Topic: I need some help, I have Dreamweaver CS4 and need to imbed simpleviewe

I need some help, I have Dreamweaver CS4 and need to imbed simpleviewer into my current html page.  I have the most currnet flashplayer and all.  How do I do this?  http://www.skinnyatlas.net/GraphicDesign.html

This is in my html page

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<div id="flashcontent">SimpleViewer requires JavaScript and the Flash Player.
<a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer/">Get Flash.</a></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var fo = new SWFObject("SimpleViewer/viewer.swf", "viewer", "640", "640", "8", "#181818");
fo.addVariable("xmlDataPath", "SimpleViwer/gallery.xml");
fo.write("flashcontent");   
</script>

and here is my .xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<simpleviewerGallery maxImageWidth="480" maxImageHeight="480" textColor="0xffffff" frameColor="0xffffff" frameWidth="20" stagePadding="40" navPadding="40" thumbnailColumns="3" thumbnailRows="3" navPosition="left" vAlign="center" hAlign="center" title="SimpleViewer Title" enableRightClickOpen="false" backgroundImagePath="" imagePath="" thumbPath="">

    <caption>FallingUpAcousticEPCDcover.jpg</caption>

    <filename>SHBtshirtHolyShirt.jpg</filename>
    <caption>SHBtshirtHolyShirt.jpg</caption>

    <caption>TheSHBPromoCDCover.jpg</caption>
</image>
<image>
    <filename>XmasCDcover.jpg</filename>
    <caption>XmasCDcover.jpg</caption>
</image>
</simpleviewerGallery>

Everything is in the a folder labeled "SimpleViewer" in the website folder (images, xml, swf, swobject.js)

If you disable the SpryMenuBar does it work?

It dosen't work when I view it locally, should I delete the sprymenubar on the page and upload it to the server and try it that way?

I looks like you are loading swfobject twice.

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

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

Re: I need some help, I have Dreamweaver CS4 and need to imbed simpleviewe

If I go directly to the Viewer it works fine, so it has to be something in the page. The second swfobject is at about line 189 just about the <div id="flashcontent"> ah ha and it looks like it's pointing to the wrong place.

it's currently pointing to:
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
http://www.skinnyatlas.net/swfobject.js

but should be pointing to:
<script type="text/javascript" src="SimpleViewer/swfobject.js"></script>
http://www.skinnyatlas.net/SimpleViewer/swfobject.js


Also this style should be inside the head tag

<style type="text/css">
<!--
p {
    font-size: 12pt;
}
h3 {
    font-size: 10px;
}
#sidebar1 h3 {
    font-size: 10pt;
}
.font {
    font-size: 8px;
}
font {
    font-size: 6px;
}
#container #sidebar1 h3 {
    font-size: 6pt;
}
-->
</style>

It is all coming up on my page now after I loaded correctly on the server and changes the script path, but now no images appear, just X's, the script the the .xml page seem to be right, i think.

fo.addVariable("xmlDataPath", "SimpleViewer/gallery.xml");
fo.write("flashcontent");   
</script>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
   
   
  </div>
  <div id="footer">
    <p>
      <!-- end #footer -->
    </p>
    <p>&nbsp; </p>
  </div>
<!-- end #container --></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

Re: I need some help, I have Dreamweaver CS4 and need to imbed simpleviewe

change your xml thumbPath from SimpleViewer/thumbs to SimpleViewer/thumbs/

change your xml imagePath from SimpleViewer/Images to SimpleViewer/images/ or change the folder name to have an uppercase 'I'.

It's working fine for me, if you are still having issues try clearing your browsers cache.
