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.

is the following, I am making a banner with pictures of some countries, and that banner is
to have a movieclip below with the flags of countries, and as the country appears
the flag has to increase in size, I want to do is to link this increase
banner with the banner of the country, for example, if you see the picture of the italy
flag of italy has to increase, I want to link the increase in size with the banner
in xml

Sorry, I still don't understand what you mean. Either way, this component cannot be customized in that manner. Please contact us with a detailed brief, and we can send you a quote for custom work.

We'll also need a mock-up design, because it's not making sense what you're saying.

i downloaded the file you linked to me but i can't understand how to work it out...or better...i don't know how to use it for my work...i would just like to load (i tried with loadMovie...) this Gallery into a PLAIN .fla...i'm a newbie with classes that's the problem :(

loadMovie is an AS2 so I assume that your project is in AS2. The component is developed in AS3 and you can't load a AS3 component into a AS2 project.

how can you make it not cache the images???

when i add new ones i have to erase my cache to see the changes and i cant keep having my users do that u know

hope u can help

Hello
I don't think you can do anything about it.
Maybe if you try to change the path to the xml file the browser will not display the old images.

i erased the +cachebuster i thought it would help
but yeah the path thing worked for me

The cacheBuster is used to keep the swf out of cache.

Great :D thank you. just one question. i changed the size of my pictures to 745 W and 387 H, but the pics are cutting off. I dont know how to resize it so please can anyone be kind enuf to help?

Thanks

You have to resize the swf to. It can be done by changing stageW and stageH values in the embedding code.

                
var stageW = "745";
var stageH = "387";

You can change the position from the xml. Just modify captionX and captionY attributes.

Hello Guys.

Thanks for this wonderful and useful product. I just have one problem. I created two XML banners rotator in one page. I'm done with the changes of photos & editing of the text but when I started to view it, the second banner does not show. It's the same banner of the first. Do I have to change the file name or the code???

Thanks for your help.

Hello,
You need to make sure you pass two different IDs to each of the component, so that you can embed the swf files correctly. You do not need to duplicate the swf. In order to have different files play for each instance of the swf, you need to pass different XML files. You can pass different settings XML files too, so that the same swf can look different on the same page if you need to.
If you still encounter problems send me the files at [email protected] and I can configure them for you.
