RE:Problem with flash

Hi,

To be honest, it is very hard to achieve this. One option is to use the NewsRss as the XML file (www.kentico.com/docs/devguide/setting_up_an_rss_feed.htm).

Second option is to create a special page template (e.g. blank) with custom web part/control which will ensure generation of the XML and will redirect the request e.g. to CMSPages folder to the XML file using the query string value.. The page will have aspx extension but it will have XML content. I hope it makes sense.

This feature it currently not supported natively.

Regarding to the second post - could you please try this: http://devnet.kentico.com/Knowledge-Base/API-and-Internals/Kentico-CMS-and-Flash-10.aspx

Are you able to view flash from other web sites? I am afraid but I am not aware of any easier way how to use the XML for flash. Best Regards, Juraj Ondrus

RE:Problem with flash

Hi,

You need to develop custom web part/control. This control will generate the XML content according to your needs and it will perform a redirection to some file where the XML content will be stored (similar to rss feeds). So, this file will be the source XML for the flash as you need. You can also use e.g. some query string parameters to pass some values when redirecting.
