How do I load an swf to a container in my menuw/slideshow.swf once I clicked on a link?
Would it be through the xml file, if it how would I go about doing that? Any help.

Or tell the menuw/slideshow.fla to go to another frame?

Somewhere at the top part in the as file should be the code:
```
for (this.i=0; this.i<this.menuData.*.length(); this.i  ) {    
                    this.menuElement = new MovieClip();    
                    this.menuElement.elementID = this.i;    
```
add after this line the code:
```
this.menuElement.buttonMode = true;    
```
This was in the comment of the old version of this component.
Take a look on it.. You may found some other usefully things.

I have everything working fine on my PC but when I upload it to the webserver the swf loads but not the images? Any ideas what I have done wrong, I have tried using full paths and putting all the files in the same dir as the swf, nothing seems to help the swf loads but I never get any of the images?

Hi,
I must have made a mistake somewhere, I used the Audi demo files they worked fine, then I made the changes wanted and everthing is working fine, I had an email from the Flash Components Team offering to look at my files and help me find the problem within about an hour (great service)!
All is working great!

Yes, when you “Test the movie” (Pressing Ctrl + Enter) the Flash compile the fla file (using the sources in the as files) and the output is the swf file. If you only change the as file and save it this will not reflect to the swf file.

I want to set one link to “_blank” but it just getting the “_self” that is setup in settings.

I’ve test this functionality and it works.
I suppose that the problem is in the settings.xml file because it’s settings overwrite the other.
Read the document file for more information about how it works.

I purchased this product and was able to work with it quite easily. However, I’m having a problem and I’ve been trouble shooting an issue I can’t seem to resolve. I would be glad to share the url of the page that the problem is occurring on.

I’ll try to explain the problem: My swf file is 310px tall. In the browser there is about 50 pixels of white space added above the or in the swf. In order to see the entire flash piece without anything getting cut off I have to change the height of the object to 360px. I need this to work without the images in the swf file pushing down.

See my problem.Click Here

I’m using a template engine for my website and having trouble… the SWF movie is not showing up. Its reserving the space on the website but I can’t see the Accordion. It’s probably because I’m using the absolute path to the SWF file. Is there a way to get around this problem?

I have a question about this components. Is the slideshow option button removable and make slideshow default? Number of images flexible? Thanks.

# / posted on Oct 10, 2009

The button is just to show this options. If you don’t want it can be removed.
You can make the slide show default.
Of course you can put as many picture as you want.

Thanks Nighteagle. I just purchased the file and it works great. Beautiful. I just have a quick question. If the HTML page that displays the swf file is not in the same directory, what has to be changed for the component display properly? Thanks. Hope my question is clear.

# / posted on Oct 11, 2009

You have to change the URL of the displayed images in the xml file. The paths have to “start” not from the swf file but from the html file witch includes the swf.

Hi,

Purchased your accordion component … it seems to be working fine!

Just a few questions:

How do I set the default pic that appears in full width when the page opens? (at present it’s pic 2 but I want anoter pic to be displayed when component is first viewed).

Also, how do I make the text labels (Audi 6 etc), appear below the images? (at present, the labels appear over the images towards the bottom).

With regards,

Kieran

Hi Kieran,
SlidingMenuSlideShow(“data.xml”, 0 , 400, 75, true, 0.5, 0.5,
“0xffffff”, “_self”);
The bolder “0 “ is the index of the default image. 0 is for the first 1 for the second and etc.
About the labels. It can’t appear below the images because this mean that they will be outside the flash movie…
BUT my advice is to edit you images. Add 20 more pixel at their bottom and fill these with white color (or the background color you want to use, or leave it transparent if you user png images). On this way you will have the same effect.

Regards,
Dimitar

Hi Dimitar,

Many thanks for your prompt reply.

Hi Dimitar,

Sorry to bother you again … another question.

Is there any way to ‘send data out’ of the Accodion Menu? What I mean is, if a particular image in the menu is rolled over, this triggers an event in another SWF in the same web page.

I’ve been experimenting with the LocalConnection class but, so far, no luck.

What’s your opinion? Is it possible to use the Accordion Menu with the LocalConnection class? ... or is there a better way?

Regards,

Kieran

Hi Dimitar,

It’s OK … I’ve sorted my problem. Used the XML link tag to call JavaScript function.

But, one thing I do need to know is: how do I trigger an event ‘on rollover’? When images are clicked, the user is sent to the URL nominated in the XML link tag. How can I do the same thing, but with a rollover ???

I guess you would have to alter the SlidingMenuSlidehow.as file. Can you help with this?

Regards,

Kieran

Hi Kieran,
Yes. In the as-file there are two function menuRollOver and menuRollOut. These are started when some event it triggered. So you have to find and edit them.

Hi,

Thanks for the beautiful accordion and the really helpful help file.
Everyhing is working perfectly.

There is a thing I want to add to the accordion. When the button slide is in the not active state, I would like to show vertical text.

Do you have any suggestions where I can manage that?

Regards,
Eva

Hi Eva,
I’m happy that you like the component.
About the vertical text… It’s possible but you have to add some code in the as file of the component.
1. You have to add another TextField, rotate it and positions it.
2. You have to organize all these text fields (I would use for this an array) so you can easily go trough all and change their properties.
3. You have to edit the event handler functions to make the changes you want. (In you case to make the labels visible and hiding them)

I’m planing to add vertical labels in the next version of the component, but at this time I don’t know when this will be released.

Regards,
Dimitar

Hi,

I just purchased the Accordion code and I have a few questions:

1) Where should the pictures be located?

2)Documentation.pdf, step 4

“Ones the Sliding Menu object is created we have to put in on the stage. Type the following code:
addChild(slidingMenuSS);
Create object (what sort of object)”

Created where? What sort of object?

Where should that code be typed?

I get lost at this point. Could you please be more specific?

3) Can the Accordion be used in an exisying flash project?

4) How can I link every image on the accordion to a position in the main timeline in my flash project?

Best,

Pau
