    Carousel menu system.

    Greetings I have searched the forums but cant find any reference to sites that have implemented a flash carousel system.

    I have looked at Flshow (www.flshow.net) and would like to use this and manage this via Fragments, is this possible and does anyone have eperience of implementing this or other Carousel systems for use within Actinic?

    I have downloaded it but cant seem to get it to function if I use the following script in a fragment the flash wont display:-

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

    <style type="text/css">
    body {
    color: #996633;

    }
    .carousel_container {
    width: 650px;
    height: 250px;

    }
    </style>
    </head>

    <body>

    <div class="carousel_container">
    <div id="carousel1">
    <p>This slideshow requires <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">Adobe Flash Player 9.0</a> (or higher). JavaScript must be enabled.</p>
    </div>
    </div>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    swfobject.embedSWF("Carousel.swf", "carousel1", "600", "250", "9.0.0", false, {xmlfile:"default.xml", loaderColor:"0x000"}, {bgcolor: "#996633"});
    </script>

    </body>
    </html>
    >!!

    The same script works fine in a vanilla html web site. All images and the .xml are in the site1 directory. Any help appreciated.

    I haven't tried this, and can't give you a definitive answer, but the problem might be with where the .swf file is in relationship to the final Actinic page on the website. You might want to try using an absolute reference for the .swf file in the code, ie

    "http://www.yourwebsite.com/your-flash-files-folder/carousel.swf"

    Also, look at the html for the final Actinic page to make sure that your code "arrived in one piece" and wasn't mangled.

    You might want to have a look at these guys too, we will be implementing one of their components soon:

      if you are creating the xml file yourself, you may want to create it outside of actinic, in notepad or similar and upload it seperately.

      if its being created in actinic, then i'd check for mangled-ness as suggested.

      with respect to the swf file itself, i suggest you use an absolute url (full web address).

      this way, you'll know that you're getting the right file.
