About Flash .swf

Hallo

Hallo everyone. I have a Crousel that i want to install, but it dosent seem to work. I have read the forum and followed the instructions from Wiki, but nothink works.

Well it works half. It loads the background, but the swf file not.
Here is my swf file http://www.games-en-consoles.com/carousel/carousel.swf so that you can see that there is nofthing wrong whit the swf file. It loads perfectly.

Here is a html file whit the same code that i put in the admin define page editor on the main_page. http://www.games-en-consoles.com/carousel/carousel.html .You can see that it works.

Only when i put the code in the main_page then it just loads the background and not the swf

Please help

I have tried it on FireFox and IE. Non of them work.

first of all , neither of your links work ..

you may want to put your swf file in root of your store .for some reason that works .
don't forget to change your code to point to new location of your swf.

THANKS FOR THE HELP

glad that worked for you :P

Hallo

I just wake up this morning and saw that the Carousel loads fine in IE , but dosent load at all in FireFox. Any sugesstions to why not ?

when it comes to internet you never sleep , never :D

looking at your site using FF 3 and loads all fine

try to empty all your ff cached files and reopening your page and see if you will see the flash .

I hate this chache :)

Now it works fine

BTW: Do you want a link exchange or anythink else for your help ?
PM me if you have anythink in mind

thanks for the offer, but i have no website :smile:

How do you know so much about zen-cart then ? You are probably one of the developers then and you dont have time to build your own site :)

I was thinking WHILE i was sleeping :) my swf file gets its information from a xml file.

example for one image

   <item id="home">
	<link type="_blank">http://www.games-en-consoles.com/ps3-games-c-69/50-cent-blood-on-the-sand-p-209</link>
	<tooltip>50 Cent: Blood on the Sand</tooltip>
	<image>50 Cent - Blood on the Sand.jpg</image>
</item>

Now if i can make it so that he can call from SQL for the data.

Like

That should be possible in a php file, but i dont know if it is possible also in a XML file

im not developer and im far from it, maybe in my next life ..
i do have it installed on my local system . and thats how i do the test to figure problems others have .

i remember reading about same issue on different post , having xml file created from zc database to use for this type of flash application. there was a solution by someone who has implemented this but i have no idea as where about of that post. you may want to do more search about flash with different search terms and see if you can spot that post.

Hey guys,

I have a similar problem. I have a Flash header made of 5 elements, using a xml file to call for the images displayed in the animation:

1. the swf file, "galleriasmall"
2. the xml file listing my images, "fotos"
3. the images folder, "images"
4. an html file, "galleria"
5. and a php file, "lettore"

I have been told to have all 5 elements in the same location, so all are in /damien/images/flash (damien being MY_TEMPLATE)

I had a previous very simple Flash header that worked just fine. (simple swf file, no fancy xml or anything). So i know the code in tpl_header worked for that 1st one.

Obviously my coding skill are still close to none and i can't figure why the background of the new animation show but nothing else.

I tried Tony_sar advice and move the 4 elements to the root (i didn't move the images folder since it already exists but moved the images themselves, so my xml is still right).
Still not working...

I'm lost... HELP !!! :(

I got those files still in both locations. the code in tpl_header points to the swf in the root

Thanks,

btw, Tony, i looked for "xml" in "Customizing the Look of Your Shop" with the Search... no matches.
Am i looking at the wrong part of the forum ?
