    Hello,

    I'm completely new to this stuff so please, I would like very straight-forward answers. I downloaded XML "Thumbs UP" from the website and embedded it into my monoslideshow.xml doc.

    <preferences
    backgroundColor = "000000"
    showLoadingIcon = "false"
    viewport = "5,5,388,324"
    kenBurnsMode = "random"
    kenBurnsVariationPercent = "20"
    imageInfoAlpha = "0"
    imageInfoAlign = "bottomLeft"
    imageInfoMarginX = "0"
    imageInfoMarginY = "0"
    imageInfoWidth = "380"
    imageInfoMaxSize = "false"
    imageInfoTextAlign = "center"
    imageInfoTitleFont = "helvetica"
    imageInfoDescriptionFont = "unibody"
    imageInfoDescriptionSize = "8"
    imageInfoDescriptionMargin = "-2"
    thumbnailWindowAlwaysOn = "true"
    thumbnailWindowTrack = "false"
    thumbnailWindowAlpha = "0"
    thumbnailWindowShadowSize = "0"
    thumbnailWindowShadowAlpha = "0"
    thumbnailWindowLineWidth = "0"
    thumbnailWindowAlign = "topRight"
    thumbnailWindowRows = "10"
    thumbnailWindowColumns = "2"
    thumbnailWindowAutoSize = "false"
    thumbnailWindowPadding = "5"
    thumbnailWindowIconMargin = "12"
    thumbnailWindowIconSize = "8"
    thumbnailWindowIconSpacing = "8"
    thumbnailWindowIconRollOverColor = "80A8FF"
    thumbnailWindowInfoFont = "helvetica"
    thumbnailWindowInfoSize = "8"
    thumbnailWidth = "40"
    thumbnailHeight = "31"
    thumbnailRoundedCorners = "0"
    thumbnailSpacing = "1"
    thumbnailHoverDistance = "5"
    thumbnailHoverShadowSize = "5"
    albumWindowAlpha = "100"
    albumWindowShadowSize = "0"
    albumWindowShadowAlpha = "0"
    albumWindowLineWidth = "0"
    albumWindowRoundedCorners = "0"
    albumWindowIconSpacing = "8"
    albumWindowIconSize = "8"
    albumWindowIconRollOverColor = "80A8FF"
    albumWindowInfoFont = "unibody"
    albumWindowInfoSize = "8"
    albumWidth = "40"
    albumHeight = "60"
    albumRoundedCorners = "0"
    albumSpacing = "1"
    albumShadowSize = "0"
    albumShadowAlpha = "0"
    albumInfoWidth = "120"
    albumInfoHeight = "60"
    albumInfoMargin = "1"
    albumInfoPadding = "2"
    albumInfoRoundedCorners = "0"
    albumInfoColor = "186FE0"
    albumInfoTitleFont = "helvetica"
    albumInfoTitleContainsNumber = "false"
    albumInfoDescriptionFont = "unibody"
    albumInfoDescriptionSize = "8"
    albumInfoDescriptionColor = "9EB6EC"
    controlAlign = "topLeft"
    controlRoundedCorners = "0"
    controlAlpha = "100"
    controlLineWidth = "0"
    controlShadowSize = "0"
    controlIconRollOverColor = "80A8FF"
    controlPadding = "5"
    controlIconSize = "8"
    autoPause = "false"
    markFile = ""
    markAlign = "topLeft"
    markMarginX = "285"
    markMarginY = "275"
    />

    As you can see, the background color is set to 000000 and the Disable startup logo is set to "false". This should result in the background being black the disappearance of the startup logo but it doesn't. I've tried to read the manual but to a newbie it is very confusing and not very clear. Also I would like to know how to disable the version info when you right-click on the slideshow because I'm not trying to promote this product. A speedy and very clear answer would be appreciated as I trust the online support for this product will be very useful.

    The backgroundColor also has to be defined in the SWFObject call. You can disable the logo and version info in the SWFObject call as well, it's described in the manual:

    <script type="text/javascript">
    var so = new SWFObject("monoslideshow.swf", "mss", 480, 360, "7", "#ffffff");
    so.addVariable("showLogo", "false");
    so.addVariable("showVersionInfo", "false");
    so.write("mssHolder");
    </script>

    Ok, It worked. The index.html file now leaves out the logo and background is black. However, when I drag and drop my monoslideshow.swf object into my website page the background is white again and the logo is still there. Do I have to add some code to my webpage as well? If so, where do I add it? Do I just copy and paste the code from my index.html file? Here is the code to my page that i'm trying to fix.

    <style type="text/css">
    <!--
    body {
    background-color: #000000;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    }
    body,td,th {
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    }
    #apDiv1 {
    position:absolute;
    left:32px;
    top:24px;
    width:956px;
    height:193px;
    z-index:1;
    }
    .style3 {
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    }
    .style5 {
    color: #FFFFFF;
    font-weight: bold;
    }
    .style6 {color: #FFFFFF}

    -->
    </style>

    <script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    Kevin,
    it may be time to read the manual or look at other people's websites where Monoslideshow is up and running.
    Feel free to copy from my website.
