Image Rotator won't show in Firefox

5 replies [Last post]

Hi, I'm using the JW image rotator version 3.17 and having some browser playback issues. It works fine in IE, Safari, and Google Chrome. But it hangs never loading the xml or images in Fire Fox and Opera browsers. I've tried several methods of inserting the codes and I always end up with the same results. Here is my code below.

<div  align="center" id="container"><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Get the Flash Player</a> to see this rotator.</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var s1 = new SWFObject("imagerotator.swf","rotator","796","193","7");
s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","false");
s1.addVariable("file","madrid.xml");
s1.addVariable("width","796");
s1.addVariable("height","193");
s1.addVariable("overstretch","true");
s1.addVariable("shownavigation","false");
s1.addVariable("displayclick","none");
s1.addVariable("autostart","true");
s1.addVariable("rotatetime","5");
s1.addVariable("shuffle","true");
s1.write("container");
</script>

Is there any way to get this to work in the other browsers? My FF preferences are set to view flash and had other users test, and as well get the same results. If needed.... the link to view it is at http://www.familyfishandgame.com/twinriversmedia/index.htm

Any help is appreciated thanks.

You are using the wrong directory separator symbol in the image URLs.

The directory separator symbol in URLs must always be the forward slash "/".

<location>rotatorimages<strong>/</strong>phesant.jpg</location>

Note that pheasant is also mis-spelled.

hahaha thanks ringo. Forgot to make that change while I did everything on the desktop. Yeah I knew phesant was mispelled. Just what the people sent me for images and I never bothered fixing the name.

Kind of funny though that it worked in other browsers. Guess they just automatically read or fix the slash by default. I try again tomorrow since it's all located on the server at work. Thanks again.

Oh yeah.. one other question.. is there a way to have no display click? I checked the paramaters and says it should work, I have it included in my code but it still displays the pointer when you hover over the player.

s1.addVariable("linkfromdisplay","false");

Thanks!! I must have been in the wrong vars section or something but it looks the same just that linkfromdisplay is there now rather than what I had.

the linkfromdisplay variable didn't work
