I am not able to figure out how to format the code for my slideshow. Would someone be able to help? my folder setup is this so far
www.StoneRidgeLandscapingInc.com
/Documents (for swf and xml files)
/Documents/monoslideshow.swf
/Documents/monoslideshow.xml
/images (<-- for images)
/images/Thumbnails (<-- for thumbnails)
The webpage is hosted by officelive.......
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" id="obj1" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/
swflash.cab#version=7" border="0" width="779" height="492">
<param name="movie" value="/documents/monoslideshow.swf">
<param name="quality" value="High">
<embed src="/documents/monoslideshow.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="obj1" width="1500" height="1500">
</object>
Also, here is my xml code......
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
var so = new SWFObject("/Documents/monoslideshow.swf", "SOmonoslideshow", 480, 360, "7", "#ffffff");
so.addParam("base", "/www.stoneridgelandscapinginc.com/");
so.write("monoSlideShowIndex");
<slideshow>
<preferences
showMuteButton = "false"
kenBurnsMode = "random"
imageInfoAlpha = "25"
imageInfoShadowAlpha = "45"
markFile = ""
backgroundMusicAlbumWindowVolume = "0"
backgroundMusicThumbnailWindowVolume = "0"
/>
<album thumbnail="1223_christmasLights.JPG" title="insert title of album 1" description="insert description of album 1" imagePath="images" thumbnailPath="images/Thumbnails">
<img src="Szynal.JPG" title="insert title of image 1" description="insert description of image 1" />
</album>
</slideshow>
All I get after this code is placed into the webpage www.StoneRidgeLandscapingInc.com/slideshow is an 'error loading slideshow 'monoslideshow.xml'. What am I missing? Thank you for the assistance!!

Josh,
you got severly mixed up :-) !
First, calls to swfobject don't belong in the xml at all. The xml should start with the preferences, delete the rest.
Second, if the xml and the monoslideshow.swf are in the same directory, you don't need the "base" parameter at all.
Third, put the images and thumbnails directory in parallel (and not nested) as subdirectories, so keep the images folder where it is and put the thumbnails folder right beside it.
Fourth, rename the folders to their default values as "images" and "thumbs".
Now you stand a good chance of everything working. You can still shift directories etc. later when you have it working at all.
Christoph
Christoph, (and anyone else)
The folders are not able to be renamed in this version of office live. Here is the newest code revisions I have made. I tried to stay consistent with your code guidlines otherwise. Here is the new version of the code:
XML CODE.... (even tried with only <prefrences> segment added with same results) error loading slideshow "monoslideshow"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<slideshow>
<preferences
showMuteButton = "false"
kenBurnsMode = "random"
imageInfoAlpha = "25"
imageInfoShadowAlpha = "45"
markFile = ""
backgroundMusicAlbumWindowVolume = "0"
backgroundMusicThumbnailWindowVolume = "0"
/>
<album thumbnail="1223_christmasLights.JPG" title="insert title of album 1" description="insert description of album 1" imagePath="images" thumbnailPath="images/Thumbnails">
<img src="Szynal.JPG" title="insert title of image 1" description="insert description of image 1" />
</album>
</slideshow>
HTML CODE .... still the same
Thank you for any help =)
-Josh
any ideas anyone?? please :) Thank you!!
help?
Josh,
ok, I'll try. Change your html to<code>
<div id="mss">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="480" height="360" id="viewport">
<param name="movie" value="monoslideshow.swf" />
<param name="flashvars" value="showLogo=false" />
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="monoslideshow.swf" width="491" height="328">
<param name="flashvars" value="showLogo=false" />
<!--<![endif]-->
<h1>Sorry!</h1><p>Please install an up to date<a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">Flashplayer</a> and activate Javascript.</p>
<!--[if !IE]>-->
</object>
<!--<![endif]-->
</object>
</div><!--mss-->
</code>
This html assumes the html document itself sits in the document folder like monoslideshow.swf and monoslideshow.xml.
Download the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/">newest version of swfobject </a> and replace the old one you are most likely using.
In your xml, you need to point to the folders where the images and the thumbnails are. So, start with <code>
<album imagePath="../images" thumbnailPath="../images/Thumbnails" thumbnail="thumbs/" title="Title" description="Gallery"></code>
Check your spelling; you wrote that the directory is called "Thumbnails" with a capital t; webservers are case-sensitive.
With the above you should at least be much closer.
Christoph
Thank you Christoph! I will let you know how this works out...
The good news is I am quite close to figuring out monoslidshow =) Currently, I can play the show (linked to a Flickr post) on the following webpage www.StoneRidgeLandscapingInc.com/Documents/index.html
What additional flash code would be used to play the show on www.StoneRidgeLandscapingInc.com/SlideShow ? Right now www.StoneRidgeLandscapingInc.com/SlideShow displays 'error loading slideShow "monoslideshow.xml"'
Anyone with ideas I thank you for the help :)
Please set up a page where it should work (and doesn't), then post a link here using the blue "link" button in the editor. When I manually try to access www.StoneRidgeLandscapingInc.com/SlideShow, I get a "404 not found".
But anyway - the idea behind monoslideshow is that you don't need to know anything about flash code, you just need to adjust the xml.
Christoph
the actual site i want the slide show to be used is "StoneRidgeLandscapingInc.com/SlideShow.aspx"
<a href="http://stoneridgelandscapinginc.com/default.aspx">
<a href="http://StoneRidgeLandscapingInc.com/SlideShow.aspx">http://StoneRidgeLandscapingInc.com/SlideShow.aspx</a>
Fox99cool,
you chose to use a different way to embed Flash than the ones I know; so I can't help you there. The problem lies with certainty here:
<code><object id="obj1" height="492" border="0" width="779" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/ swflash.cab#version=7" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000">
<param value="/documents/monoslideshow.swf" name="movie"/>
<param value="High" name="quality"/>
<embed height="1500" width="1500" name="obj1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="/documents/monoslideshow.swf"/>
</object></code>
The error message clearly states that monoslideshow expects the .xml somewhere else as it is. Try putting the xml directly where the html is.
Christoph
Good news! The slideshow finally plays in on the corect webpage (<a href="http://StoneRidgeLandscapingInc.com/SlideShow.aspx">http://StoneRidgeLandscapingInc.com/SlideShow.aspx</a>). I appreciate all the time you put into assisting me christophvl. Thank you for the code helps!
