Hi there

Now I know you have probably answered this questions hundreds of time and I know you have posted in the FAQ your answer to this but I am finding that your answer is a bit “thin”.

I am wanting to use a special asian font, and also be able to select which characters to embed (as I do not need all of the characters).

Step 1 – is fine.

Step 2 – I have followed your Step 2A but then the rest becomes not so clear. My questions are these:

1) after creating the empty text field on the stage, does the text field have to be dynamic or static?
2) if dynamic do we need to give it an instance name?
3) once I have selected my font and select which characters to embed, then what? Am I meant to go onto Step 2B in your instructions or do I just publish what I have completed?

I have tried publishing after Step 2A without any success, so I have continued onto Step 2B with no problems but have noticed that the SWF file becomes very large (because it is embedding everything, not what I have selected).

I look forward to your response (you can PM if better than posting on the comments wall).

Hi jaymannz,

Please send your archive to support [at] flashxml.net and we will make the changes for you.

Hi there

I don’t want to have to send my archive to you as I need to do this for more than one language and you shouldn’t have to do this for me.

Can you please either post or send me clearer instructions so that I can do this myself? I need to have this flexibility (one of the reason’s my company purchased this flash component).

Thanks

Hi,

You can set the value of embedFont to false in your settings.xml file and you’ll be able to use any language you want.

Hi:

I select imageEffects type=“none” in my Untitled-1.swf setting and it didn’t work, my swf move up out control inside banner.swf. Would you like to check my problem?

Hi

Setting the value of embedFont to false is a quick solution thanks however this is still not what I want.

I would like you to post or give us clearer instructions on how to embed specific characters ourselves – or are you trying to tell me that this is not possible (even though you have something posted in your FAQ) or that you do not have time to support your customers?

Also, using the embedFont as false seems to make the body text flicker for a very quick second (see the green font flicker here before it gets rendered). Is there a way to fix this (assuming that you cannot give me instructions on how to embed specific fonts myself)?

Thanks

Hi paco36075,

Your Untitled-1.swf moves inside the banner rotator because that’s the way it was created. If you want to stop the moving effect, you have to modify it. You can see for yourself here how this swf file looks like stand alone.

Hi jaymannz,

I asked you to send us your archive to modify it ourselves, to make it easier for you. The tutorial from our website is very simple to follow but you need to pay attention to every step.

Hi

Are you able to answer my following questions please?

1) Using the embedFont as false seems to make the body text flicker for a millisecond before rendering (see the green font flicker here). Is there a way to fix this that you know of or maybe you know why it is happening?

2) Is there any way for us to be able to control the text alignment of the text (e.g center align rather than left align)?

Thanks again for your help.

Hi,

1) Looks like this is a Flash Player problem. Nothing we can do about it.

2) You need to change the value of hPos and vPos to center in your settings.xml file.

Hi,

I want to change the location of the setting.xml file and place it in an xml folder. However when I open the file in flash to change its location I do not see any scripting.

Where can I locate the setting.xml to change it’s path to xml/setting.xml?

Hi FlashXML.net

It probably you don’t understand me. I know the swf is movement that I made but my picture doesn’t move up outside the limit of my swf (http://12.190.216.233/banner_test/images_home/Untitled-1.swf) I never see the stage in my internal swf and in my another images but when I put a swf inside banner.swf the swf move outside the limit. Please you can check this example.

Hi besuretr,

To change the path of your settings.xml file, you need to follow this tutorial.

Hi paco36075,

If I understand you well enough, you should change the value of bannerHeight to 279 in your settings_home.xml file.

Hi,

I changed bannerHeight to 279 and I continue with the same problem.

1. I need my banner.swf with 260×250px in my webpage. If I change the height you see the text and the button in wrong place.
2. I change settings_home.xml with this change as you told me and I see the same error with my internal swf.

Sorry.

Hi,

When you change the bannerHeight you also need to change the height of the embedded swf file in your nuevo_home.html file.
Modify this code:
```
<script type="text/javascript">
	var flashvars = {};
	flashvars.settingsXML = "settings_home.xml";
	var params = {};
	params.scale = "noscale";
	params.salign = "tl";
	params.wmode = "transparent";
	var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("banner.swf", "BannerDiv", "600", "279", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>
```
Note that I changed the height from 250 to 279 in the above code as well.

Hi,

I know how to change the height, but I need banner.swf with 250 height not 279. My problem is that when I put in banner.swf my own swf inside into home_image.xml my swf move up beyond the bottom line.

Can you send me an example to [email protected] where you put a swf inside banner.swf for I see it.

Thanks

Hi,

Change both bannerHeight from settings.xml and height from nuevo_home.html to 250.

Hi,

I changed both bannerHeight and Height to 250, but the problem continue.

Here an example how my internal swf move up beyond the bottom line.

Hi,

Why don’t you use an image instead of Untitled-1.swf?

# / posted on May 13, 2010
paco36075

Hi,

Because in some cases I need to create small animations with short videos o elements that move it. In your text you put you supports JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG, and SWF and I think your banner is a good possibility for this.

Thanks

I am using the commercial version. I have several SWFs in it. The flash runs very jumpy with the caption. Still images run smooth though…

I found out some SWFs works fine. But sometimes it never loads some SWFs. Do you know what happen?

Also, when I tried to customize the rotator. It generated the setting xml referring to image2.xml which doesn’t come with the package. Am I missing the file? Can you send it to me? Thanks!

Hi paco,

Your problem is caused by the swf file you’re using. Try a different one and you’ll see that you’ll not have that problem again.

Hi pam.fioritto,

Please give us a link to your website so we can check how the flash runs jumpy.

You can fix the settings.xml referring to images2.xml by editing your settings.xml file and manually change the imagesXML attribute to your images.xml file.

Thanks for your reply! I restarted the browser and the flash look fine now without the caption. But I found out some SWFs work fine, some SWFs were never loaded at all, and for some reason, sometimes the SWF was automatically resized (smaller) even though I tried both settings (bestFit and shrink to fit). Can you please help me? Thanks!

Hi,

Please make sure you set the correct path to your images and SWFs in your images.xml file. If you’re still having problems, provide us the link to your website so we can check it.

Yes, I am pretty sure that the path is correct. The website is confidential and I couldn’t show you the link here. Is there a way that I can send you email?

Hi,

I use a different swf and I have the same problem.

http://12.190.216.233/banner_test/images_home/Untitled-3.swf

Look the error inside the banner.swf

http://12.190.216.233/banner_test/nuevo_home.html

Thanks

Hi,

When you create Untitled-3.swf don’t place any object outside the scene because the Banner Rotator will consider those as well and that’s why you have that white space.
