hello!
i have implemented this component into www.diamondstudios.ro at portofolio. The accordion.xml:
                
<accordion width = "620" height = "260" 
	startWith = "1" 
	backgroundColor = "ffffff" 
	backgroundTransparency = "100"
	distanceBetweenItems = "1"
	itemOverWidth = "400"
	textWidth = "138"
	imageWidth = "247"
	linkTitle = " - link"
		
	linkOverColor = "e6e6e6"
	startAlpha = "60"
	overAlpha = "100">

	<item>
		<image>content/images/pades.png</image>
		
		<title><![CDATA[<font size="25">Primaria Pades</font>]]></title>
		<titleColor>898989</titleColor>
		
		<caption><![CDATA[<font size="14"> html php</font>]]></caption>
		<captionColor>898989</captionColor>
		
		<link>http://www.primariapades.ro</link>
		<target>_self</target>
		
		<textBackgroundColor>ffffff</textBackgroundColor>
	</item>

                

The colors from the xml dont match the colors on the site.. Why?

Please check how we set the colors. You need to use hexa code. Also, I recommend you install the fonts provided before you edit the FLA.

Houston, we have a problem.

When I open the preview, everything is ok and all texts are visible.

As discribed in several postings, first I installed the font. But, as soon as I open the file "Project CS3" Flash asks for the Font "Times". It makes no difference if I replace Times with Times NR or not, or do any thing, afterwards all texts in the menu are invisible. But I have to open the fla. File, because I need a different menue size.

Because of this problem, I also can't embed any other Font.

Need help. Thx
 
If you want to customize the size, you can do that in HTML and XML. Please check the FAQ section in the footer.

Can you tell me if you are using Flash CS3?

I did that in xml already. But the Flashplayer opens the accordion in the older size.
 
You must open it in the HTML, because the swfObject is used to resize the swf in the browser.

Detail: The menue has the new size, but the window of the player has the older size.

Hi bobocel,

all clear! I expand the downloaded package again and did all customizings once more. And now it works! Still I dont know where my mistake was. But anyway.

But I have the problem with font embedding. In your tutorial "Embedding Fonts in Flash" you wrote "add ActionScript code in your .as file". Which of the sevaral .as files in this dokument is meant. Sorry for my fool question, but I have only a little bit more experience in Flash than a newbi. Thx for your understanding!
 
Glad you figured it out.

If you simply replace the font on the textfield, you don't need to embed it through the code, as we already did that for the current font.

Make sure you simply swap it with the right font with the * at the end. (so you only need the first part of the tutorial in the case of our components, where we already wrote the code)

Hi bobocel,

I did that exactly so and choosed the dynamic textfield in mcText and sawaped the font with * at the end. No chance! All texts in the menue are invisible! Don't know what to do.
 
Okay, no worries. Email us the font you want to use, and all your files (XML, content, sources).

We'll replace it for you.
 
Also, let us know where you want the font used in that email.

Hi Bobocel

This is an awesome flash component but I'm having trouble using it with a wordpress theme. It worked when I had it in a normal html/css page but I could never get it working offline using wamp when I converted it into a theme.

I really need some help to set up correctly for a wordpress theme. I have left it as the default from the deploy folder and added it to my theme's folder.

It is reading a flash file but says done - then its a blank but none of the images the preview movie clip is not showing?

If anyone had any success with embedding it to a wordpress theme please help me!
 
I'm not sure exactly how you have to embed this in wordpress, but I believe the easiest way is to use absolute paths for the images.

In order to do that, you must set the pathToFiles to "". Please check the FAQ article related to that.

If you still have issues, please do write back.

We added an additional parameter in the XML, so you can set the link to be the entire slide. Please download the files again if you want to use this feature.

At the moment, it's not built to support more than one link. We'll consider this feature for a future update though.

Hi,
I requested the link to be the entire slide sometime back and have downloaded your latest changes. Thanks for that. Recently, I realised that although the image appears to be a hyperlink when hovering over it, but when I click on the image, it doesn't go to the target link. What could I have done wrong? Pls advise. Thanks.
 
Are your links with http in front of them?
