    gunner1095, you can provide an XML file dynamically for Flash following the steps provided at this article:
    http://www.flashxml.net/add-get-and-post-variables-to-flash-files-through-flashvars.html
    For basic instructions on how to use my Flash files read this one:
    http://www.flashxml.net/basic-instructions-on-how-to-setup-snowcats-flash-products.html


    mhancoc7, show me an URL sample from Youtube, because I’m not familiar with these images
    Normally, you can specify any external image to the “image” attribute in the XML file, like:
    image=“http://yourserver.com/photo.jpg”

    My flash doc is in AS3, and I’ve loaded your AS2 carousel into it. As said earlier, I want to jump to another frame on the main timeline (in AS3). But isn’t that possible because my doc is AS3?


    You wrote this:
    “nunocardoso: yes, it%u2019s 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%u2019s up to you to add specific action (ActionScript code) for each frame.”


    With this I can jump to another frame in the carousel timeline. But if I want to jump to another frame in the main timeline could I write something like this?:


    _root.gotoAndPlay(Number(urls[i]));


    or how do I jump to the main timeline?

    I’m having problems getting the carousel to load…. Any ideas where I’ve gone wrong?


    You can view the page here:


    www.christinafrench.com/sienna


    It’s being loaded into a php page, I’ve done all this via dreamweaver. From the looks of it the file can’t find the image files although they are there. I uploaded the carousel_commercial directory complete to the root of the site. Was this correct or should I upload the contents of the carousel_commercial directory to the root of the site?

    bettsaj, most probably it’s a path problem, the SWF file and the XML file and the images folder should be in the same folder

    All those files are in the same folder. I've created a folder called "carousel" and put all the files in that. I've then uploaded the entire "carousel" folder to the root directory of the site.

    Please double-chieck that in the XML file the “image” attribute for each picture indicates the right path to each image?
    If it still doesn’t work, send me a private message with all your files attached

    I’ve checked the file paths and everything seems ok. The file paths are as follows:


    Path to flash package files: Siteroot/sienna/carousel/files from package


    Path to php page that carousel is embedded in: Siteroot/sienna/includes/languages/english/html_includes/main_page.php


    i have tried every possible combination of file path, i have put the flash package files in the same directory as the php file and still no luck. I have put the carousel directory in the same folder as the php file with no luck… this is so obviously a file path issue but I just can’t get my head round it.


    The paths to the image files have remained unchanged as they came out of the zip file. I did however try changing the file paths in the xml file to the relative location from the site root but that didn’t work. i’m at a loss.


    i can’t attache any files as I haven’t got the option with PM’s… If you give me your email I’ll happily send them via that.

    How do you resize the entire carousel flash file. When i resize it, it cuts the images off and the mouse no longer moves the images. Could you provide an html sample for resizing?

    I appear to be having the same problem as Nikhil Shah below. When you initially load the page the carousel is where it should be…. in the middle of the page.


    However, if you then refresh the page the carousel appears on the left hand side and not centered. I have checked both my clients site that I’m working on and Nikhil Shah’s site and both sites are displaying the same problem.


    This appears to only be an issue in IE7. i’ve tried it in Google Chrome and Firefox with no issues.


    Have you got any ideas as to what’s causing it and what may be a solution to the issue. my site can be viewed at

    Hello any one Please help me, i am new to advanced-3d-carouse, i am trying to display two more animations in a single page (each files have different set of images) but both flash files displays the same image. I don’t know what to do. Please help me.

    Context:
    I%u2019m creating my website using only Flash.
    SWF "B" contains 3D carousel. I set the images on the carousel to point to other frames within the same SWF "B" (I pointed the images to frames 5, 10, 15, 20). It works perfect!
    SWF "A" is the main movie that contains the button that calls SWF "B" by using a Loader from Flash>Components>User Interface.
    Problem:
    Although SWF "B" works perfect when is tested individually, it does not work when is called by SWF "A". Once SWF "B" is nested in SWF "A" and I click the images, instead of showing frames 5, 10, 15, 20 of the SWF "B", it shows frames 5, 10, 15, 20 of the SWF "A".
    How I set it:
    I changed the url attribute in the XML file with a frame number to go to when clicking each thumb (for example url=“5”, then in the ActionScript code from the FLA file I replaced the getURL function with _root.gotoAndPlay(Number(urls[i])); It didn%u2019t work without _root.
    Since SWF "B" is in its own folder, I also had to copy the XML file in the main folder where SWF "A" is because SWF "B" didn%u2019t work, it didn%u2019t load the images (once called by SWF "A"). Why? I couldn%u2019t figure it out yet.
    Is this a path mistake? Please help.

    I give up. I bought carousel commercial. Opened it in Flash CS3. Looked in Actions for code to change images. No luck. Thought I’d try to at least publish the carousel (as is) into an HTML using Dreamweaver CS3. No luck . . . Still no images (even though I have all the files in the same folder). I’m hoping I’m missing something really simple.

    I’m having some problems with the carousel. Sometimes it works fine, but once in a while, some of the images won’t load, and sometimes the layering position – “z-index” – of the objects in the carousel is wrong, so that the smaller images in the back are in front of the bigger images in the front.


    Any clues of what’s wrong? Any help is seriously appreciated …

    i got the menu up and running but the image’s url links are not working. you click on a picture and nothing happens. Can someone PLEASE help me, i’m using a trial of flash CS4 and it expires in 2 days (too broke to buy the software). Is there something wrong with my xml? this is what the path looks like:


    <photo image=“http://e-bookmillionaire.com/flash/images/01.jpg” url=“http://somedomain.com” info=“This Is A Title” />


    the url is an example, but that is the correct format right?

    Hi all, and excuse me for not replying sooner!


    I was working really hard on a much improved version of this carousel, and the result is this


    For those who already purchased this, I will try to help you with the problems you’re having with the current version, please send me private messages if you still didn’t managed to fix your issues. But I would highly recommend you to upgrade, you won’t be disappointed!


    For future buyers, I will not support this product any more, but if you still want to purchase this version and you encounter difficulties at any point, the solution will surely be this new version


    Thanks

    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 ?

    Hi Snowcat,
    LOVE your stuff.


    I have this carousel on a page, and when you click outside of it there is a 50% shift to the left in IE7.


    I changed the document size in flash to 480 × 370. And I changed the size of the carousel to:


    actualWidth = 123; //The actual images’ width
    actualHeight = 123; //and height (the images which are going to be loaded through the XML file)
    Ratio = actualWidth/actualHeight;


    imageSize = 60 ; //images size
    RadiusX = 175 ; //images X radius
    RadiusY = 450 ; //images Y radius


    The carousel is a little large for the window-the sides get cut off a bit, and I’m ok with that, but I don’t know why that would cause it to shift.

    Hi, as I already said, I will not support this product, as I released a much better improved version, 3D Carousel Menu XML 3.0 , which fixes most of the bugs from previous versions.


    Please upgrade to the new version (you will only pay the difference from the two prices)
