I seem to be struggling with portrait images if the SWF is set 100% for width and height. It seems to chop the images. Any suggestions/ideas?

BF;

I was just reading this in the new 6.1

New feature: Added 'Stretch content' property to layer. This can be used to position and resize objects based on the size of the browser window.

Now does this mean in order to achieve what I wanted to do I need to place your extension on a layer object?

Been trying to use this extension and have ran into a problem. It works great with 6.0.2.0, but doesnot work with 6.1.0.0 . Like stamjoe said earlier in FF I see the pictures I choose but nothing else and its not even where I put it on the page. In IE it doesnt even come up at all.

Evening iamafireman2 I just made this demo in WB6 v6.1 and it seems to be working at my end on PC and on test server... are you trying to put images into the image folder then test? if this is what you are doing then this is why it wont show images as the path is not pointing to them in the xml file. When you test in WB6 and preview the extension pass the path to the xml as such
<track>
<title>Hello world</title>
<creator>Just me</creator>
<location>full6.jpg</location>
<info>http://ww.mywebsite.com</info>
</track>
<track>
This can be overcome by making the path in extenion in the properties
like this then saving...and uploading the images on your server to folder images then it will be seen
http://mywebsite.co.uk/images/mypics.jpg

Although I havnt done this is demo the purpose is to show it working

http://justtesting123.comuf.com/rotator/

take a look here this is a live site using the extension

I must be missing something. Where in the properties do I change the path of the pictures? And do I need to manually load all pictures to the server? Should the xml look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/">
- <trackList>
- <track>
<title>Hello world</title>
<creator>Just me</creator>
<location>http://www.youonthenetyet.net/ttmp/imag ... </location>
<info />
</track>
- <track>
<title>Hello world</title>
<creator>Just me</creator>
<location>http://www.youonthenetyet.net/ttmp/imag ... </location>
<info />
</track>
</trackList>

As sneil69 has posted you need to show the path to your images it can be done like this in extension....

Like this
Image
Or This
Image

You will still have manually upload the images to the correct folder on your server though this needs to be the same as you put in extension it doest need to be images as long as the path in the xml points to the folder you place the images in

Ok I have changed the path to include ".jpg" still having a problem. In IE all i see is the pictures but no header. In both FF and IE the pictures are all the way at the top of the page.

I am not sure how you are adding your images judging by your XML file

http://www.youonthenetyet.net/ttmp/playlist.xml

They seem to refer to a URL rather than an absolute path.

This is what I have in mine

<title> </title>
<creator> </creator>
<location>2.jpg</location>
<info> </info>

where as yours

<title>Hello world</title>
<creator>Just me</creator>

<location>
http://www.youonthenetyet.net/ttmp/images/DSC_0011.jpg
</location>
<info> </info>
</track>

If you add the images through the extension, it should be like mine. I would have it at least like this:

<title> </title>
<creator> </creator>
<location>images/2.jpg</location>
<info> </info>

Try doing it this way and I am sure it would work.

Hi ok using the center in WB does mess things up I cant say why....sorry. I manually made this demo and it seems to be ok with me, you can let me know. You mentioned the header not showing in earlier post the reason for this I believe all flash gets sent to front of everything else on page. So with the rotator as you will see in the new doemo I have made its size smaller than the image size and it works fine and when you go fullscreen the image gets displayed at correct size. As always if I can help I will... if it can be fixed....

BF;

Just a question, Is there a reason why there is a limit on the size of the control? Currently it is 250, 259. I know you set the true values in the extension but is there anyway you can relax this limitation on your next update? It is just it makes it easier in design time in relation to other other objects.

Cheers Mate.

Small update to the script that fixes the need to use a iframe when using page centering you can now use without the iframe and place image rotator were you wish.

Anyway we can make the images used in this extension to be saved in the common "Images" folder than scattered around in the open?

Well this has a Yes and No answer...The extension itself cannot add the images directly to the image folder this is because using the dataset feature in ExtBuilder using add file doesnt allow this it just places them in the root... :( it has been requested in suggestion for this to be added in dataset.
The only way to to add them to the image folder is manually but providing the pathway to the folder in the extension itself see the two screens below.
If pablo/support could add this feature in the dataset of Ext Builder then I will rebuild the extension to do so but at present the only way round is below...

Thanks Bacon for your reply.
Actually keeping the images in the images folder keeps the things organised. I hope support reads your reply sometime and adds that feature in the extension builder.
Thanks for your help

Bacon,
I used the older version with an iframe and it works great. I am updating my site and when I use the new version without an iframe I see the round loading bar on just about every picture. I am using the same pictures as before and only see the loading bar on the first picture on page load.
Does using an iframe make the page load different or is the new version of the extension a little heavier in weight and it take that extra second to load.
It not a BIG deal, but the pictures just flow alot better when the loading bar doesnt show up.

Hi ok I have looked at both your pages and the page using the iframe does load faster....I have also looked at the old version of the extension and compared it to that latest release and the the final output size is 60kb greater so it does look like it is heavier, saying this nothing newer was added to the files to cause this everything used to build remained the same I can only asume when the extension was made with the newer version of the builder that it uses stricter coding to make sure that it is compatiable with 6.5.X dont know if there much I can do to fix this as I have taken a look at some of the older versions of extension pre 6.5.x and the size was smaller then compared to all the updates which has increased has inceased... I will askSupport?Pablo regarding this,,,,If you can try the newer version in a iframe and see if this helps the load speed of the extension...I am off to get some sleep and will look more at this tomorrow...

Well as of now the wife said she kinda likes the loading bar when if shows. She says it lets you know that there is something going on.

Also if I have a different rotator on several pages and the pictures have different names do you have to put the pages in folder.
I know if the pages arent in folders than all the images will be in the root folder on hosting but thats ok.

Yes if you wish to use more than one image rotator on your site then you will need to use seperate folders giving each one a unique name...although I havent tried this for a while with the extension you could try giving the pathway to a set folder for the rotator images inserting this in the extenion itself were you add the images...

Bacon, this may be asking alot but anyway you can remove the " hello world,justme, and mywebsite"
I am in the process of a rebuild and have hundreds of photos and to delete all those is 3 more steps "x "hundreds.
I would really appreciate it.

When I am adding this to a page and then see the source
Menu>Page>page html

It is creating three blank lines before the actual code. :roll:

Anyway that can be removed?

So if i correctly understand:

Your php script which should be in the page at the top and checks posting mode and captcha does not work anymore because it does not start at the first line anymore due to the fact that this extension inserts three blank lines at the top of each page the extension is used in?

Am i Right?

The update was just to fix some white space in the top of the source code this space was giving errors when used with other scripts on the same page...if your refering to that I havnt removed the title, location etc in the extension I am leaving this in place as this gives new users a idea to what they need to insert in these inputs....

Just the job - pleased that it still works under 7.20 Top-marks!

p.s. you need to add this one to your \Program Files\WWB\etc Folder to get it to work.
