xml flash gallery / joomla help needed

Question

Hi all, I've bought the "virtual gallery" from flashden but I'm having problems implementing it.. I'm not used to using flash galleries or xml files, so hopefully someone can help me out a bit.

Here's the call to the flash (js):

  var so = new SWFObject("gallery.swf?xml=category_1.xml", "virtualgallery", "100%", "600", "10", "#414141");
  so.addParam("allowFullScreen", "true");
  so.addParam("scale", "noscale");
  so.addParam("menu", "true");
  so.write("flashcontent");

Here's the xml options:

<options imagesFolder="images" thumbsFolder="images/thumbs" viewportMaxWidth="920" viewportMaxHeight="600" sfx="yes" />

And here's my structure and paths:

Images: /images/gallery/

Thumbs: /images/gallery/thumbs/

XML: /components/com_gallery/assets/

SWF: /components/com_gallery/assets/

And the component with the gallery (js) in it is /index.php?option=com_gallery&view=gallery&cid=7&Itemid=2 which is basically this:

/components/com_gallery/views/gallery/tmpl/default.php

I don't think the xml file likes using /images/gallery and I don't think the new SWFObject likes the paths to the swf file etc.. I hope I'm making sense here!

If anyone could help, that would be fantastic.. Thank you :)

Answer 1

I apolagize if my answer is retardedly simple, but your xml option paths and your file structures don't match. This would make it so that the proper files can't be loaded.

Answer 2

Ok, so in the XML I had to do ../../images/gallery/ etc thank you all for your replies!! :)
