Hi Snowcat:
This is a fantastic menu, and I have it calling up a sized window using javascript – which works correctly. Thing is, every once in a while the menu goes spinning like crazy when the popup opens. I‘m using url=“javascript:pop_video_window(‘http://www.myurl.com/index.html’);”
Any ideas? Please help.

Hi Snowcat,
Everything ‘s going well in the “Carousel menu” when I put png files.
But when I want to use the “Carousel menu smooth” for blur option, there is a white background behind my transparents icons.
What can I change in the code to keep png transparent = to remove this auto background ?
Thanxs a lot.
Wonderfull work !
It is a nice little script. The only change in functionality I would like to have is to stop the carousel when the mouse is over the main image in front. As soon as the mouse moves away, it should resume the carousel. Please let me know how can I make this change.
The component works great! I have just one problem that sounds like other people have had, but it has not been answered.
If you publish an .html file out of flash the component default is aligned left-top, but if you change the publish settings html in flash to be Dimensions: Percent and Scale: No Scale and Flash Alignment: to Center (to get your flash file centered on the html page) the component will not be centered depending on the size of the browser window. If the window is sized to exactly the size of your flash stage than it works, but the minute you resize your browser window bigger than the stage and refresh, than it goes off. Snowcat you have any answers to this?
im having trouble embedding the flash file into Dreamweaver. I insert the .swf file as a flash file but it shows as a blank white box in preview mode. Anything im doing wrong?
Thanks,
Jon
Just wanted to ask if anybody would know why after loading all the files via ftp to my hosting, my .swf Flash movie will not show. I just purchased from you. I can see the actual Flash outline but no movie. I do not know if the problem is in flash html code or my hosting.
The flash movie works fine when viewing in Dreamweaver but when loaded up no movie just the frame with text “Alamo Web Design Portfolio”. My link is http://www.alamowebdesign.com/Portfolio.html.
Is ther any applications that need to be turned on on my hosting account?
Please advise…Thanks Armando Ortiz
I suppose it‘s due to png format
I have the same problem with an other component.
Thanks for this nice file!
My project is in AS3 so I‘ve exported the AS2 carousel to a swf file and loaded it inside a MC on my AS3 project.
But how do I make the URL links link to a frame instead? I‘ve seen the following code several places, but what do I write in the XML file then?:
this.onPress = function() {
if (i == 2)
getURL(urls[i], target);
else gotoAndPlay(i);
};

Hi snowcat.
First of all: thanks for this little great Flash-Component :-)
I use the vertical variant (Demo 3) and I want to use tranparent images of Products. They all get white backgrounds in the carousel. Both as gif or 24bit pngs.
Any idea to solve this?
Thanks in advance

joncahill, armandotop: it's all about the SWF file finding the XML file, and XML file finding the image files
Heidemann: I'm afraid you cant link to frames in your AS3 if the original file was written in AS2
icmedienhaus: you'll have to use as a starting point the "carousel menu.fla" file instead of "carousel menu smooth.fla" which doesn't work fine with gifs and pngs
Hi,
First thanks for this great carousel component!
It works very well for me when using english info text, but when I am trying to display text in french the accents do not show up.
Could you help?
Thanks,
Christophe
Hi,
Do this: open the FLA file, go to the Library (Ctrl+L), double-click the description_text symbol, select the text field on the stage and in the Properties panel (Ctrl+F3) click Embed and select there all types of characters you like.
Regards,
Snowcat
You have all of these porperties listed under the Features tab, but I don't see anywhere to change them.
tolchinj, open the FLA file, go to the Library (Ctrl L), double-click the carousel_container symbol then go to the Actions panel (F9)
Hello,
When I publish the carousel, I have blank page with errors messages:
The class or interface 'oxylus.carousel.Carousel' could not be loaded.
The class or interface 'oxylus.carousel.Thumbnail' could not be loaded.
I don't understand, I haven't even change something yet...

Hi,
I looked to this component and it?s exactly what I?am looking for to my website, it?s perfect!
Before buying it, I would like to ask you a doubt I?ve got.
When you set the target URLs of an image, is it possible on mouse click, sent to “next frame” (to stay on same .swf file where the component is) instead of open a new webpage as you say in your?s overview above?
Thanks
I like your component. Excellent job!
Before I buy your Special Packages, I wonder if the following idea would work:
I want to be able to have your carousel on the left of my page (flash site), and be able to click on a picture (carousel) and open a separate explanation on the right side of the page (outside the carousel limits). So I still see the carousel on the left, but also the new “window” on the right (of course this new “window” will be located on a different frame on the same timeline or imported using a component loader). but, since on your sample everytime you click, the carousel get replaced, I don’t know if my idea is possible.
Thanks!
nunocardoso: yes, it’s possible, you could do it by changing the url attribute in the XML file with a frame number to go to when clicking each thumb (for example url=“3”, then in the ActionScript code from the FLA file replace the getURL function with gotoAndPlay(Number(urls[i])); (or gotoAndStop). It’s up to you to add specific action (ActionScript code) for each frame.
totomeriles: that can be done how I just explained. To be able to keep the carousel all the time in your movie, insert a keyframe (F6) on each frame you want to add ActionScript code on the carousel’s layer (the background layer should have the same length as the carousel layer, or you could just have the background layer deleted). You might want to call stop(); on each frame you’re adding code.
tajned: it’s not my carousel you bought
Hello Snowcat,
Is it possible to put a picture at the center of the carousel? It ‘s just for the look&feel. I would like to have the carousel around a picture.
Thank you,
exo
Hi I was wondering if it is possible to use rollover images as the buttons in the carousel menu. In other words (if I am not being clear) can I have not simply just an image that will be a link but can i have it so that image changes when rolled over as well as linking?
Thanks so much you do great work!
Jeff
Hi, it’s possible but you’ll have to know how and where to add some ActionScript code for this functionality, so an average Flash knowledge is required.
Thanks
Hey nice job with the carousel! I just bought it and got it working fine.
Next step: I’d like to use images.php instead of images.xml so I can generate the image list dynamically from a database.
I have the images.php script working perfectly to spit back the xml exactly in the format the carousel wants.
How do I change the carousel to read images.php, or any other file name for that matter, instead of images.xml?
Is there a parameter I can set in the HTML? (I’m good with HTML and PHP but I have 0 flash experience.)
TIA!
Also, I forgot to ask… How do I change the background color of the carousel?
THANKS!
I am trying to pull in thumbs from a different host. Is it possible?
I have tried to setup the xml file to pull in YouTube thumbs, but it only displays the image in the mirror effect. It does not show the image normally though.
I know that YouTube allows for embedding their thumbnails. I just can’t figure out how to get them to show up in the carousel.
Thanks, Jereme
