PLease forgive me if I get this completely wrong but I need help with the following:

I have purchased a 3rd party customizable xml data graph that opens in flash. I have a folder with the following files in

xml files
shockwave flash object (i have put this into a flash box and it previews very well)

How do I get the data into the flash file (if that makes sense)

I am really struggling with this

Please help

geewizz

did you receive a .flr file as well ?¿

Normally if you upload all the files they should work together.

Hi David,

There is an FLA and an AS file.

Please firgive my ignorance, but do I need to upload the folder with all of the files into my public folder

Geewizz

yes...... did you not see/receive any installation info

None, sorry

try what i have outlined and come back if it does not work

Hi David,

Sorry im still at sea with this, do I need to upload all of the files via my control panel and then do what.

I have pasted an image on the site of what I was sent for clarity at
http://www.innovation-nation.co.uk/

Any help is most appreciated

Geewizz

upload the files using BV FTP or your file manager in Cpanel
then link to the swf file.

I am really in the dark here trying to guess how to install something that I havnt even seen.

I did not see your .flr file in those images that you posted on your site?¿

After uploading and linking, if it still dosn't work, email me the zip file and I will try to sort it out.

Hi David,

I have e-mailed you the files, hoe you can help

Regards

Take a look at this

that looks great

click on the v2.doc file where you will find your instructions.

To see the test as shown:
rename
g_data(test1).xml
to
g_data.xml

upload all the files to where ever you wish
say public_html
then in your browser enter
http://yourwebsitename/graph_xml_v2.swf

enjoy

thanks david,

Ive got it working.

I would just like to say a huge thank you for all of your help and patience, you are a star.

With kind regards

Geewizz

your welcome, and I actually learnt from the excercise so we are quits.
