Flash plugin not pulling images in

Development and Programming

Hey there,

I’m using the Flash plugin to pull in images from an XML file. The .swf file works fine when played directly off the server, but when implemented into the site, it continuously is “loading”. I assume its not able to find the images for the flash piece. Maybe this plug in cannot use this type of flash the way its set up.

Here’s the code: {exp:flashplugin file="{site_url}flash/bcm_flashbanner.swf” width=”957” height=”217”} {/exp:flashplugin}

The .swf pulls images from a jpg folder and the xml code looks like this:

<banners> <item> <imageFile> <![CDATA[jpg/BCM_homepage_a.jpg]]> </imageFile> </item> <item> <imageFile> <![CDATA[jpg/BCM_homepage_b.jpg]]> </imageFile> </item> <item> <imageFile> <![CDATA[jpg/BCM_homepage_c.jpg]]> </imageFile>

</item>
<item>
    <imageFile>
        <![CDATA[jpg/BCM_homepage_d.jpg]]> 
    </imageFile>
</item>
<item>
    <imageFile>
        <![CDATA[jpg/BCM_homepage_e.jpg]]> 
    </imageFile>
</item>
<item>
    <imageFile>
        <![CDATA[jpg/BCM_homepage_f.jpg]]> 
    </imageFile>
</item>

</banners>

I have tried putting [{site_url}flash/jpg/image.jpg] but it still does not work. Any other suggestions?

Thank you!

Hi, Amanda.

Try changing the jpg/ to use /jpg/ instead.

Hi Sue,

I tried that as well and still couldn’t get it to work. I checked the plugins management, and everything seems to be installed correctly. I’m not sure why It’s not popping up.

Thanks.

I’m going to move this to the plugins forum, since this is a third party offering. Also to allow for more community involvement.
