I'm trying to insert a Flash slide show in a Dotnetnuke website. I am using XML Flash Slideshow that I have already paid for. Has anyone ever done this? Rather than spending countless hours trying to figure it out I thought I'd see if it had been done before.

I'm new to both XFS and Dotnetnuke.


Thanks,

Doug

Hi Doug, sorry I don't have experience with XML Flash Slideshow in particular; however, I have had great success with integrating Flash JPG Rotator .  It's based on the Creative Commons License, so it's free for non-commercial use.  Take a look at the site, it's actually quite good (various transitions with buttons/paging), easy to implement with DNN, and it's not terribly difficult to modify the Flash source to suit your needs.

Another alternative I've used is a Javascript & XML slideshow (used fading as a transition, but didn't work in Opera properly).

If you need any help, just give me a shout.

cheers, Roselle.

I don't know how to edit my original post, but I think my problem has something to do with the path/directory structure. There is a folder with has to sit in the root of the website. On regular pages this statement goes in the header:

 

<script type="text/javascript" src="v3flashslideshow/slideshow.js"></script>

 

Then were you want the flash slide show you put the following lines of code:

 

<!-- Begin XML Flash Slideshow v3 -->
    <script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
XMLFlashSlideshow_v3({swf:'v3flashslideshow/slideshow.swf',w:'400',h:'300',redirect:'',usePreloader:'true',xml:'v3flashslideshow/slideshow_data0.xml',preventCache:'true',disableMultipleXML:'false',initXML:'%3C?xml%20version=%221.0%22%20encoding=%22utf-8%22?%3E%3Cslideshow%20version=%223%22%3E%0A%20%20%3Cstyles%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%3CPreloader%20label=%22Loading%20%7BN%7D%2525%22%20iconColor=%22#666666%22%20iconAlpha=%2270%22%20iconWidth=%2250%22/%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%3CPreloaderLabel%20font=%22Verdana%22%20size=%2210%22%20color=%22#666666%22%20bold=%22false%22/%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%3CBackground%20backgroundColor=%22#E4E4E4%22%20backgroundAlpha=%22100%22%20bevelColor=%22#FFFFFF%22%20bevelStrength=%2270%22%20borderWidth=%221%22%20borderColor=%22#CC3333%22/%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%3CLoaderAnimation%20type=%22circle%22%20color=%22#FFFFFF%22%20alphaBackground=%2220%22%20alphaInner=%2240%22%20frameWidth=%222%22%20width=%2250%22%20height=%2250%22/%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%3CDataLoader%20useAnimation=%22true%22%20useLabel=%22true%22%20labelPlacement=%22bottom%22%20fadeOutDuration=%22400%22%20textFormat=%22loader_text%22/%3E%0A%20%20%3C/styles%3E%0A%20%20%3Clocalization%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%3Ctext%20orig=%22Loading%20Data...%22%20local=%22Loading%20Data...%22/%3E%0A%20%20%3C/localization%3E%0A%20%20%3Cfonts%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%3Cfont%20id=%22loader_text%22%20name=%22Pixelade%22%20embed=%22true%22%20size=%2213%22%20color=%22#666666%22%20bold=%22false%22%20selectable=%22false%22%20align=%22left%22/%3E%0A%20%20%3C/fonts%3E%0A%3C/slideshow%3E'});

Roselle -

Thanks for the info. What module should I use to implement the Flash?

I used the Text/HTML module to embed the flash (.swf) object on the page.

It would look like this (change file locations as necessary):

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" name="movie" swliveconnect="true" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="561" height="200" bgcolor="#ffffff">
    <param name="movie" value="/Portals/1/jpgrotator.swf?file=/Portals/1/jpgrotator.xml" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff"/>
    <param name="WMode" value="transparent">
    <embed src="/Portals/1/jpgrotator.swf?file=/Portals/1/jpgrotator.xml" quality="high" name="movie" swliveconnect="true" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="561" height="200" bgcolor="#ffffff" wmode="transparent"></embed>
    <br />
</object>

And then in the page's Header field I put the reference to the Javascript file:

<script src="/Portals/1/ufo.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>

Let me know if that works for you.  Double-check your file/directory references if you don't see anything.

cheers,
Roselle
