Please make sure you check the FAQ section (pathToFiles article is what you need to read).

Please note that if you use the demo, it only works locally.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear before; I want to activate lightbox from the xml file (I click on the image within the slider, and a larger version opens in lightbox)… is that possible?

Andrei Potorac

No. You need to edit the file so that it opens a javascript page instead of an external link. And you can set the pages you want it to open in the XML file.

But you cannot set the links only and have it work.

Hi -
Is there any way to clear image cache automatically?
Here is my situation - I have created a static xml file with 5-6 images named (img1.jpg, img2.jpg...etc.)
What I want is to be able to upload a new img1 every month or so and it automatically updates in the scoller.
Currently, unless I give the new file a different name and then change the xml to reflect the new name - the new file does not show.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Enrico.

Sure. You can add the cacheBuster variable at the end of the xml name, as we did for the preview.swf. This prevents the browser from caching it.

hi - yes I did try that - but still no success. Even if I delete the files from the server they remain in the banner. Here is my script code:

                
			var stageW = 940;
			var stageH = 200;
			var cacheBuster = "?t="+Date.parse(new Date());
 
			// ATTRIBUTES
		    var pathToFile ="/files/deploy/";
		    var attributes = {};
		    attributes.id = "slider";
		    attributes.name = attributes.id;
 
			var flashvars = {};
			var params = {};
 
			params.bgcolor = "#000";
 
			flashvars.componentWidth = 940;
			flashvars.componentHeight = 200;
 
			flashvars.pathToFiles = pathToFile+"slider/";
			flashvars.xmlPath = pathToFile+"slider/xml/slider.xml"+cacheBuster;
 
			swfobject.embedSWF(pathToFile+"preview.swf"+cacheBuster, "slider", stageW, stageH, "9.0.124", pathToFile+"js/expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params);
			//swfmacmousewheel.registerObject(attributes.id);

Make sure you pass files with a different name as well.

Hi bobocel,

I have two questions concerning this product:

1. It seems, that it works only with npg files but not with jpeg files. Is that correct? Npg files are nearly five times bigger than jpegs. Concerning loading times is that a handicap.

2. Is it possible to use more than one slider in one project? I have a html project where I have to present four different segments. I wanted to do that with four different sliders. But there is only one xml for my disposal. How can I menage that?

Thx for you answer

Naber

Please forget question nr. 2. I maneged that already (afterwards I think it was a foolish question ;-))

But still there is question nr 1. I have a lot of pictures to show. Therefore is it important, if each picture has a size of 50 kb or 250 kb.

Hope for your answer.

It works with swf, gif, jpg and png files as well. Make sure you set the extension correctly in the XML. ;)

Naber

Yepp!!! Wear sackcloth and ashes! You're right!

Now, there ist no reason not to implement that impressive tool in my project! (Look out! Don't rejoice too soon) `;-)))))

I tried to load an swf instead of a jpg, but that didn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Also I'd like to know if it's possible to make a html link to one of the itemes so it will slide to that item when clicked on the html link.

Andrei Potorac

on 8/3/10

You cannot make the html link to a specific item. I believe there's an issue with loading a swf, so let me look into that and get back to you.

Andrei Potorac

on 9/3/10

Fixed. Try now. ;)

I am sorry to be a bother, but I am not a programmer! If anyone can point me to a tutorial to ”edit the file so that it opens a javascript page instead of an external link. And you can set the pages you want it to open in the XML file” like bobocel said (so that I can get lightbox to open) it would be great. I don’t know how to make a “javascript page” so any help would be appreciated.

In Slider.as, at the bottom of the page, you have the following code:

                
// if you want to call a js function, uncomment this, and comment the URLNavigator call
//								if (ExternalInterface.available) 
//								{
//					                ExternalInterface.call("clickedSlide", mcParent.index);
//					            }
								
								URLNavigator.ChangePage(galleryArray[mcParent.index].link, galleryArray[mcParent.index].target);

Andrei Potorac

If you do what the comment says, and recompile the swf, you should be able to call a function named clickedSlide, which is defined in the html:

                
function clickedSlide(id)
{
	alert(id);
}

I just can't get this one to work. I've checked the filepaths and everything. It works locally but not on server. Allready read the FAQ. No solution. Any ideas?

Tried even to upload all the files as they are. Not changing anything. With a simple html where the flash is. Still nothing. It just seems to load. The three dots are just moving. Need help. Please!

Andrei Potorac

Please send over a link to support, and we'll fix it asap.

Great component, really fast, I like it, nevertheless I have exactly the same problem as the one mentioned above, where it works excellent locally, but once on the server, then it doesn't work. I'm using the "deploy" package. Is there any fix for this?

Andrei Potorac

on 19/4/10

I'm glad you enjoy it! :-)

Please make sure you read the pathToFiles article in the FAQ section. It basically describes how you need to set your paths if you move the files on your server in different places.

Carlos Ramirez

on 19/4/10

Thank you for your quick response. I have read and looked for more information about this in the FAQ but unfortunately I did not find anything that would help to solve this problem. I have downloaded other components and they work fine, this one just doesn't seem to work on the server. I even published the example as is, without making any changes at all, but it just seems that it's loading; when running the same file locally it works great.

I have publish the component without any modification here:
http://cdrphotostudio.com/slidemove/
So you can see what I'm referring to.

Andrei Potorac

on 19/4/10

Please read the pathToFiles article. You'll see that your flashvars.pathToFiles variable is wrong.

I have the same problem. I followed the pathToFiles article and still nothing. I even uploaded the deploy folder exactly as it was and nothing. I just get 3 dots. My site is: www.thinktankmgmt.com

Andrei Potorac

on 20/4/10

Everything seems OK with your file. Strange it doesn't work. Please get in touch at support with information related to the FTP, so we can look into it. (by placing some traces to see where the file gets broken)

I presume you used the deploy from the source files, not the one from the demo or preview.

Carlos Ramirez

on 19/4/10

I have tried all day long to change everything I can and I have read and read again the different comments. Even not changing anything and deployed the sample directly without modification to the root of my site and still not working. From what I can understand from a previous comment, if the download is a demo it only works locally, that seems to be the behavior I get, nevertheless I didn't download the demo (at least it's what I think). I have many other components working absolutely fine and I'm really happy with them.
This component is just perfect for what I'm working on.
Unfortunately I don't have flash to re-build the swf file.
Any other suggestion I can try?
-Carlos

Mine isn't the demo... I paid for it, so I'd love to know what I need to do to get it working. :)

Andrei Potorac

on 20/4/10

Dear Carlos, you have this path to the XML:
http://cdrphotostudio.com/slidemove/sl...

This means, your pathToFiles is this:
"slidemove/slider/"

Not this:
"slider/"

Please adjust that, and everything should work fine.

Carlos Ramirez

on 20/4/10

I have made the changes in http://cdrphotostudio.com/slidemove/ as suggested and still the component does not show the pictures.
I have deployed the original sample at http://test.cdrprophoto.com/ and the pathToFiles is "slider/" as I have not changed anything and it still doesn't work.
the path to the is http://test.cdrprophoto.com/slider/xml...

Again, I have other 4 components from you working great, this is the only one that when deployed to the server it doesn't work. Would it be possible the file I downloaded is not the right one?

Andrei Potorac

on 20/4/10

Sorry for any inconvenience. I need to see what is wrong on the server directly. Can you provide me the ftp details at [email protected] please?

Thanks.
