hey all,Im new to this web design,but Im not a total dummy.I am making a web site for amy partners and I business venture.What Im wanting to do is use zoom and pan for most of the jpg pics.I am using zoom and pan from here hxxp://activeden.net/item/premium-zoom-and-pan-tool/74597 we liked the effect it presented.Now for the gooey part,I can insert 1 swf file into the web page and make it work.When I try to insert multiple pics in for pan and zoom,it will only display the first pic none of the others.I dont want the menu to show all the pics in the gallery just each individual pic.It doesnt matter what the xml says.It will still only show the first pic. I tried making each pic a seperate swf file and inserting each swf into the needed page.I renamed the xml files I tried renaming the swf files swf1 swf2 swf3 to correspond to the xml file since it reads the xml file to display. Is this even possible what Im trying to do?Or do I need to give up on this and learn some more adobe flash to make my own swf files?I am unemployed atm and Ive been spending days and days on this to no avail.I followed the instructions that state to include the css folder the xml folder and the images folder also the swf file,but no matter what Ive tried to do I can only get 1 pic to pan and zoom.I can get all the pics Ive assembled up into the menu to display them that way but thats not quite what I am trying to do.If Im even making any sense now.I can use dreamweaver to make web pages and front page Im even trying to learn ms expressions geesh.Ive got adobe flash pro and am trying to make sense of action scripts,and flash,I have even nosed around java thinking that it would help but I think it would just confuse me at this point. What am I doing wrong I dont have much hair left to pull out lol.Any and all suggestions welcome at this point.I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but Im not the dullest either lol. Thanks Much guys in advance.
You may take a look at this step by step guide, it will teach you how to convert video to Flash FLV SWF to add video to website and blog, I followed it and successfully embeded MP4 into web page, added MP4 to your website, it's easy to understand, I think it deserves a try.
Thanks nelle for that bit of nfo.That is going to help me with my next project for sure.But for this problem its not what Im trying to do.If you would take a gander at passtimechairs.com and look at the rocking chair pagen you will see whats going on.I have the flash embebbed ok and it works,but it still doesnt quite do what Im wanting it too.I am wanting to take the menu out that shows other pics to click on,then I want to make a different flash for each picture for the pan and zoom,so that when each web page is opened it will display the correct flash pic with the pan and zoom effect.Im thinking it has to do with different xml files because thats what tells the flash what to display.Ive been doing some research and I keep getting more confusd lol,I wonder if its not something to do with the php on the server to make each flash show seperately? Then again it mite not be possible to do with this s/w Im using I may have to scrap the whole project and use another zoom and pan s/w called jqzoom it runs on javascript and I know it will do what I need it to,because I have seen it in action and it is being used for seperate images to be panned and zoomed on different pages with different images but that would mean I need to learn or at least understand how to do javascript uhg.Not to mention I still need to learn to do a shopping cart and make it all work,uhg it seems like its never gonna be done lol.But Thanks Again Nelle.
