Danny’s issue has been resolved. He was receiving the error due to the fact that the paths to the assets were incorrect. A new FAQ has been created to help others resolve this issue (if it arises).

Dan, thanks again for the purchase and your contribution to expanding support for this product.

The banner and its management tool work perfect. The support team is excellent they resolved my issue painlessly.

This script is great. I tried another CMS and you couldnt mod the sizes without knowing how to develop completely in flash, with this it is simple, just edit the swf dimensions from the flv, and then make sure your embed code/php config file match the size, and embed using the js, and there it is. No embedding complications on Social Media! Thanks.

The only thing I wish is there could be a back/forward button. Otherwise perfect in every way.

hi Veiko, at first glance i think your issue is the fact that one of the links in your xml file is filled with special characters.

email me at support@thewebprojects.com there’s a period on my email address in the last post. thanks.

Hi!

How can I change the position of the “navigation menu”? I want it to be more at the bottom on my file format “615px / 350px”. With the original position, the menu is right on the middle. Please, help me!

Great job by the way, very well documented and structured.

hello and thanks for purchase,

if you wish to change the position of the group of buttons open ‘smart-banner.fla’, view actions panel, and you’ll see a series of variables you can set. change ‘BottomMargin’ from 20 to 0. that will place the button group at the very bottom of the stage.

a function that would be great if you could ad it is the ability to re order the ads, and when you delete an ad, delete the corresponding image/swf file. I noticed a glitch when i had to re-add a graphic I had an error on, and i had to log on the the ftp and delete the file, then upload it again…that applies if the name of the file is the same, it has no over-right ability.

hello, thanks for the purchase.

yes, the ability to reorder the banners would be great. that will be the primary improvement on the next version. i think i’ll build it so the user can drag and drop banner boxes in the desired order.

regarding the override. in my tests the uploaded file did override existing files. it may be a server configuration. i’ll look into this further.

thanks again.

I’m having a weird problem. I edited the php5 file so the banner will be 200×200 pixels and then I created 3 200×200 images to use as banners. The images are appearing really small on the rotator even though the rotator itself is 200×200 still. Any idea what could be the problem?

hi ‘PortGalaxy’,

thanks for the purchase.

it sounds like you did not resize smart banner itself. open ‘smart-banner.fla’ resize the canvas to 200×200, export and replace ‘smart-banner.swf’. that should do it.

if you continue to have issues email support@thewebprojects.com. i’d be happy to help.

Hello,

This is such a great tool – I’m having a little trouble with it though.

I set everything up according to your documentation and the banner shows up in the management tool

http://jewjewart.com/management-tool.php5

(password is temporarily set to “smartbanner”)

but when I click on the link I just get a black web page and when I try to embedd the .swf file into an html page I also get a black box where the .swf should be.

if you need the embed code I’m using let me know – although it was just whatever dreamweaver outputted – not much of a coder I’m afraid.

Thanks!

hi. thanks for the purchase.

on the management page, the link to the .swf takes you directly to smart-banner.swf . the .swf by itself doesn’t know where the xml file is so it doesn’t know where any banner are to rotate them.

when embedding the smart-banner.swf into a .html page be sure to use ‘sample.html’ as an example. you need to send a flashvar to smart banner so it knows where the source xml file is.

if you continue to have issues feel free to contact support@thewebprojects.com.

Thanks for making this easy to use management tool! Is there a way I can display navigation buttons for “previous” and “next” instead of all the buttons for slides?

hello ‘dhavaljani’, smart banner doesn’t come with next/previous buttons by default. that would need to be custom coded.

Oh! Thanks… I also wanted to know that the transition fades to black, can I have it fade to next slide instead?

hi, smartbanner assets exist on 1 layer so fading 1 banner into the next isn’t an option without custom coding.

Hello,

I would like to buy this rotator because it looks very easy to use. But before purchasing I would like to ask somthing. I would place this rotator to different places with different sizes to our shopping site. The site is an CMS and i have to upload the swf only. Is this possible and what should the settings be also for the path of the files etc…?

Thanks for your response in advance.

thewebprojects thewebprojects replied

hi ‘xeryus’, thanks for your interest in smart banner. hmmm… the site is a cms. that leaves some questions, but generally you set the management tool path relative to the domains root so if smart-banner.swf is at www.yourdomain.com/swf/smart-banner.swf you enter the path swf/smart-banner.swf. as far as the xml file, it’s easiest to use full paths to your banners. i hope this helps.

PLEASE tell me why this banner rotator keeps repeating the flash before going into the next banner. It is very glitchy. It loads the flash for a second, then repeats the load and continues playing to end, then goes to next banner. Also, it locks up at times. I have cleared my cache.

I am using AS2 in the banners and some have pause scripts at the end of the timeline. Have any ideas?

Also, I could not get the managment tool to work but I could care less right now. I just want it to load smoothly.

Please help, thx!

RESOLVED repeat problem. It was my own pause script…

stop(); setTimeout ( function() { play(); }, 8000);

Thought you should know in case someone else asks.

HELP —Management tool Error

I keep getting this error after entering my password

"XML file did not load"

I have tried several paths, verified the path, set permissions and NADA . What am I doing wrong?

hello spoiler, thanks for your interest in smart banner and the management tool.

the error you are receiving is not doubt from an incorrect path set in the management-tool.php5 file. the paths need to be relative to the domains root so if your xml file was located at www.yourdomain.com/xml/smart-banner.xml the correct path would be xml/smart-banner.xml.

if you continue to have issues email support@thewebprojects.com. i’d be happy to help.
