SIMPLEVIEWER............Need serious help

[haagen_dazs]

hi (not sure what other forum to put this in)

i really need some help of simpleviwer. really desperate here..........

I would like to make multiple galleries.
that would mean multiple HMTL files
and each html file would have its RESPECTIVE XML file

the XML that was provided is called imageData.xml

after hours of coding and reverse engineering (literally)
i seem to be having major problems getting the viewer.SWF file to correctly read the XML file for the right information.

there is an important (i believe) code that dreamweaver doesnt insert into my HTML file
i added it

<param value="xmlDataPath=/galleryXML/praise.xml" name="FlashVars">

all images are in /TEST/images
all thumbs are in /TEST/thumbs
all html files are in /TEST/galleryHTML (which contains praise.xml)
all xml file are in /TEST/galleryXML (which contains praise.html)

in my XML file, this is the main part.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SIMPLEVIEWER_DATA maxImageDimension="1000" textColor="0xFF0000" frameColor="0xFFFFFF" bgColor="0x333333"
frameWidth="3" stagePadding="5" thumbnailColumns="3" thumbnailRows="3" navPosition="right" navDirection="LTR"
title="Example Title" imagePath="../images/" thumbPath="../thumbs/">


BASCIALLY : the thing isnt working.

PLEASE if you know coding and stuff like that please help me?
if possible, please email me at
mpang@umich.edu
because its going to be easier...
thanks alot!

Mark

What are you using Simpleviewer with ? I use it as a Picasa plug-in and found it to work just straightforward. I make a different folder for each gallery, then select it on Picasa and export it as webpage with the SimpleViewer template.

I'm not yet happy with some things though. I hate the auto-resize of images...

Not sure if I'm helpful or not, truth is I don't quite get what your problem is... 😕
