Hi,
I'm having some problems to read the XML file when it's in another server.

the scenario:
I put it into one server (www.server1.com/xml/banner.xml) and I'm trying to read it from my test server (www.testserver.com/test/index.htm).Inside the "index.htm" I have set pathToFiles variable to empty and xmlPath variable to "http://www.server2.com/xml/banner.xml"
When I load the page (in server1) it looks like swf can't find the banner.xml file.So I've copied the index.htm and the .swf to the same server (server2) containing the xml and it worked but I this is not a valid solution for my problem (it would complicate even more)

Does anyone know why is this happening?

I'm sorry, I've made some mistakes in my text:

I load the page on testserver and it doesn't work, if I load it on the server1 (that contains the banner.xml), it works.

Your XML banner is really a great product. I wonder if it's possible to use 2 XML banner rotator on the same HTML page. I make a try with a copy-paste of the code but not working.
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Firstly you need to make sure you pass two different IDs to each of the two banners, so that you can embed the swf file twice 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.

I'm sorry but you can't change that. You can only customize the effect.

Hello!

I wonder if it's possible to align de caption box to the bottom and make it grows to top according to the text size?

Thank you!

Hi,
This is possible only if some the changes are done in the code. It's not possible to the current banner.

hey guys, nice work! thanks a lot for this exellent product. im stuck on the control bar and grid lines however.

1> Is it possible to remove the grid lines?
2> i moved the control box out of the pictures (using y = -25) yet how am i supposed to setup my index.html so that the picture and control box are included in the showcase (i.e. if my showcase is 500*300, picture size 500 *270 leaving 30 for the control box, what value should i set in the index.html (if i set 500*300, then the picture is stretched, if i set 500*270, the control box is no where to be found)

SOS...

Hi,
If I understood right you don't want the control box over the images, right?
This, unfortunately, isn't possible, unless the code is modified.

To remove the grid lines in the xml file set value for the attribute alphaNet to 0.

Hello! I am interested in whether the possibility of using the Cyrillic alphabet in xml file and how, since when typing Cyrillic in the xml file on the screen do not get nothing where the title!

 

Marius-Cristian Donea

Hi,
You will need to use a font that supports Cyrillic characters.
This post might help:
