XML Banner Rotator

This is a highly customizable XML Banner Rotator with more than 35 XML options, including the masking size and speed.

You can control the position of the elements on the screen, the number of images, as well as the colors - all from XML.

As always, you can use this Flabell Flash Component in any size you need, as well as in other HTML or FLA files.

Zeecho, as far as I know, even the text loaded dynamically is now SEO friendly. Google actually did that this year. :-)

If you want to remove the read more button, simply pass no link to the images, and there won't be a read more button anymore. That's linked to what you send through XML.

Check slide 10.

Just wondering how you can resize the entire banner. Not just the cell size? Hoping to extend the width to roughly 600px but keep the same height. Any help?

Zeecho, this option doesn't exist. You should modify the code to have it work like this.

michele10, we'll provide video tutorials and detailed help files with the new design release, which should happen very soon. In the meantime, we try to help by giving additional information to you guys.

In order to embed the file in your website, please use the sample embed code we have in index.html. Note the pathToFiles variable needs to be set based on the location where you place the banner. Check out the tutorial where we explain how this variable must be set.

distinct to do that, all you need to edit is the values in the XML if you are using it inside another Flash project, or the html values if you embed it into an html page.
