I need some help in using monoslideshow.xml with flash cs3 + actionScript 3.0

i need the right code that i must put in in my swf file

waiting for help

thanks

I am a novice at coding, im really only comfortable doing basic dreamwaever stuff, and im having problems installing flash to my site.

I can see my monoslideshow.swf work fine in flash but when I put it in my page it says - error loading the .xml file

I can see just an empty flashbox. I am using tables for my site and loaded my script into the head of my template and am trying to veiw the flashbox in the corresponding region on my index page.

Can anyone please help?

Thank you

i have a quite urgent question: i'm new to monoslideshow and i want to embed it on several pages of my website.

_i put the images to album>images
_i made the references in the .xml file via dreamweaver
_i uploaded it with cyberduck to my server

my questions:

1. where exactly do i need to place the html-folder in cyberduck?
2. what else is to do to place the slideshow on my desired place? references? other modifications?

please - it's quite urgent and i haven't find it out myself!

thanks a lot!!!

I've bought monoslideshow a couple of months ago, and I've been happily working with it, but now I need to do something that can't yet figure out how to do, I need the showcase to display small images of the other images, and when selected, they show you that image, you can see what I'm talking about with this link:

I want my monoslideshow to be displayed like that, but changing the number of buttons it displays. Could somebody help me please?

Thanks in advance!

i'm very new to Flash and javascript. i've had a read through the manual (using v2.14) but haven't found exactly how to do what i want - the section on the API looks promising but i don't know enough to be clear if it answers my questions...

originally, i wanted to include some descriptive text along with the thumbnails, but i haven't found any such option...

therefore, i thought i could use text links, appearing to one side of the slideshow by the thumbnails (there are only a few images in this slideshow). specifically, i want these text links, when clicked, to cause the slideshow to jump to specific images, and i also want, if possible, to cause the appropriate thumbnails to be highlighted when the links are moused over.

i hope that's clear! can anyone help me - in layman's terms - understand how to accomplish this in Monoslideshow, or at least point me to a relevant tutorial or manual?

many thanks indeed,
jigme

Both websites have the SWFobject in the header, but the blogspot site changes the code from:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.skiffington.com/swfobject.js"></script>

to:

<script src='http://www.skiffington.com/swfobject.js' type='text/javascript'/>

Other than that there are no differences. Here's what I've got in the body:

<div id="monoSlideshow11">
<p><strong>These awesome images require Flash® and that you turn
on Javascript.</strong></p>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var so = new SWFObject("http://www.skiffington.com/monoslideshow.swf", "SOmonoSlideshow", "555", "416.25", "7", "#ffffff");
so.addVariable("dataFile", "http://www.skiffington.com/monoslideshow11.xml");
so.write("monoSlideshow11");
// ]]>
</script>

and here's the XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<slideshow>

<preferences
kenBurnsMode = "random"
/>

<album thumbnail="images/shake.jpg" title="Suzhou" description="China" imagePath="slideshow/images/China" thumbnailPath="slideshow/images/China">

Any ideas where the problem is?

<album title="!"> <configuration followImageLinks="true"> <transition kenBurnsMode="randomZoomIn" /> </configuration> <contents> <feed url="http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photoset.gne?set=72157623918360978&nsid=31237490@N02&lang=pt-BR&format=rss_200" type="flickr" size="medium" /> </contents> </album>

Works 100%; however I have no idea on now to make links open in new window...
1) I've tried to put a "target" attribute into every tag; none succeeded;
2) I've tried to intercept the click event (through swf.addListener("itemClick",...)). I canopen links in new window this way, but it also navigates away in the main page :(

Am I missing something?
Thanks!

[NEW] added support for EXIF data
[NEW] added attribute "enableEXIF" to enable the loading of EXIF data (default is set to "true")
[NEW] added attribute "template" which defines a template for using EXIF data in title and description tags, please check the manual for the syntax
[NEW] added attribute "policyFile" in the album, image, video and feed tag, which defines a location to crossdomain.xml, used for giving access to remote content
[FIXED] fixed and renewed the Media RSS parsing procedure, compatible to more services now

function ChangeTrack (input_TrackNumber)
{
var flashvars = {dataFile: "/resources/media/music/playtrack.asp?iTrack=" + input_TrackNumber, showLogo: "false", showRegistration: "false"};
var params = {allowScriptAccess: "sameDomain", allowFullScreen: "true"};
var attributes = {id: "monoslideshow", name: "monoslideshow", bgColor: "000000"};
swfobject.embedSWF("/resources/plug-ins/monoslideshow/monoslideshow2.05/monoslideshow.swf", "idMusicPort", "1", "1", "9", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
}

ChangeTrack (4);

The slideshow start with a menu of 3 albums. When you select one and ir finishes , I'd like the show to automatically starts another one instead of stopping.

How do I do that?

we are interested in your OEM version and had written to you a few days ago.

We would be glad to hear you cause we have to make a decision.

Yours sincerely

Here is the embed code:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="480" height="360">

I've searched the forum but could not find an answer. Any ideas?

Also if I want to use XML to customize my slideshow, would this also work in my WordPress verision, or is there any easier way to make adjustment - ie custom fields in WordPress.

Thanks for your help!

What to do next?

This is my Tumblr: http://dinky-di.tumblr.com (building still in progress...)

Al the necessary monoslideshow files (swf, xml) are in the root of my domain (www.dinky-di.eu)

This is the code I post in my Tumblr-post:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.dinky-di.eu/swfobject.js"></script>

<div id="monoSlideshow">
<p><strong>Please install Flash® and turn on Javascript.</strong></p>
</div>
<code><script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var so = new SWFObject("http://www.dinky-di.eu/monoslideshow.swf", "SOmonoSlideshow", "400", "300", "7", "#ffffff");
so.addParam("base", "http://www.dinky-di.eu/");
so.addVariable("dataFile", "http://www.dinky-di.eu/monoslideshow.xml");
so.write("monoSlideshow");
// ]]>
</script></code>

The problem is that the xml-file wasn't found. Someone a suggestion?

On this page which has the same code and references the swf same as above, it can't locate the xml file:
http://express.dreamingcode.com/flash.html

Please help!

Thanks!

I have both monoslide running in the banner div and some images on my page, which launch slimbox upon click. So whenever I launch slimbox the monoslideshow gets interrupted so that the present image of the slideshow also disappears from the div untill I close the slimbox.

Does anyone have a solution?

Possible?

I found in Wordpress forum that MSS is going to be supported by nextgen! thats a great news, but.. when it will be able?? And is there for today any alternatives for jw imagerotator?

regards!

http://www.metaversatility.com/images/slideshow/test.html

that is getting its photos from this flickr set...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/metaversatility/sets/72157601329114857/

the flickr set includes a video, and i don't see the video coming up in the slides... at best i've seen a thumbnail image of the video. Is this functionality simply not in place? thanks

A little bit of tutoring would be much appreciated.
Thanks

This setting works: swfobject.embedSWF("monoslideshow.swf", "flashContent", "100%", "600", "10", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
but this one doesn't: swfobject.embedSWF("monoslideshow.swf", "flashContent", "100%", "100%", "10", false, flashvars, params, attributes); all it shows is a heights of (guessing) a few hundred pixels.

How can I get full width AND heigth?

Thanks

link= only seems to work if I set target=_blank I can't get it to open the links in the same page. When I removed target=_blank the links don't work at all and unfortunately I need them to open in the same page.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Thanks.
