Problem with FlashXML.net component

By jfha73 on 29 Jan 2010 at 17:47 UTC

Has anybody encounter this before?

An image speaks more than words so let me show you:

I created this page:

http://www.fsbcomputers.com/node/33

It's supposed to have this flash showing on it:

http://www.fsbcomputers.com/carousel/carousel_gallery.swf

The SWF file loads in both cases, for the page it doesn't find the images, but for the SWF file everything looks like it works perfectly fine.

I think it has to do with the paths and the way Drupal assign the paths to pages.

If anybody has an idea, I'd appreciate it.

Path problem

jfha73 commented 2 February 2010 at 14:27

I got an email from the people of flashxml and they say this problem occurs when the path is not right, so I think it is the way Drupal works with path, but they think they can help me fix it, when I have more info I'll post it, in the mean time the links are disabled.

I used a direct embeding

I used a direct embeding method and then pass the xml file for the images as a flash var...

I wrote a little function which generates the flashvars called generate_flashvars()

The files xml file I built by using a view with the views_bonus pack using XML output.

I also wrote a module config page for the other flash vars. Hopefully I will have a contrib module up sometime after I have finnished writing a view style plugin. And proper embedding code.

<param name="FlashVars" value="imagesXML=/flashxml.xml&thumbWidth=135&backgroundColor=0&<?php print generate_flashvars(); ?>" />

</object>

Hope this helps.
