Thank you for the quick response. I see you update often and here is what we would love to see.
The ability to add a radius to the gallery
The ability to add an outside border around this radius with padding options.
The ability to use full screen within a table. I know it can be done as flv video players do this.
THANKS AGAIN FOR A GREAT PRODUCT.. THE BEST!

we have already installed rotator banner fx and we have a problem with internet Explorer 6.0.
The message of the error is " Internet Explorer can't open the site http://<url>/." Operation has been cancelled
Could somebody help us.
Thanks in advace.
Tonis.
Muskitoo,
Here you find detailed explanations on how to use special characters with Banner Rotator FX.
yomiento,
It’s correct but some will work and some not. That’s why you need to go to this “link”:
http://www.flashxml.net/special-characters-for-fx-components.html where you’ll find detailed explanations on how to use special characters with this component.
pitchin1,
What do you mean by “radius”?
I thought you want the banner to have the browser width and height.
Sorry about that.
Try to enter the following line of script for showing in fullscreen in your html file:
params.allowfullscreen = "true";beneath this line:
params.salign = "tl";

If this happes when you click on a image, then it seems that you entered a bad url in your images.xml.
Try to put at the url attribute in your images.xml file a proper url ( ex: “http://flashxml.net”)
“radius” curved corners on the images like the text areas.. Just a feature request. I will try full screen again thank you again for the product!
Thanks. Special characters works perfect.
I have another question. Is it possible to uses a varload for the xml file in the html code?
Thanks
pitchin1,
This feature is not implemented, anyway we noted your down suggestion which we’ll consider for a possible future update.
yomiento,
In your html file.
Write the following line in the javascript block that embeds the SWF file:
flashvars.settingsXML = "settings.xml";
Can I select a specific image other than the first image to open when the banner rotator starts?
I asked this question a while back, and you asked why I would want to do that. Well, I had to set that project aside for a while, but now I’m back on it and really would like this capability.
Here’s why I want it to open the rotator at a selected image…
I am already using your 3D Carousel (great product!) to display small thumbnail versions of images on a web page. I want the user to be able to click on a specific image in the carousel to open the Banner Rotator in a new window, displaying large, full size images of what is in the carousel. I want to start the Rotator with the image that was clicked on in the carousel. It just isn’t intuitive to open the Rotator to the first image when you just clicked on the 10th image in the Carousel. They need to be in sync or the user will get confused.
Thanks for considering my request.
A solution would be to create a html page for each image of the carousel.
In other words let’s say your carousel has 6 images.
In you carousel folder you create a new folder called banner.
There you put the banner.swf file and also you create 6 html pages, 6 settings.xml files, 6 images.xml file.
Each one needs to be named differently.
Like: index1.html, settings1.xml, images1.xml, index2.html, settings2.xml, images1.xml…and so on.
When you click on the first image in the carousel will actually load from the banner folder the index1.html file that has specified for settings the settings1.xml file that loads images from images1.xml file.
Another solution would be to have a single index.html file in the banner folder and pass the name of the settings file through URL parameters.
In the images.xml file for the carousel component at the url attribute you’ll have something like:
banner/index.html?id=settings1.xml, banner/index.html?id=settings2.xml…and so on
Next when you open the index.html file from the banner folder you need to take this parameter and pass it to flashvars:
So you’ll need to write the following javascript code in the index.html file from the banner folder:
Instead of this piece of javascript code that you find in the index.html file for banner:
<script type="text/javascript"> var flashvars = {};
flashvars.settingsXML = settings.xml
var params = {};
params.scale = "noscale";
params.salign = "tl";
params.wmode = "transparent";
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("banner.swf", "BannerDiv", "600", "260", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>Write this one:
<script type="text/javascript">
var obj = location.search;
var param = obj.split('&');
var settingsFile = param[0].split('=');
var flashvars = {};
// the name of the settings file that is taken from the URL address
flashvars.settingsXML = settingsFile[1];
var params = {};
params.scale = "noscale";
params.salign = "tl";
params.wmode = "transparent";
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("banner.swf", "BannerDiv", "600", "260", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>Also you need to have 6 images.xml file and 6 settings.xml file
I just purchased the commercial version… excellent app.
I am having trouble getting the flash rotator to work on my site. It works fine on my local PC when testing with Dreamweaver. However, it will not work once I’ve published it online. The online website shows the first images in the rotator with the “preload image” animation. It never actually starts.
Please help.
I finally got it to work. It was a simple case of using an uppercase letter when I should’ve been using a lowercase letter. For everyone else’s benefit, Dreamweaver seems to ignore letter capitalization. That is why I didn’t bother to check the lower vs. upper case. Obviously, when you publish the website it’s a different story.
i just purchased & downloaded this but full screen button does not work when i click on full screen icon. i dont have pop up blocker or anything. when i click nothing happening. any clue??
In the html file that embeds the SWF file you need to specify one more parameter. The one to allows the full screen content.
So you’ll need to insert this line of script:
params.allowfullscreen = "true";after this one:
params.wmode = "transparent";
thanks.
i have another issue now. on full screen mode when i hit “Esc key” on keyboard.
image on flash are zoom. but when i click on full screen off button it wont do that. is there options for Esc key?
I want to buy your component extremly urgent.
But in my testings i dont know how pass images.xml dinamically like settings xml.
This is i need:
var flashvars = {};
flashvars.settingsXML = "http://localhost/pruebas/componentesFlashXML/pruebasComponentes.php?flujo=brfx_1"; // it works! ;)
flashvars.imagesXML = "http://localhost/pruebas/componentesFlashXML/pruebasComponentes.php?flujo=brfx_2"; // it doesnt works :(
Sorry setting the path to the images.xml using flashvars is not implemented.
Try to give the path from the settings.xml that you generate using your php script.
You have a tag called imagesXML in the General_Properties parent tag.
There you should set your path
ashish.pradhan ,
Could you please send me the archive that you downloaded from us.
I’ll try to find a fix to that.
Hey Snowcat, is this fully compatible with IE8? I can get this to work, but only if I click “Compatibility Mode” in IE8. Worked flawless in IE7 and any other browser I’ve thrown at it. Which to date is Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari.
Hi,
Seems that IE8 and flash are not getting along.
IE8 has some browser security issues.
Try to make the embedding of the banner using the static method.
Like this:
<object classid="clsid27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="600" height="260" id="gal" align="middle"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="salign" value="tl" />
<param name="movie" value="http://www.mysite.com/banner.swf" />
<param name="settingsXML" value="settingsXML = settings.xml"
<embed settingsXML = "settingsXML = settings.xml" src="http://www.mysite.com/banner.swf" width="600" height="310" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="gal" quality="high" scale="noscale" and salign="tl" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
Hi:
How do I set up the banner for all the images load at once? Because every time I move these images are loaded nuevamnete despite previously uploaded.
thanks
Paco
Sorry I wrote wrong in my last comment!!

Hi,
Once the images are loaded,they are saved in cache. So if you go to a image previously loaded the loading should be instant.
Make sure your browser is set to save in cache.
