Hi Chuck,

the issue was in order for html to display the flash, the html has to be on the same domain where swf and xml. If i put the html on a different domain (say domain B) and reference the swf from say domain A, it doesn’t work. Although i somehow figured out a way of modify your swf to make it work, but images and xml files have to be in the same directory as the swf file. Cheers.

Thanks you!!

Scratch that.. I got the linking to work.

I just need help embeding the actually main SWF into my own index page. Could you help me with that code.

Also how do I change the color of the green on the titles to another color.

hi chuck- great file.

i’m not much of a flash person but i do have it on my computer. this seemed like a great solution for some of my music reviews that i want to feature. in order to change the title of LATEST NEWS , how do i do that? double clicking on the movie click called “title” brought it to the stage but i can’t seem to change it?

keep in mind i don’t know much about flash. i was able to edit the xml for my other needs quite easily.

thanks again!

Hi jackliu,

Assuming you mean you main flash file, put something like:

 
this.createEmptyMovieClip("news",999)
 news.loadMovie("news.swf")

Hi sandlog,

the latest news title is an image as i do not have the rights to resale that font. Just delete it and add a new textfield using any font you want.

thanks, Chuck

I got to change my colors. Thank you, Im now just wonder what HTML code I use to add this swf news scroller to my own index page and not the one provided. Granted all the names are the same, what would be the embed code or code I would use?

Thanks!

Hi.

there not much code in there!

add inside the head tags:

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>

then in the body:

<div id="flashContent">Failed to load</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
            // <![CDATA[
                var so = new SWFObject("news.swf", "sotester", "660", "490", "8", "#000000");
                so.write("flashContent");
            // ]]>    
            </script>

Hey Chuck, nice file, I’m planning to buy it but i have a question for you. Can I have different sized movieclips where you show a preview thumbnail and part of the news text?

for example at the first news I want to show a bigger text than the second one so the gray background would be bigger than the first movieclip. Also by doing that would the scroll self adapt to the size?

I’m sorry if my question is a bit confusing, I’m not sure how to explain better since English is not my first language.

Thanks!

Chuck, great code and huge lift off my shoulder. Thank you.

One question tho-

I’ve set the followings: in fla file: var useMainAuthor:Boolean = true; in xml file: under each item:

it’s working on the 1st page but after clicking on the [read more], on the summary page where it would show Author: Undefined. Do you intentionally leave that one out for a reason?

just wondering.

Chuck, np. It’s really a good documented file and I was able to fix it myself even though I’m not that good at flash. Will check out your updated file later. Thanks!

Hi,

i bought your news system on flashden and i use it together with richardsons fullscreen scrollbar. Now, when i load your file in his the scrollbar thinks your file is about 2000 pix long because of my xml data. Your file for example display 3 messages ( if the xml file is 10 messages, the scrollbar thinks your file is much longer. ) Any idea how to solve this ?

thx

Hi; This looks like exactly what I am looking for. But I do have one question. Is it possible to place the thumbnails and descriptions, inside a scrolling menu, that moves with the mouse? (insted of having the user click on OLDER each time? or… is is possible to have the menu move up three Or moe at a time when the older button is pressed?

Thanks
