Of course, you only have to set <position value=“bottom” /> in settings.xml file (that is the default value anyway)

Snowcat,
Firstly I’m using the free version from flashxml.net
I am getting a:
“internet explorer cannot open the internet site…. operation aborted”
error.
Any Ideas.?
I think I got it solved.
I loaded it in an iframe instead.
It may have been clashing with other swfs on the page.
Hi!
I need your help! I would like to embedding fonts in Flash CS3.
I need special characters: “éá??úöüóí”
Thanks Sza!
Is there an alternative to _self in the images.xml file ? I’ve tried this and it doesn’t work.
_blank does work but I would prefer it if new pages open within themselves and not seperately.
regards

papai.szabolcs, please follow these steps:
Edit the XML file with a text editor (i usually use Notepad++) and set the format of the XML file to UTF-8. In Notepad++, from the menu, Format -> Encode in UTF-8. Type your tooltip text in CDATA tags for each image (in your UTF-8 formatted language) and Save the file.
In the FLA file create an empty text field on the stage using Text Tool (put it anywhere just make sure it doesn’t contain text or it’s not visible). Click on this newly created text field on the Stage and go to Properties panel (Ctrl+F3) and select a font which you know it contains all the characters you need. Click Embedding and select (using Ctrl+Click) all the character types you need (each selection increases little by little the SWF size).
All you need to do now is to click on the Carousel instance on the Stage, go to Component Inspector (Shift+F7) and for fontFace type the name of the font you used on the empty text field you just created.
nocky1972, I just tested the behavior for _self and works just fine. Just remember to test this on a HTTP server (not locally) and to clear your browser’s cache after a change.
Thanks Snowcat ! will do.
Just one more Q’n if I may – What xml code is used in the images.xml file if I want to add a e-mail link to one of the image lines ?
thanks

Hi Snowcat,
I have sent you an email regarding my query, to date have had no response, maybe I will have more luck posting it here…
I have recently purchased your 3D Carousel component. Great product, thanks. I have a question that I am hoping you can answer;
When an image is clicked I would like to trigger an action without moving to a different frame for example revealing a hidden MC and loading an external image / SWF into it, depending on which image is clicked determines which external image / SWF is loaded. Is this possible? If so please could you give me an example of how to capture the event, my actionscript2 skills are very limited!!! Would the following be a starting point;
var event1:Object = new Object();
Carousel.addEventListener(“thumbPressed”, event1);
event1.thumbPressed = function (obj:Object) {
trace (obj.id);
}
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I’m unable to make a link using LightBox in the XML file : <photo image=“images/img_test/01.jpg” bigimage=“images/img_test/big/01.jpg” url=“javascript:GroupDelegate(‘img1’)” target=”_self” lightboxInfo=“Optional description for image 1”><![CDATA[Texte<br/>image 1]]></photo>
(I’ve try it before : it works on a simple link on the page ie : http://www.ego-design.fr/rds/packaging.html)
Thank you for your help
Greetings-
We purchased several of the 3D Carousel Menu FX scripts to use on our commerical sites.
I have been having trouble trying to link the larger photos (in the lightbox feature) to an html page. I did get it to work with the small images by changing the url in the xml file. I would like the large images to link to different pages.
I tried the following code in the xml file but it didn't work for me. url="javascript:GroupDelegate('images/01.jpg','html','An html page')"
This is how it looks without the changes

Hi,
The Lightbox is a free JavaScript application that it's not developed by us. We only use it on our products. As far as we know, the feature you want it's not implemented into the lightbox.
It´s a really nice component.
I use AS3 and I need the componet use a new settings file when I click over it (displaying diferent images) .
I try whit this code, I´m ok? I noted as3 component does´t show settingsXML / imagesXML on inspector component window...
addEventListener("thumbPressed", thumbPressed,true); function thumbPressed(event:Event):void {
trace("thumbPressed " + carousel.id); var flashvars = {}; flashvars.settingsXML = "settings2.xml"; }
we buy 3d caroussel and in as3 we can't access like it's sayed to : carousel_instance.imagesXML = "images.xml"; // IN AS3 we dont try AS2
changing it in the setting file dont change nothing too. have you an other solution than making URL rewriting on apach ? thx
Snowcat,
I'm having some problems with the 3d carousel menu xml. It appears to be some sort of relative path issue.
The problem is when I'm trying to call the carousel from another SWF file (another of your components, the media slide show). One of the nodes in the media show has a linked SWF file that contains the 3d carousel, and it doesn't seem to be able to find the XML file for its images list. I'm trying to keep individual components in their own directories, so I have the carousel, images and XML files in a subdirectory under the main HTML/SWF file.
The problem is I'm calling the carousel SWF from another SWF loaded in an HTML page using SwfObject.
I'm getting "Error #2032: Stream Error" and the displayed path is leaving out the subdirectory, so it's obviously looking for the images.xml in the same folder as the HTML and SWF file.
One of the flashvars in my SwfObject call is params.base = with the full URL path, and that doesn't work. I've been driving myself insane trying to figure out how to get this to work.
If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
What is with carousel under Firefox? In Explorer working fine. In Firefox don't display carousel. Look here: http://frederique-morgaine.com.pl/frederique-morgaine.html, choice "KATALOG" from menu and next "The Greatest .... ". Please test this in Firefox 3.6 and Explorer 8.
Anyone know why under Firefox don't working?
Hi Snowcat - I've got issues when trying to use this Carousel as an Advert-Skyscraper. I think it's because of the external XML-Files - is it possible to configure the Carousel "absolute" in the swf-File, so that no cross-Domain-access is necessary? What about the .fla? (We've got the multiple-License)
Thanks in advance Sven H
can the xml file be set to display an larger image of the thumb on the same swf file?
where is the documentation for this? I have purchased the commercial licence.
I'm beginner,so my question is how to integrate or paste these files(i downloaded the free version for probe) in my html files.I work in Dreamweaver 8.Plz helm me!Thanks in advance!
I'm having trouble customizing the height and width of the thumb images...It should be pretty easy, but I'm missing it... Any thoughts?
Hi, The free download works fine on my desktop but when I put it up on my server, the images don't show up. (they are in my main images folder and the xml files in the main directory). The download did not include a FLA file.
Thanks

Hello,
I know this is only marginally related to your product but here I go: I would like to use the carousel as a main menu for my site and have it appear by itself in the middle of the page (basically centered in any browser on any screen). Would you have any idea how to accomplish that? Thank you for any help you can give me.
