This component is provided as a compiled installable .mxp component (we do not provide the source files for it). You can set the XMLSource parameter through ActionScript once only – only for the initial load. You do this using init, like this: wall.init(“xmfilename.xml”);

Thanks for your response. We would also like to set the base path for the Images programatically. We would like to specify only the relative path of the images in the XML file. The component should be able to use the root path set and append the relative path from the XML file to load the images. How can we set the base patch for the images from the code?

1: Is the scrollbar fully adjustable in size? We need it to be bigger (aprox double size in height).
2: Or will it be possible to replace the scrollsbar with big arrows ( 50?50 pixels) pointing left and right?
3: Can I link the thumbnails to an external swf. file, flv.movie, or create a image link to a website??
4: And is it be possible to and sound fx on buttons, scrollbar or thumbnail clicks?
This is just some things we need to know before we purchase this product
Thanks in advance
lightbulb,
Here are the answers:
1. The scrollbar is customizable and skinnable so you can make it bigger.
2. You can make it move left and right using arrows through some ActionScript coding.
3. You can open any link when clicking on a thumbnail through ActionScript events. This version can only load images inside the component.
4. You can add sound effects using ActionScript events.
Hello,
Am trying to understand something. So it is possible to link or anchor thru an image on the 3d wall to an .htm, or .swf ? How does Active Script allow this?
Thank you!
This is a great product. We use it in many of the Electronic Business cards we develop for companies!

@tommyboy:
You can use the ActionScript events that are built-into the 3D Wall to perform any action on clicking on an image. You can also assign parameters to each image in the XML file. This way, you can tell it to open a URL or to load an SWF that’s entered in the parameters for that image.
If you need any more specific instructions, please contact us through the private message section and we’ll be happy to help.
Hi,
I need to know how can I add another attribute to the xml. I need to add an attribute for a description text, I know you already have the “<param/>” but I am using it for a link, and I can’t use the split method for the description. Is it possible to add another attribute in the xml and how do I adress it in the actionscript?
thanks
You can actually now include any additional parameters for each image in the XML like this:
????<img src=“tree.jpg” name=“tree” desc=“Big tree” /> <img src=“house.jpg” name=“house” desc=“A house” /> <img src=“car.jpg” name=“car” desc=“Red car” />
You would the access that parameter in an event using the getUserProperty method like this:
title_txt.text = evt.image.getUserProperty(“name”);
Please download the latest userguide as this includes these updated instructions.

Hi again, thanks for the help.
I have a new question though.. Can I make the scrollbar invisible when I click on a thumbnail and the large image is on? and make it back visible when the thumbnails are back in.
Thanks
@rita – this option is not possible so it is best to place the scroller outside of the component area so that the large image will not appear under the scroller.
@MTINET – we will reply to your questions by email.

Hello
I am a web site building novice I understand a little of what Html & CSS does but i do not write code . I have some notion of what flash is but no indepth knowledge .I can cut and paste if i am told where to paste in simple terms . so here is my prepurchase question
1 can I with my skill level put you flash gadget in a self hosted wordpress site ??
2 What file sizes are behind the gallery in your full screen demo ,(this question is because file size is a limiting factor in the sites I build (becase of low broadband speeds in areas remote and without fiber optic .Thank you I look forward to your reply
@webworks,
You will need some basic knowledge of Flash in order to place the component on the stage, set the correct size, background color and publishing settings. You will also need Flash CS3 or CS4 for this.
You can put it on a Wordpress site, however it is not just one file to upload as there will be the Flash SWF file as well as the XML file and the images. Your best way to do this would be to ftp all of the files to the server instead of uploading through Wordpress.
The published size of the Flash file is about 90-100kb. The end file size will depend on the file size of each of the images (thumbnails large images). If you add all of them up you’ll get the end size.
I want to change the content of the wall with some Buttons. So i have some rubriks i wanna show. Could i load different XML-files at runtime and display new Content?
@sloop
Yes you can add buttons to change the XML file dynamically (this feature requires the latest version which is available for download).
I need to make the xml images file dynamic. Currently it’s a param of the object. Any way to accomplish this so I don’t have to create a new page for each collection type?
@tomricejr
We’re not exactly sure how you’re doing this. If you set the XML file to be a php or asp script that dynamically generates the XML then you can send a parameter to the script to do this.
If you need any help with this, please contact us without the messaging sections.
Thanks.

360 degree inside curvature –
Just got the package and am trying to set this up as (360 degree inside curvature). Add the media example #6 into dreamweaver and it’s just the black background, scroller bar, and zooming text etc… no pics
@mjwisdom,
You must ensure that the XML file is in the correct relative location to the HTML file in which the SWF is embedded. It’s simplest to save the HTML, SWF and XML files in the same folder and to have the image folders inside that folder too.
You won’t be able the preview in Dreamweaver without previewing the HTML file in a browser.
If you need any further assistance with this, please contact us through the messaging section and we will be happy to help.
Thanks.

Trying to reference the XMLSource param via FlashVars… how do you recommend doing this? So that the XML can be changed within the same SWF.
Also, is it possible to make the thumbnail go away after the full image is displayed? Currently when someone clicks a thumbnail of a portrait style picture, the thumbnail still displays as landscape behind it.
@taylordigital
Can cannot make the thumbnails disappear that are around the full size image. The only way to do this would be to make the large image bit enough to fill the size of the component.
For the XMLSource via FlashVars, you can read in the FlashVars value and then initialize the 3D Wall with the XML filename from the FlashVars like this: wallinstance.init(xmlfilename);
If you would like any assistance with this, please contact us using the messaging service of this site.
Thanks.
Hi, can we have this gallery read from an external XML, and pass the XML file as parameter from the HTML.
Yes, you can specify the name of the XML file in the HTML file through flashVars and then you can read this value through ActionScript and use wallInstance.init(xmlfilename.xml) to initialize the wall with the variable XML filename.
Please message us if you need any assistance with this code.
