Ok, I have been fighting to get monoslideshow on an e-commerce page by Volusion.com. I created an ftp account, uploaded the appropriate files (.swf,.xml.,hmtl,.js) and finally have the .swf file on the hompage of the website (www.fishinabowl.com) Volusion tells me to enter this code and follow these directions (http://support.volusion.com/article/adding-flash-animation-your-volusion-store) which is what I did. Now that the flash file is there, I am getting the error and it will not load the xml file. "error loading monoslideshow.xml: ioError.
I have the xml file on the server, I guess I just need to point it there, but I am not sure how.
Here is the code that I have used to embed the flash file on the hompage:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/ flash6/cabs/swflash.cab#version=6.0.0.0"
height="500" width="500">
<param name="play" value="true">
<param name="loop" value="true">
<param name="WMode" value="Opaque">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff">
<param name="align" value="">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.fishinabowl.com/v/vspfiles/Banner/monoslideshow.swf">
<embed src="http://www.fishinabowl.com/v/vspfiles/Banner/monoslideshow.swf" play="true" loop="true" wmode="Opaque" quality="high"
bgcolor="#ffffff" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download
index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" align="" height="350" width="680">
</object>
What else do I do? How do I solve this problem?
Thanks, Chris
You need to add the "dataFile" parameter and point it to the xml relative to the calling html.
Christoph
Ok, How do I add the dataFile parameter? And when I have it to point to the code, should it say something like this: <param name="dataFile" value="http://www.fishinabowl.com/v/vspfiles/Banner/Monoslideshow.xml"> ?
May I suggest a search on this forum with at least 100 examples of the use of dataFile?
Additionally, it is described in the manual in "Loading custom xml-file".
Christoph
Ok I see that I have to use this code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {dataFile: "customfile.xml"};
var params = {};
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF(
"monoslideshow.swf", "flashContent",
"480", "360", "10", false,
flashvars, params, attributes
);
</script>
Where do I put it in the code that I have above? (Listed in my first post) I am guessing that I change where it says "customfile.xml" to where the file is coming from on the sever?
You are using a way to embed Flash that it possible and absolutely valid, but not the recommended way (which is by using swfobject.js).
So you add a line
<param name=FlashVars value="dataFile=path/to/xml/from/html/name_of_xml.xml">
Christoph
I added that line and it is still not pointing to the xml file.. Maybe I am adding that line in the wrong place?
Hello!
Did you finally make it work?
How so?
i have the same problem...would be nice if you guys can tell me how to fix it.
is uploading the monoswf and installing the nextgen and nextgen-monoslideshow plugin enough...
help will be much appreciated...
right now it gives error 1088.
what am i doing wrong...thought it'll work right out of the box :)
It does work right out of the box WHEN you use it with the contents included in the box. If you will find the HTML folder in the download package, you will find that clicking the index.html will show a basic slideshow.
But back to your issue.
Are you using Volusion like the topic states?
Since you mention the nextgen plugin I will assume you are using wordpress.
Could you describe what you have done to get to this point?
Have you found the part in this forum where I walked through the steps of installing and using the nextgen-monoslideshow plugin in Wordpress?
The plugin was not written by Monokai, the creator of Monoslideshow. I have found that occasionally the presets have an error. A transition tag in the wrong place. Try using the option preset NONE to get a basic slideshow working.
If that doesn't work, please post info that can help us determine your issue.
