Give me a break!

I forgot, the solution explaining also took me 30 minutes (as you can see for my poor english I’m not native, so it takes a little more time to write), and lucly all the 51 clients before me with no problems, I hope I will help the future ones that will have to use this flash on others pages

Hello,

How can I randomize the photos ?

Hi humbertocc,

Unfortunately you can’t. The photos will be shown in the exact order as they are in the xml file.

Thank you!

Hello,

I have a simple problem. The videos on the home page of http://www.tulsafilms.com are stretching out to fit the container, rather than keeping their original aspect ratio. We recently launched the site but the client is upset that the videos look so stretched.

It seems the obvious solution is the go in the settings.xml file and set

However, this has not worked, and the client is getting frustrated. Is this a common problem? Is there a way for the videos to not stretch out like they are?

Regards

Hi,

How can I have url url in image xml, but the links are opening in a new window, how can I make it to open in the same wnidow/tab ?

Hi humbertocc,

To add an url link to an image, simply add the link in the url tag inside the image xml file. Unfortunately we don’t have a “_target” tag so you can’t change the way links are opened. They will open in a new window every time!

Thank you!
Best regards,

Hi,

Just wondering if there is any option to have the video autoplay?

Thanks,

Rush

I love your stuff, the one bad thing at the moment is that I get no reply on my emails for help with a “bug” I found. I might be doing something wrong and there is no bug at all, but any help would be appreciated.

Thank you
