Topic: Problems embedding in Dreamweaver

I'm getting the same problem as most people with Dreamweaver. I get the page that says "Autoviewer requires flash to play. Get Flash."

Here's my code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<div style="position: absolute; width: 465px; height: 164px; z-index: 1; left: 238px; top: 379px" id="layer1">
<div id="flashcontent">AutoViewer 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("autoviewer.swf", "viewer", "800", "600", "8", "#181818");
fo.write("flashcontent");

I've looked at all the other topics about this but with no avail. Can anyone help?
Here's my page: http://www.keatonjohnson.com
Navigate to the "Photo" section. That's where I wanted the autoviewer function.

Thanks

Re: Problems embedding in Dreamweaver

On your page, you have the line:

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

... which is missing the opening '<'.
It should be:

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

Still getting the "get flash" error.

Re: Problems embedding in Dreamweaver

Your gallery is looking for the files 'swfobject.js' and 'autoviewer.swf' in the following locations:
http://www.keatonjohnson.com/swfobject.js
http://www.keatonjohnson.com/autoviewer.swf
... and they do not exist there.
Please see step #2 in the 'AutoViewer Embedding Guide': http://simpleviewer.net/autoviewer/supp … dding.html

Now I'm just getting the example gallery..

Re: Problems embedding in Dreamweaver

Your gallery's XML file is the XML file from the sample gallery: http://www.keatonjohnson.com/gallery.xml
Have you renamed your own gallery's XML file or uploaded it to a different location?

It's not the sample gallery.xml.

This is what my gallery.xml looks like:

</simpleviewergallery>

It's in the same folder as my .html file that is the page.

Re: Problems embedding in Dreamweaver

Your gallery page is now missing the reference to the 'swfobject.js' file:

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

Ok, I added that line to my gallery.xml page. Still getting the error. I'm placing it at the very end of the code, right before </simpleviewergallery>

Is that the correct location?

Re: Problems embedding in Dreamweaver

The line should be placed in your gallery's HTML document (not the XML file).
It was there when I checked your gallery yesterday (and is the line that was missing the opening '<' which you corrected before the entire line went missing).
The embedding code in your HTML page should look something like the following:

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<div id="flashcontent">AutoViewer requires JavaScript and the Flash Player. <a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer/">Get Flash here.</a> </div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var fo = new SWFObject("autoviewer.swf", "autoviewer", "100%", "100%", "8", "#000000");
//Optional Configuration
//fo.addVariable("langOpenImage", "Open Image in New Window");
//fo.addVariable("langAbout", "About");
//fo.addVariable("xmlURL", "gallery.xml");
fo.write("flashcontent");
</script>

Put that in my html code, now all i'm getting is this: http://www.keatonjohnson.com/photo

Re: Problems embedding in Dreamweaver

I'm sorry I overlooked your reply as it was included in the quote.

The problem with your gallery is that the XML file found here: http://www.keatonjohnson.com/gallery.xml
... is in the format for SimpleViewer, not AutoViewer.

How did you create your gallery and are you intending it to be AutoViewer or SimpleViewer?
Your first post in this thread implies it should be an AutoViewer gallery (with AutoViewer embedding code and a reference to AutoViewer) but it was originally posted in the SimpleViewer v2 forum. (I moved it to the AutoViewer forum.)

If you do intend the gallery to use AutoViewer, then recreate your AutoViewer gallery on your computer and replace the http://www.keatonjohnson.com/gallery.xml file on your web server.

If you intend the gallery to use SimpleViewer, then please follow the 'SimpleViewer Embedding Guide' here: http://simpleviewer.net/simpleviewer/su … dding.html

Ok FINALLY got my images to work, now just how do I resize autoviewer? In other words, I'd like to make it fullscreen.

Re: Problems embedding in Dreamweaver

The gallery dimensions can be set in the following line of code:

var fo = new SWFObject("autoviewer.swf", "viewer", "800", "600", "8", "#181818");

The '800' above refers to the gallery's width (in pixels) and the '600' refers to the gallery's height (also in pixels).

In other words, I'd like to make it fullscreen.

Change both these values to '100%', ie:

var fo = new SWFObject("autoviewer.swf", "viewer", "100%", "100%", "8", "#181818");

Re: Problems embedding in Dreamweaver

That just seems to make it go across the width of the page, not the height.

Re: Problems embedding in Dreamweaver

Make sure that all parent containers of your 'flashcontent' <div>, including 'html' and 'body', have their heights also set to 100%.
See this SimpleViewer FAQ (also relevant for other viewers) for details: http://simpleviewer.net/simpleviewer/su … ml#embed_7

I'm not sure i'm following you. Where in this is there another area to change the height and width? Excuse my incompetence, I'm just getting started with this whole HTML thing.

Change:

}

... to:

html {
    height: 100%;
}
body {
    background-color: #666;
    height: 100%;
}

Re: Problems embedding in Dreamweaver

Hmm still a horizontal bar across the top of the screen..

Is there a way I could align it with a <div>?

Re: Problems embedding in Dreamweaver

Try:

html {
    height: 100%;
}
body {
    background-color: #666;
    height: 100%;
}
#flashcontent {
    height: 100%;
}

Here's the complete <style> section from the sample 'web' gallery from the AutoViewer download package:

<style type="text/css">    
    /* hide from ie on mac \*/
    html {
        height: 100%;
        overflow: hidden;
    }    
    #flashcontent {
        height: 100%;
    }
    /* end hide */
    body {
        height: 100%;
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
        background-color: #181818;
        color:#ffffff;
        font-family:sans-serif;
        font-size:40;
    }    
    a {    
        color:#cccccc;
    }
</style>
