XML Image Slideshow

A free flash + XML image slideshow (gallery)

Fashionable flash + XML image slideshow with slick navigation and design, fully customizable from XML, with a motion blur effect on image transition. The gallery navigation bar changes its color based on the displayed photo colors.

Is there an easy way to remove the controller altogether? I just want the motion blur gallery with no interactive features. I tried deleting the controller layer in the FLA, but that break it. Then I tried setting the bar transparency to 0 and the bar color to white (my gallery's background color), but it still shows the current slide indicator.

Hello! Firstly, wonderful products. I have successfully installed both the XML slideshow and MP3 player on my site, but am still having trouble installing multiple versions of both - I would like to have 3 or 4 slideshows, and 2 mp3 players. Here is what I have done so far, please tell me what I need to fix.

1. I have created a new .xml settings file that has the info for the photos I want in the second slideshow.

2. I have duplicated the .swf file and renamed it, and put the second .swf file in my root folder.

3. I have altered the index.html file pathToFiles and whatnot to the following for the second slideshow:

                flashvars.pathToFiles = "/banner";
	flashvars.xmlPath = "xml/pressPhotos.xml";
                

What else do I need to do? The problem I'm running into is that whenever I embed the second slideshow, it is still only loading the photos from the first slideshow. Thanks in advance for your help!

Firstly 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.

How exactly do you pass two different IDs to each component? That must be where I'm getting stuck. Thanks!

Hi, when you duplicate the embeding code, so that you can have two components you change the id from the div container and attributes.id from the JavaScript section.

I have a big problem. I have a Wibiya toolbar at the bottom of my website doesn't scroll over your flash components. The reason your flash object is overlapping the toolbar is because its missing the "wmode=transparent" parameter. I tried adding flashvars.wmode = "transparent"; but it didn't work.

Am I missing something.

wmode is a parameter not a flashvar. You should have
params.wmode = "transparent"; .

Set the value to flashvars.pathToFiles to nothing.

                flashvars.pathToFiles = "";

Hi,
I've just downloaded your Slideshow(with XML) and i'm opening all files to find where i can change things to make it's layout match with my site layout. I have to change many things so it will match. I thought all the codes would be inside one single file, but there are maaany files! I feel lost. And i didn't find a tutorial explaninng where i can change things!

So i found the preview file. But there is no .FLA of Preview file! How can i change the format of the symbols.. sizes.. everyting? I want to put my layout with your file functionality.

One more thing, is that the page says it's a component. So i can install it on my flash component tab or it's a "component" file.. ?

Thanks for your attention.
I hope you can help me.

Hi,
To change the layout of the component you must edit settings.xml.
All the source files are in project\source folder.
You can embed the component in any AS3 project.

Hi Marius,

There's no settings.xml.

There are AS files inside some folders, like: source, com/vuzum/banner/, com/vuzum/utils/, com/zorked/ and caurina (a lot of AS files).
But XML only in: deploy/banner/xml/banner.xml

Anyway, there's no settings.xml. I've changed index.html, banner.xml and projectCS3.FLA file and a few things changed but it's very difficult to personalize the slideshow to my needs.

For example, i need 2 dynamic text fields (like title and description) and i want to set it's both positions (x and y). I have no idea where to start to adapt the code to make it works. I saw there's "title" tag in banner.xml, then i puted some words and tested movie, but nothing happened. I didn't see any text.

Any help?

Hello.
I downloaded a slideshow and I could change the properties from XML successfully. The problem is when I inserted a "Div PA in Dreamweaver and I can not display ... I copied the folder to my site" Deploy "and I have worked with her. Is this correct? There's something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!...

Hi,
You will have to copy the JavaScript code to you page to. You have an embedding example in index.html from the deploy folder.

Hello,
Can you send me a link?
I think you are using the fla you exported and you didn't installed the fonts, that is why the title isn't showing.

Hello!
Thank you very much for your help.
I've done what you have told me in his first post and I could see the slideshow correctly.

Greetings.

This is beautiful! Silly question, but is there a way to get ride of the play and pause or should i just make it invisible? Also, is there a way to get rid of the motion blur and just have it crossfade?

Hi,
To stop the animation you need to set in the XML slideShowTime node value to 0.
[XML]0[/XML]
For the transition effect change the value of fadeTransition attribute to true.

Is there a way to make the slideshow automatically scale down pictures to fit in the window?

Hi,
The code needs to be modified. After the image is loaded you can use a small script to resize it.
