XML Banner Rotator

nice

Excellente’

Nice!!!!!!!

do you have an as2 version?

Simple , and very useful

liquid …. congratulating

Thank you all.

Great little tool but I do have one, (hopefully simple), question for you. I have the banner working so the images load properly, but I cannot get the buttons to show up for some reason. Here is the basic structure of my file:

Home.fla (which calls upon and loads the banner swf file) banner/ banner.swf / banner.xml / images / sequence of images

The buttons load perfectly if I do everything in the banner folder; but once I call the banner.swf to load outside of that folder, I lose my buttons. I have picked through the actionscript but can’t see anything that would cause this to happen. Is there something I may be overlooking?

Thanks!

Hi

Nice script, but I have a question. I’m using it to scroll thru photos that have been uploaded by a User. They have all been resized during upload to be the same width, but are varying heights. If a photo is too tall, is it possible to crop any excess height rather than compress it to fit, and if it is too short just show it without stretching?

I’m using a MySQL database and parsing the output to XML .

Thanks

I figured out the reason for the buttons not appearing on the screen; it turns out that I had to place them based on the positioning of the parent file and not the child… all works now. I just altered the AS to position them where needed.

One other question though… if I wanted to only have the buttons act as buttons and not the entire image, what would I have to alter in the AS?

Hi,

Can the buttons be removed while the images just keep looping?

A question : does your SWF can be inclued in another SWF file without diifuculty ?? Thanks for your answer.

If I use

width:850 height:530

The buttons were not visible. is there any specific ratio?

Thanks

I am having the hardest time getting the banner rotator to show up? Which code needs to be added to the html page for it to show up?

Hi, thanks for great works. I have a question, can we modify url’s target. For example when you will click on a image, it will open new window. I want to use in same window ? Can you help me ?

Hi,

It is one of my oldest banners so you will have to edit fla file to achieve that. At the end of the code you will find following function:

function myButtonFunction(event: MouseEvent) { var url = photos[playback_counter].@URL; var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url); navigateToURL(request); }

change line navigateToURL(request); to navigateToURL(request, “_self”);

If you are unsure how to do that contact me via mail (through my profile). Thanks.

Hi,

I’m using swfobject to embed the swf into an expresseionengine template. I can’t seem to get it to load. It just sits at the loading screen.

A non-xml .swf loads fine. I can’t figure out what the problem is.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Adam

You’ll see that it just sits at the loading page.

If you go directly to the file: http://www.bottlerocketcreative.com/clients/ist/assets/flash/ist.swf

You’ll that it loads.

Can’t figure out why it won’t load on the main homepage. I’ve set up swfobject just as I usually do.

And as I mentioned, if I load a non-xml .swf into the homepage for testing, it works fine.
