I cannot figure out why I am receiving this error message. I have both Java & Flash. I can view the slideshows on your website, but am unable to view them on my computer. Someone please help me figure this out asap! Thank you in advance for your help! Rachel
Here is the directory structure:
/slideshow/ (folder)
/slideshow/monoslideshow.swf
/slideshow/monoslideshow.xml
/slideshow/swfobject.js
/slideshow/album/ (folder)
/slideshow/albums/y1.jpg
/slideshow/albums/y2.jpg
/slideshow/albums/y3.jpg
/slideshow/albums/y4.jpg
Here is what is in my html file:
Under <HEAD> tag:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/slideshow/swfobject.js"></script>
Under <BODY> tag:
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var so = new SWFObject("/slideshow/monoslideshow.swf", "SOmonoSlideshow", "350", "250", "7", "#ffffff");
so.addVariable("showLogo", "false");
so.addVariable("showVersionInfo", "false");
so.write("monoSlideshow");
so.addParam("base", "/slideshow/");
// ]]>
</script>
Here is what is in my xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--

Hi,
unfortunately you don't tell where in your directory structure the html resides, but I assume it is in the directory which also hosts the "slideshow" folder.
Then, your error lays in the leading slash in your parameters, for example instead of <code>so.addParam("base", "/slideshow/");</code> you need to write<code>so.addParam("base", "slideshow/");</code>.
Sometimes it's the little things... :-)
Christoph
Hi Christoph,
The folder "slideshow" is - directly off of index.html.
I haven't uploaded it to the internet yet - it's only on my computer.
I code in notepad, so I'm not using an editor.
I made the change that you suggested, however I am still having the same problem.
??????
Please help more.
Thannk you, Rachel

Hello,
you need to remove the leading slashes in the header and body paths to swfobject.
Also, so.write must be the last line in CDATA.
Christoph
Hello again Christoph,
I made those changes, and am now receiving a new error:
"No images found in .XML-file."
???
Thanks, Rachel
Well, we're closing in, aren't we?
Check the image path in the xml, it should read
<code><album imagePath="album"></code>
(or "albums", that is not clear from your first post).
Christoph
I do feel like we are closing in. :)
This is what I have in the XML for that line:
<album title="Yellow" description="Yellow Album" imagePath="album">
It is still giving me the same error message.
Thanks, Rachel
Rachel,
it is a little tricky without having actually access to your structure. I would try copying the images (or the first image) to all possible locations, and, as soon as you see something, deleting them one by one. Now you know where your current path ist pointing at. Also, in the first post you mix "albums" and "album", check that as well. Also, remember that webservers are case-sensitive, so Album is not equal album.
If that still doesn't work, post everything to a test site, post the link here and I'll take a look.
Christoph
Hello Cristoph,
The site is located at: http://www.tandemhome.com
I am working on it now, so the links aren't setup yet, but I uploaded everything for the slideshow.
I'm really confused as to why it's not working as everything seems to be correct.
Thank you for taking the time to help!
Rachel
Rachel,
the error now seems to be in your xml. When I try to read it, I get an error message:
Adresse: http://www.tandemhome.com/slideshow/monoslideshow.xml
Zeile Nr. 17, Spalte 18: imageScaleMode �scaleToFill�
which is German, but nevertheless check line 17 if a "=" is missing - that would explain that mss is stopping to read your xml there and thus never gets to the lines with the images. If in doubt, just delete everything in front of the "album" tag (you can later put it in again) and check if it's working now.
Christoph
Christoph,
The error was in scaleToFill command. It is definitely the little things. The slideshow is not completeing either the scaletoFill command or allowing me to change the background color of the show now. I have tried to scaleToFill in both the preference tag, and the album tag. If I put it in the preference tag, the slide show won't display at all. If I put it in the album tag, it displays, but won't scaleToFill. ???
Thanks, Rachel
I think I figured it out...thank you for ALL your help! Rachel
I didn't... :( It seems that the 4th image in my slide show won't scale to fill, and I can't get the back ground to change color with the backgroundColor command.
Hi Christoph,
I figured out the first slideshow, but I have added a second (shold be in the top, right corner of the screen. I went through the forum with a fin-tooth comb and can't figure out why it isn't showing up. Can you please take a look?
Thank you, Rachel
HI Rachel,
without whitespace your html has become a little hard to read. What I found confusing was both instances of monoslideswho pointing into the same directory (base-parameter), which would mean would both show the same images - is that what you want?
The fact that not even an error mesage is shown obviously means that monoslideshow is being called.
Christoph
Hello again Christoph,
I followed directions in the following posts to create the second slideshow. After reading them, it seems to me that it is ok to have the images in the same folder. I just don't include the images in the second .xml file as I did in the first.
This link explains that you only need separate .xml files - not separate folders, etc.
http://www.monoslideshow.com/vanilla/discussion/1409/
This link explains how to reference the new xml file:
http://www.monoslideshow.com/vanilla/discussion/935/?Focus=3137#Comment_3137
I added more whitespace..hopefully you can read it better.
Thanks, Rachel
Ok, thanks for the whitespace, that makes it much easier. In my experience, mixing "datafile" and "base" somehow doesn't work too well. Try creating a second directory (slideshow-ty, for example), pointing the "base" parameter there and omitting the "datafile" parameter. My guess would be it'll work immediately.
Christoph
I must be missing something, but can't determine the problem...it still won't display the 2nd show. I made your suggested changes, but it won't show up.?.? It isn't even giving and error message.
Also, if you still have the patience (thank you for your patience with me) my menu keeps showing up behind my slideshow.
I was told to add: <code><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></code> to the flash file in order to make the menu appear ontop (by the menu program company), but I can't edit the flash file. Is there another way to achieve this by editing the html or xml in slideshow?
Thank you, Rachel
Rachel,
the "param" needs to be added to the html, not the Flash.
Other than that, I don't have any more ideas, but a suggestion:
Go to Google Code, download the newest swfobject.js (currently 2.1) and change the calling code for both slideshows; you can copy/paste from <a href="http://www.horsecompetence.de/galerie/aktuell_10.html">here</a> (view code) or look at the documentation provided by Google Code.
All in all, it'll take half an hour to make it run again, and this is nevertheless a more robust way to call monoslideshow when it comes to cross-browser-issues.
Greetings from a snowy Germany,
Christoph
