Hi,

I recently purchased and applied a skin which contained an XML-drive flash banner. I'm sure it's pretty standard stuff - the XML uses absolute urls (e.g. http://domain/Portals/_default/skin/skinname/file.png) to point to one or more images and provides a way to configure transitions between images. When I first applied the skin, I had to unzip it, modify the XML file, add my own images, zip it up and then upload the skin...

 

My question is, if I just want to change some images and update the XML, do I have to upload the whole skin again or can I replace JUST the xml and images? How do I do that?

 

Thanks!

 There are many different techniques for doing this. The method we use is to allow customers to ftp xml and images to a paricular folder that is hard wired in the flash source. I would have thouht most developers would use this approach. So the answer is try just xml and image approach first.

I can upload the images to a folder, no problem, and point my xml at them. However, how do I upload the XML file? Where does it go? When I uploaded the skin, it get "absorbed" into the DNN database. How do I upload just the new XML file into DNN so that it gets picked up?

Thanks!

 I am not surei in your senario, how your flash/action script relates the images or to the xml. However, in our custom work, we supply a xml file that gets uploaded with the new images and it sits next to the image files. Flash talks to the xml file and not the DB. The other approach we make in some of our work is to do the animation as a DNN module that is a completly different process to the one you are refering to.
