RE: issue implementing swfobject using a swf that draws an xml file

Tue, 10 Feb 2009 17:00:20 -0800 

So the carousel.swf is hard coded to load the file named carousel.xml.

What is happening is that since the swf is being loaded from a different
location, the swf makes a call to load the xml, and it is in the context of
the HTML page, so it tries to load the XML from:

http://www.littletreeartstudios.com/index.php/site/studios/carousel.xml

At the moment, the way your server is set up means it serves up the
http://www.littletreeartstudios.com/index.php/site/studios/ page instead.

So, since the swf cannot take in a XML location externally, you can either:

1. set the BASE param on the swf to try to set the correct relative pathing


<script type="text/javascript">
                        var flashvars = {};
                        var params = {};
                        params.base =
"http://www.littletreeartstudios.com/images/";;
                        var attributes = {};
        
swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.littletreeartstudios.com/images/carousel.swf";
, "doors", "590", "150", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
                </script>


OR if that still doiesn't work

2. place the carousel.xml in the location the swf is trying to load it with
absolute paths to the iamges

hmm...

It looks to not displaying properly.....

I also standardized the links in the xml file:

<!--
XML CONFIGURATION HELP
======================

vertical - (yes/no) vertical movement
autoMove -  (yes/no) if set to yes, the carousel will spin by default
maxSpeed - set maximum speed for the carousel
radiusX, radiusY - set carousel x/y radius (these two are inverted in
vertical mode)
blurScale - set blur scale value (recomended values are powers of 2: 2
4 8 16 32 ...)
reflections - (yes/no) enable/disable reflections
showBorder - (yes/no) if set to yes, it will show a border around the
image
showTooltip - (yes/no) if set to yes, it will show a tooltip above the
image
stopOnRollOver - (yes/no) if set to yes, it will pause the movement
when you roll over a thumbnail
allButtons - (yes/no) if set to no, the buttons in the background will
not interact with the mouse
hitAreaWidth, hitAreaHeight - define the hit area where the carousel
will interact with the mouse

-->

radiusY="20" blurScale="8" reflections="yes" showBorder="no"

</carousel>


The only thing I have not hard linked, is the the path to the xml
itself... could this be the problem?

thoughts?
