ecubs68,
I imported the banner.swf file in your html from yahoo store and everything works fine.
All you need to do is set the right path for images in the images.xml file.
And center a little bit the div that contains the SWF file.
For example:
In your images.xml file I saw that you set the follwing path:
<photo image=”/lib/yhst-14427755313056/01.jpg”.....
By settings this path should work:
<photo image=”/01.jpg”.....

Hi Guys.
Once I purchase this software. Must I still use the above generator to develop my bannners?

Yes you may still use it.
All you need to do is copy the xml content that is generated when you press the Generate button. And paste it in your settings.xml file.

When I expand an image in your sample above then escape from it, the content area borders are restored but the image remains at its enlarged state.

Hello,
There is no documentation or instructions for using the Banner Rotator FX. Could you please send a link?
Thank you

It is truly great. I love it! However; is there also a way to keep the cursor from becoming a finger when it is moved over the banner. I am not using the “link to url” feature and would like the cursor to stay “normal”. Thanks.

Michael, we didn’t implement this feature. So if you’ll send me the commercial archive that you purchased. I’ll make some modifications on code and after that, I’ll send it back to you so you’ll have no longer the hand cursor appearing when mouse it’s over the banner.

Hi, I just bought the Banner Rotator FX. I want to make a full-screen running loop of photos with transitions between each photo with this component (sort of like a screensaver, but I launch the file, rather than it kicking in on X minutes of inactivity.). I want the photos to fill up the entire screen, and still have the transition effects work. When I click the “fullscreen” button, the effects no longer work correctly. But because I won’t know the display resolution settings of the PC that the screensaver will be played on, I can’t just set the bannerWidth and bannerHeight values to match the display resolution. I wish I could, but I won’t know the resolution of the PC it is played on. How can I make this banner rotator go full-screen (regardless of the PC’s resolution) automatically upon launch of file AND still have the transitions work correctly? Thank you very much for your help.

Hi again,
I should add a couple of points to my earlier message to clear up confusion…
1. I will be convert the banner.swf to an .exe using MDM Zinc. I will then run that .exe and related files (e.g. images, settings.xml, etc) directly off the person’s own PC to view the photos like a full-screen running loop, sort of like a screensaver. This project will not be on a web server/web site. Just running straight off the person’s own hard drive to view on that LCD screen. The hitch is that I won’t know the display settings resolution of the person’s screen, and I won’t be on-site to change the bannerWidth and bannerHeight variables in the settings.xml file. That person isn’t technical enough to understand how to change that. So I need a way for it to just adjust automatically to full-screen and still have the transitions between each photo (including zoom) work correctly.
I did test just manually changing the bannerHeight and bannerWidth values to match my own display resolution settings, and the transitions/zoom worked beautifully full-screen by doing it manually. It would be cool if I could just say bannerWidth=100% bannerHeight=100% to fill up the screen, or something to that extent. (I tried that, but no luck.)
Here’s the rest of my earlier message:

The thing is we disabled the zooming effect because it was eating a lot of CPU.
You could follow the steps below if you want to make the banner appear in fullscreen and have the zooming and transitions, effects enabled.
Open the FLASH IDE and create a new Flash File (ActionScript 2.0).
First you’ll drag&drop on the stage from you Components window (Ctrl+F7) the Banner component.
If the component Banner doesn’t appears in the Components window, you’ll need to install it using mxp file that is found in the commercial archive.
Give an instance name to the Banner using Properties window (Ctrl+F3), for example: bnr.
Open the actions panel (F9) and write the follwing code that resizes the banner dimensions to screen resolution:
bnr.bannerWidth = System.capabilities.screenResolutionX;bnr.bannerHeight = System.capabilities.screenResolutionY; Stage["displayState"] = "fullScreen";
Run the SWF file to see the results.

I am having some trouble with the text options. I set the textBackground type=“wide”. Everything comes up great with the included images.xml file, but when I change the CDATA, it changes the layout. I want the titles to appear in a bar that occupies the bottom third of the banner. When I change the CDATA, it changes from a horizontal bar to a vertical bar. How can I change the CDATA and keep the formatting?

great tool so far. only thing I can’t figure out is how to remove the cursor/thumb from the appearing on the embedded flash object. i’ve removed the #href in the index file and the url from the photo definition, but the cursor thumb still appears.

how do you stop the swf from caching the images!? i’ve been doing some testing w/ dif images sizes and now it’s inserting the old images randomly w/ the new images. i’ve renamed the swf, set no cache in browser, updated the swfobject js, changed image names, changed the image xml filename. nothing seems to matter. it’s almost as if the swf has it’s own cache somewhere.
also, it doesn’t want to apply bold to the text for some reason, neither inline or the css file.

chrisgardner2,
The width is automatically calculated in function of the text length. That’s why if you insert a text with a smaller length the text background will have the height of the banner and the width of the text length. If the inserted text will have a larger length it will happen viceversa.
You could insert a text with a larger length or some blank spaces in order, the background to appear as you desire:
<photo image="images/01.jpg" target="_blank" duration="5" effect="ken burns" dur="12" direction="bottom" width="500" hpos="center"> <![CDATA[<head>FlashXML.net </head><body>FlashXML.net</body>]]></photo>
ahaselby,
To remove the hand cursor you’ll need to send me your archive that you downloaded. I’ll make some changes on the code and after that, send it back to you.
Try to clear your cache each time you choose different images.
You can’t use bold style because Flash is very poor at rendering html content. So the CSS style that can be applyed is very limited.

After spending hours looking for Banner Rotators yours is by far the best and most flexible I have found. You should work on your SEO so people don’t have to search as long :)
I do have one issue which may be a html problem, not sure. I have the “BannerDiv” in a table should I still be able to use Full Screen Mode or does the table prevent this. Full Screen will not function?
I searched the site and comments and could not find an answer..
Great Product Any help appreaciated..

pitchin1,
When you press the Full Screen Button the banner it will extend its dimensions, but not crossing the table’s bounds.
So making the banner to appear in Full Screen mode depends of the table bounds.
If the table has the width and height setted from HTML code to 1200×520. Then the banner, on Full Screen click, will have the same dimensions as the table (1200×520).
