Have you tried the following from the FAQ?

http://simpleviewer.net/simpleviewer/su … #trouble_7

Please do a screen grab and check the color values in photoshop or similar. When I look at www.jeanparadis.com/HDR/index.html here the image frame color is #FFFFFF.

Any thoughts on my color cast issue?

Felix, 
I know you say that when you look at my site (www.jeanparadis.com/HDR/index.html) you don't see the color cast but I do!

I could send you a screen capture of it if you want. The color cast disappears when I go to fullscreen and reappears when I return to normal mode.

Thanks,

Jean

Felix,

To answer your questions:

What browser and OS are you using?: I am seeing the problem on both my work and home environments:
- home: Windows 7 64-bit w/ Explorer v8
- office: Windows XP Pro w/ Explorer v7 and Firefox 3.5.2

I have the latest version of the Flash player.

I replaced the simpleviewer with the color corrected one on both my existing galleries and also created a brand new one.
Same results.

The fact that not just the photos but also the screen objects (back link, buttons, page title) have the color cast and the fact that the cast dissappears in fullscreen mode seem to be important clues.

Also, when I watch the screen paint itself, I notice that the loading bar is originally white but soon after gains the color cast.

Thanks for you help!

Jean

No, no brown shade on the demo examples.

I just purchased the Pro version to take advantage of the color profile recognition.
But I am having the same issue (a color cast over the page) except the color cast that I am seeing is blue.
When I go to full screen mode, the color cast disappears.

I don't think it has anything to do with my web page's html code, because the issue is found in the example gallery that is received as part of the purchase (in: simpleviewer_pro_203 > examples > color_corrected ). When I open the "index.html" file that is sent inside the "color_corrected" folder, the page loads with a blue hue over the top of everything. This goes away in full screen mode.

I updated to the latest version of Flash, and my browsers are up to date (Safari and Firefox being the main two I use).

Any ideas?
I wonder if the issue is in the code of the .swf file...?

(And of course, thank you for any help you can offer)

Sorry for the delayed reply; I was out of town.

The issue is present on my home machine: G5 tower running Mac OS 10.4.11 // Firefox 3.6.3 // Flash Version 10.1
The "web" folder version of SimpleViewer loads correctly (no hue over the top in either browser mode, or full screen mode). The "color_ corrected" example loads the sample index gallery with a blue hue over the top of the page (which goes away when the gallery is viewed in full screen mode).

Based on your suggestion, I tried loading the sample galleries onto my work machine (MacBookPro running OS 10.5.8 with Flash v10.1). Everything seems to load correctly on this machine in both Firefox and Safari. (No apparent hues when the gallery is loaded on that machine).

So in short, color correction loads correctly on one of my machines, but not the other. Kind of a bummer, since I do my editing on my desktop.

Is there any reason why it works in Full Screen mode, but has a hue in browser viewing?
I can probably live with it, assuming the majority of machines out there don't experience the problem (specifically clients of mine).
[Anyone else out there reading this thread notice any hues when working with ICC and flash?]

Anyway, I appreciate the help! I still have to do some more experimenting and now try utilizing the ICC support and hope that it publishes correctly.

Thanks for the response! I'm glad that administrators reply at SimpleViewer (unlike some other forums).

Cheers

Bingo! Adding that code removes the color cast that I was experiencing on my desktop system!

So, are there any drawbacks to adding that line of code? (I am not necessarily the most code-savvy page creator).
With that new item added to the html file, does it affect color rendering, or the ICC support? In essence: what does that piece of code do while it is also fixing the color issue I was having on my system...?

If there are no major drawbacks, then thank you! I think it solves it.

Very much appreciated!

I'm not seeing text artifacts in Windows with Firefox, Chrome or IE, it may be a mac issue.

Did you upload the SWFs using fetch? If so install another FTP Client such as cyberduck or filezilla, delete the swfs from the server, upload the swfs again using the new FTP Client, clear your browser's cache and reload the page. Also you should move the JavaScript to the head of your doc for SimpleViewer 2.

To set the wmode parameter to 'transparent' in the embedding code for SimpleViewer v2.1, use the following code sample:

<script type="text/javascript" src="svcore/js/simpleviewer.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
flashvars.galleryURL = "gallery.xml";
var params = {};
params.wmode = "transparent";
var attributes = {};
attributes.id = "svInstance";
$(document).ready(function () {
SV.simpleviewer.load("sv-container", "100%", "100%", "222222", true, flashvars, params, attributes);
});
</script>
