Carousel flash photos - no link

Hi there,

I'm testing a carousel by this person:
http://www.flshow.net/

and have managed to get it working with the xml file in the root directory and linking to images I have in /images/Products.

The problem I'm having is trying to link the images to product pages - I think that would be much better than just displaying the images.

This is the code (link just to homepage for now):

<photo href="http://www.chileno.co.uk">/images/Products/Azzurro_carousel.jpg</photo>

I get the images but no link. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

I'm testing the carousel here:
http://www.chileno.co.uk/index.php?main_page=page&id=41

Works in firefox but doesn't seem to in ie.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Matt

Re: Carousel flash photos - no link

updating if anyone else is interested in using this:

<photo href="http://www.chileno.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=13">http://www.chileno.co.uk/images/Products/Azzurro_carousel.jpg</photo>

this worked for me - only in firefox though...

Re: Carousel flash photos - no link

...and now nothing. I just get a big white screen with the shockwave logo in the center. Is there anything about shockwave that zenc art doesn't like I wonder? I'm confused as to how the flash became broken when nothing had changed...
:unsure:

I can play the .swf fileitself:
http://www.chileno.co.uk/Carousel.swf

in most browsers (ff. ie, chrome, opera).

Re: Carousel flash photos - no link

don't know if anyone will want to know this but anyway, I've inserted the file as flash not as shockwave and it seems to work...for now. In Opera, there is no directional control and no links from photos - no idea what's going on there :frusty:
