You can use your own custom buttons with the file. Just move the buttons within their clips, and they will move in the exported swf.

Hi, nice file!

I want to purchase your your file but i have a question. Can it be used for a full screen background?

If it can or you can modify this for me i will buy it immediately!

Thanks!

Hi, nice idea about making a fullscreen option. Unfortunately this file can’t got to true fullscreen at the moment but I could add this as a feature.

You can’t open a browser page with fullscreen flash though. The flash player can only go to fullscreen after a mouse click. So you would need to press a button to see the content at the fullscreen dimensions.

Also it is possible to display the slideshow at the browser window dimensions by adjusting the HTML and setting width and height to 100%.

Love the Flash piece and bought it. However could you modify the code so it utilizes baseURL? Reason for that is when the swf file is located in a virtual directory that is away from the other files, none of the paths seem to work.

Hello, yes in theory I suppose what you want is possible. I haven’t tried anything like this before but I could probably make it work.

Normally if someone wants a small modification to a file I would try to do that for free but I think this would be a bit more complicated than that. I would have to charge you a bit extra for making a change like this. If you’re ok with that then click on my avatar and send me an email. Thanks.

This is what we did at the end, hope it could benefit the others:

if(_root.baseUrl) {
    sPath = _root.baseUrl + "transitionData.xml";
} else {
    sPath = "transitionData.xml";
}

Hey is there any chance it can be set so it starts with the transition when its finished loading the images, instead of just appearing?

Cheers

Sorry no, it is not set up to do that. The first image is in place after preloading, that is the default behaviour and you can’t change it through the XML file.

Hi, I am very new to Flash but I know lots of other technical stuff, so I thought I’d be able to easily do this, but I have two small issues:

The buttons: I resized the area in both the XML and in flash to accommodate my larger images. It worked! However, the buttons now appeared in the middle of my screen. I decided to choose “custom” and use the buttons in the FLA file, and two things happened: 1. your original buttons don’t go away; 2. my new buttons don’t function. Would it require a lot of info for me to remove your buttons and make mine functional? I will pay if it requires a lot of your time to explain.

Second, I want the user to control this—I don’t want it to loop automatically. Is that possible?

Thanks,

Rich Metter

Hi, did you replace the original buttons with the new buttons in the FLA library? You need to replace the old buttons in the library, and give the new buttons the same linkage id as the corresponding old button.

You do not need to place the new buttons on the stage. They are added automatically. Just make sure the new buttons have the right id and the old buttons are deleted in the library, then the file should work fine.

If you don’t want the slides to loop automatically try changing the timer to timer=”0” in the XML file. Hopefully this will work.

I drop the .swf file into WordPress Template and i get the error: Error: XML file transitionData.xml not found.

The file transitionData.xml is in the same folder as the .swf file. Is there a way I can get it to find the file?

I don’t know much about WordPress but you could try using flashvars to send a variable to the swf movie with the url you want to load.

In an HTML page you just add the flashvars variable. The variable name is xmlLoad, so you just need to send movie this data – xmlLoad=yourUrl. Change yourUrl to the absolute path name for your XML file. It should work.

2 questions:

1) is there a way to have the images displayed in the center of the canvas, so if you use a portrait image it does not justify to the left?

2) And if you can do this it would be nice to be able to make the background the same color as the stage. Can that be done?

Unfortunately there is no way to jusify the images through the XML file. It is simple to do that in Photoshop by changing the canvas size, although you will need to change each file.

If you want the background color to be the same as the stage, try making the image a png with alpha channel transparency. The SWF file itself can also have a background transparency.

I cant figure out what i am doing wrong. When I resize slide show I can only get it either resizes my images too small with extra white space around them or resizes the slide show to 590×300 when my image is the correct size. I made the size correct in photoshop and defined the size in the HTML file and the XML file. I am trying to make the slide show the size of my images (574×218).

Hi, are you sure you resized the SWF properly in the HTML ? It should resize fine. If you can’t figure out how to do that then open the FLA file in Flash and resize the stage. Export the SWF and it will be the correct size you want.

Hi there, Thanks so much for the great file. One question, though. I have updated and modified the XML and flash file to transition with the images and effects that I want. You can see my work so far on this link: http://13standard.com/KKI/flash/index2.html. As you can see the next button triggers a “transition=”Slide+direction=r”” effect. Can the previous button be changed to have that same effect? Right now if you press the back button the images don’t slide, they overlap. I can’t find any information on this in the actionscript or help file. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks so much, Elissa

I just created a new XML SlideShow and I am seeing what appears to be (a cropped piece of) a watermark in the lower right corner of my images. How do I suppress this?

Hello
Just adjust the HTML attributes, or javascript attributes, to change the size of the SWF movie. Then adjust the XML file to make the image size 900X300. You do not need to recompile the SWF by opening the FLA . Google how to change the dimensions of a SWF movie if you don’t know how to do this.

I am trying to get my version to display 600×600px but it just will not. I have changed the width and height in the .xml file as well as in the three places on the .html file to no avail. Please let me know how to resize this. I was under the impression that flash was not required, and do not have a program to open flash files.

Thanks.

Hi, There are two possibilities to solve your problem. Either you haven’t changed all the necessary HTML /Javascript attributes or you have a caching problem. As long as your image files are 600X600, and you are adjusting the correct XML file it should work fine.

Hello. I purchased your file and it is very easy to use.

Is there a way to display two slide shows on one page? Of course they would require two different xml files.

Thanks!
