Re: "swfobject is undefined"

do you have this line at the top of the HTML? 

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

Re: "swfobject is undefined"

maybe this will help . . .

my webpage is http://www.pane-e-formaggio.com/products.html

the gallery opens, no problem (with images) if you click the "breads-sourdough" above.
but i don't want a new window.


why am i not seeing my images inside the simpleviewer thats embeded?  i have a folder called "breads_sourdough" and inside that is the gallery.xml, the index.html, the swfobject.js  & viewer.swf. . . with of course the images & thumbs (folders) also inside the main folder ( breads_sourdough ). NO LUCK.

i havethis in the head tags: <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>

this is the code i have in the .html page (products) i am having the problem with.

<div id="flashcontent">SimpleViewer requires Macromedia Flash.
<a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer/">Get Macromedia Flash.</a>
If you have Flash installed, <a href="index.html?detectflash=false">click to view gallery</a></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
var fo = new SWFObject("viewer.swf", "viewer", "715", "500", "7", "#999966");
fo.addVariable("preloaderColor", "0xffffff");
fo.addVariable("xmlDataPath", "gallery.xml");
fo.write("flashcontent");
</script>

Re: "swfobject is undefined"

i started from scratch now, so this page finds the gallery, just that i get the X's instead of the images . . . as i said, only in the embeded page .. if you cllick the 'breads-sourdough" you will see that the gallery is there.

Re: "swfobject is undefined"

the reason the Xs show is that the simpleviewer SWF cannot find the images as they are not in the http://www.pane-e-formaggio.com/images folder.

If you are trying to switch between multiple SV galleries there are 2 methods:

1) Create a separate folder for each SV gallery and use your top navigation to navigate to the required folder. Check Q16 on the FAQ: http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simp … r/faq.html

2) Use an iFrame to load your separate galleries into 1 page. Do a seacrh for iFrame in this forum to get more info.
