I have updated my modified script with the new updated parameters. You can view at http://afrosms.com/deploy/default.asp. This takes parameter values from mysql database backend. so if you create an admin page were you can load your images and image specific paramaters through a form it will make your work much more easier than editing xml file directly. As ever am happy to give this to anyone interested to use it.

naffets77 more instructions are on the way. If you set the background transparency to 0, than the color it takes is the one you set in the XML. Should work fine.

You guys have some of the greatest products just one major flaw in every last one of them.
Seems you guys are assuming that all users have knowledge of how to work with flash, html, xml, and java.
A simple example of the html object to be inserted ( with required changes highlighted) would be of great help for example, where do i put the path for swf, xml, js,etc,etc would do the trick or giving a link to a working location on a working website would help too.
Thats just my two cents let's see if the "upcoming video" helps..
By the way, mine is not working.
