XML Driven flash - how can i get it to work??

Does anyone know how to add a flash object such as a flash slideshow onto my home page that uses an xml file to determine file location, size etc...ie. an xml driven flash file.

also, wondering why my pre-loader for my current flash object only works in all browsers but Internet explorer? IE just displays nothing until its loaded?

appreciate all help...

RE:XML Driven flash - how can i get it to work??

Hello,

1) 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.

2) Have you flash installed in IE? This could be also a javascript issue. I would recommend you to install the firebug plugin into Firefox and check the site for javascript errors.

Best Regards,
Boris Pocatko
