Hi I am having a couple problems setting this up I am sure it is my fault because I am new to flash. I purchased this file because it is easy to start with so far I have uploaded all the files, and changed the path in the DATA file but nothing shows up on the site also is the data file where I changed the path what goes into the html? If not which part does ?

I have never used flash so I thought the instructions would tell me how to set this up on my site. Thanks

I hope the email I sent you is helpful. But in-case others might need the same help I’ll post it here.

Inside the _ExampleHELP_swfobject.html file you can look at the source code. And there are 2 things you need to add to your html file where you want it to show up.

1. put this in the tag of your html file. You will need to load the swfobject.js file, and put it somewhere on your server.


<!-- Element that flash is loaded into -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/this/file/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
            var flashvars = {};
            var params = {};
            var attributes = {};
            swfobject.embedSWF("path/to/your/flash/file.swf", "load_flash_slideshow", "590", "300", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>

2. Then put this where you want the slideshow to show up.


<!-- SWF Object <a href="http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/">http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/</a> -->
<div id="load_flash_slideshow">        
    <p>Content that will be replaced once loaded.</p>                
</div>

If you still need help, you can send me a url to a test page, and I can see what might be the issue.

Thanx buddy – I already solved it by myself: The answer is to copy all the files into the exact same directory as the page lies. No Submenus like “Slideshow” in the “My Homepage HTML Files” Folder. You know what I mean?

It worked that way already and everything is fine. I still gave your great file a 5 star rating.

Have a nice weekend and thanx for the response!

I have been using use this on my clients website for a number of months now – works great, love the simplicity – but I really need it to pause on the rollover – it’s feels like a race to click through on the image before it changes. Also if it could dim, highlight or darken the image on the rollover as it pauses would be great. Do you know if there is any way I can add this functionality?

Thank you

If you have access to flash it could be added, but would require some knowledge of actionscript. I will look into my file and see if more settings could be added. The initial intention for this file was for it to simply be what it is – a basic slideshow. But…I have had a few people request a more robust version. So I will definitely look into it, but it won’t probably get done within this month. I hope that helps, even though it isn’t soon. I will contact you personally when it is done.

Sorry @infullmotion this won’t work with AS2 . The transitions I use are built for working with AS3 .

does this have a next and previous button functionality?

jernigani replied

No, @thewillage I’m sorry it doesn’t. It is a very basic slideshow, and doesn’t have that built into the file. I wish I did have more time because it’s definitely on my to-do list of features to add to this file. If I add it I will definitely inform you.

Hi, and thanks so much for the great slideshow! It is exactly what I have been looking for!

ALTHOUGH I HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM ….. I NEED ACTIONSCRIPT 2 .0 AS EVERYTHING ELSE IN MY FLASH FILE CAN ’T RUN IN ACTIONSCRIPT 3 .0 – are there any changes i can make to make this work? unfortunately if not, this file is completely unusable to me!!

also was wondering how to stop it from automatically resizing the images.

I need all my images to be exactly 623×592 (and have resized the files to this) on the page to fit in the place i have set for it

any ideas?? thanks!

@snez_4eva I am sorry that you are having some issues. I hope I can help. Unfortunately it seems you didn’t check if this file was for AS3 or AS2 . Currently I do not have a AS2 version for this file. I am really sorry that you didn’t see that.

And I think the resizing issue can be resolved by setting the stage size to the dimensions you would like when in flash and reexporting the file.

Again, I’m sorry you are having some problems and hope you can resolve them.

snez_4eva replied

Thanks for the help jernigani,

I’m very new to AS and flashden so I didn’t realise that I would have to check that before I downloaded- my bad I guess.

At this stage I think I will just have to fade the images manually in flash instead of with AS – too bad because I was really looking forward to seeing your slideshow on my site! Hopefully I will be able to use it on a future project instead so the file wont go to waste on my computer (since a refund isn’t really possible when the error was on my behalf!)

Is there any export settings I could use that might allow me to embed it in my AS2 file? I know the file size would be bigger, but it might still be smaller 9and easier) than trying to import each photo into flash and manually create transitions.

Any ideas/tips would be fantastic!

You’ve got a great file so I hope you get more downloads in the future!

Thanks again

@snez_4eva Well you should be able to import a SWF file into either AS2 or AS3 no matter what the Actionscript version of the SWF file. So you could make an exported version and then import that into whatever you are making. Just search online for embedding SWF files with Actionscript. I hope that helps.

Pre-purchase question: Does this allow independent duration times for each different slide?

It currently allows for different transition times, but not different times for each slide. I’m not sure why I set it up this way…

Thanks. This is just what I need. It’s working fine, and I really appreciate all the attention to detailed instructions, especially for a novice like me. You actually taught me a few things!!! So many thanks.

My problem should be simple to solve. I want to place the slideshow swf in another flash portfolio template. And it’s all working except for the sizing. The window I built my images to is 800×430. The images display larger and are cropped off. How do I make images sized to window?

Many Thanks…

jernigani replied

Set the value fullsize to be empty instead of true.

fullsize=""

That should stop the cropping from happening.

This is great but why is there a white flash before the slideshow starts? How do you remove this?

Also did you ever make it so you can just cycle through the images once?

jernigani replied

I’m not sure what white flash you are talking about. Does it happen for you in different browsers? Or is it a specific browser? Is there a live url I can see what you are talking about?

I will look into making the flash file cycle just once. If you have flash I can probably walk you through how to do it yourself. If not, I can send you an edited version.

i’m having the hardest time getting this to work. even straight from the download, i put the .jpg files in the images folder, change the xml file, and it comes up blank.

here’s a sample <image href="C:\Users\ZACH\Desktop\rotator\rotator\images\8.jpg" transitiontime="1">8.jpg<\image></image>

am i doing something wrong there?

here’s what I’ve tried live on my site

<image href="http://www.festaparties.com/html/festa/flash/rotator/images/1.jpg" transitiontime="1">http://www.festaparties.com/html/festa/flash/rotator/images/1.jpg</image>

does that look right?

also, does the code mentioned at the top need to be in the header, or above or below the code? I’ve tried it all.

it just comes up blank both on my site and from the folder. when I right click on the page, it says the movie hasn’t loaded.

here’s a link to the page I’m working on so you can see the source code.

Hmm, it seems that some of the files aren’t being loaded.

AC_RunActiveContent.js http://festaparties.com/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js
images.xml http://festaparties.com/festa/flash/images.xml

I would check and make sure that the file path is correct for those files. When I try and go to them directly they don’t work.

I have the data.xml as the same folder as the cleanslideshow.swf file, but the slideshow is not playing. It is coming up blank on my test web page. Your instructions say to change the path, but what do I need to change it to? I didn’t change the path because the files are located in the same folder, but it is not working online.

(Your instructions) Flash Setup

The only thing you need to change inside your flash file is the path to your xml file. The variable to change is at the top of the flash file. It has data.xml already set for you.

I am a graphic designer doing basic web design, so please explain everything thoroughly. Thank you!
