Hi there,
Great product. Questions:
1) I can add links to the text and they launch fine, but if i would like the background image to also be clickable and the url attribute does not seem to work for me consistently (i.e. if I do a lot of clicks the url may open up a window).
2) How can I get the rotator to stop after cycling through all the images (Or say cycle through them three times and then stop?)
Hi,
1. The background of the text doesn’t listens for mouse events. So if you click on the image an not on the background of the text, it should work (open the link of the image).
2. Sorry this feature is not implemented.
Hi,
From your settings.xml file set the value of autoTiming to false (in generalOptions).
Then in the images.xml file for each image set a value for the duration attribute.
hello .. I have problem with clickable under ie (6,7,8) – nothing hapend when I try to click on the image
(buttons to switch next images work fine but link on the image dont work – some of ie crash!) ..

Thanks for a great product! I only have one question. I have the banner displayed on a page where there is a DHTML Flyout Menu next to it. When the menu flyouts occur they show up behind the banner instead of overtop of the banner. Can you tell me how to fix that?
Hi
I have some issues, and i tried the solutions you gave to other user’s issues, but they don´t seem to work, so i would please to get an answer.
In Internet explorer, transitions & effects dont work sometimes
In IE and FIrefox, there is a big issue with fullscreen, both via ESC via the button, when i try to close fullscreen, there opens the image without controls, and the only way to get back is clicking on the image and pressing ESC many times.
Hello! I have been trying to get the Banner Rotator to work on my site.
For reference, the files are located here:
http://r.b5z.net/i/u/10059548/i/banner/banner.swf
http://r.b5z.net/i/u/10059548/i/banner/settings.xml
http://r.b5z.net/i/u/10059548/i/banner/images.xml
http://r.b5z.net/i/u/10059548/i/banner/header_template_01.html
http://r.b5z.net/i/u/10059548/i/banner/style.css
As you can see on the header_template_01.html file, everything works fine. However, when I try to copy the code here and place it into our content management system for the header of the site, it does not work. For reference, the site is www.primusgolf.com.
I’ve tried adding:
flashvars.folderPath = “http://r.b5z.net/i/u/10059548/i/banner/”;
flashvars.settingsXML = “http://r.b5z.net/i/u/10059548/i/banner/settings.xml”;
to the code, but it still will not work. Looking at the html I’ve supplied, how exactly am I supposed to define an absolute value for the xml path?
The code I’m using is below:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://r.b5z.net/i/u/10059548/i/banner/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
flashvars.folderPath = "http://r.b5z.net/i/u/10059548/i/banner/";
flashvars.settingsXML = "http://r.b5z.net/i/u/10059548/i/banner/settings.xml";
var params = {};
params.scale = "noscale";
params.salign = "tl";
params.wmode = "transparent";
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("http://r.b5z.net/i/u/10059548/i/banner/banner.swf", "FlashCute", "400", "200", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>
Nevermind! The content management system I was liking hates javascript, so I defined the parameters via html. I love the world again, and you for making this thing! :)
Hi,
Try to set the folderPath like this:
<param name="flashvars" value="folderPath=http://r.b5z.net/i/u/10059548/i/banner/" /><param name="flashvars" value="settingsXML = settings.xml" />
If you set the folderPath (the path to your assets) there won’t be necessary to set the path for the settings.xml file.
The code I’m using that works in Firefox and Chrome but not in explorer is as follows:

Yes, I had to make all paths absolutely defined in order for it to work in chrome. I’m still at a loss about IE.
Hi,
Try for the IE a special case.
For the others browsers make the embedding static (<object></object>) and for IE dynamic (using swfobject).
hello , baught the banner rotator, when i put it inside my flash file, all the website would be aligned to the left!! how do i keep it aligned all to the middle? thanks
Hi,
Create a new file in your project folder and call it style2.css.
In the html file that embeds the swf (index.html or index.php) you need to
write the following line:
<link href="style2.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">Next open the style2.css file that you created previously and try to write the
body
{ text-align:center;
}
BannerDiv
{ margin:0 auto; padding:0;
}Snowcat,
This banner is amazing. Very nice job!
Question – Is is possible to make just an image linkable, leaving the rest of the banner and text un-linked? I’m currently using this in my XML, and only want the user to be able to click the image:
<photo image=“images/01.png” url=“page.html” target=”_self” duration=“2”>
<![CDATA[<head>Some Text</head><body>Some more text.</body>]]></photo>
Thanks!
Hi,
If I understood correctly you want when to user clicks on the image to open a new link.
But when he/she clicks the text nothing won’t happen?
Hi,
Amazing Flash components you built, so thanks! I bought the commercial all files package, and I’m trying to use the banner rotator. Everything works great except I cannot get the flash to center correctly. My page is centered but the flash will not center within the DIV tag, even if I center the DIV tag itself.
I noticed that I could control the x and y axis of the center on the carousel, does this component function in the same manner? Any help you can give me to correct this would be awesome! Thanks!
Tim
Hi,
Try to align it in the center using CSS style.
e.g.
In your CSS file you could specify something like this:
@body
{
margin:0 auto;
padding:0;
text-align:center;
}
#BannerDiv
{
margin:0 auto;
padding:0;
}@
Hi there
I am seriously looking at purchasing your Banner Rotator FX for a company I am contracting to. This company’s website is available in 7 different languages.
So what I want to know is – can I pass a variable to the flash file (or settings.xml file) to control which images.xml file is used? Ideally I would like to have 1 banner.swf, 1 settings.xml and 7 images.xml files (images-en.xml, images-de.xml, images-fr.xml etc) so that I can have different text for the different languages but for the same “main” banner.
I don’t want to have to create 7 separate settings.xml files because then I would have to administer all of those separately when changes are required and this is not productive.
Thanks
Justin
Hi,
You could specify to load images using flashvars from the html file.
e.g.
flashvars.imagesXML = "images-fr.xml"
BUT this feature is not implemented yet.
Anyway if you’ll purchase the component we’ll implement it for you.
All we need to do is to change a line of code.
