[Pro] SimpleViewer Issues

Freeway
1

I am fairly new to website building so please bear with me. I am very pleased with what I’ve been able to do with Freeway so far, but I have run into problems using it with third party apps.

I’ve been using a trial version of SimpleViewer to see if I should buy it. I like what it does but I’ve been having problems getting it to load in Freeway (5.6.4). I followed the instructions ( 8 times) on the SoftPress website (http://www.softpress.com/kb/questions/229/Using+a+SimpleViewer+slideshow+in+Freeway) about embedding the viewer but I can’t seem to get it to load the gallery. I get a “Gallery XML Not Found” message on my preview and browser pages.

I am using the svBuilder app instead of the Photoshop Template because PS flattened the png files before saving them, eliminating the transparency and I haven’t been able to modify that with my limited knowledge of actionscripts (I gave it a shot but to no avail). The apparent difference between the PS template files and the svBuilder files is that the swf file is in a folder named “svcore” which also contains javascript and CSS files. I’ve tried a number of different configurations with the files and folders but have had no luck. I can open the swf with Flash Player and it works perfectly but not in Freeway.

I really like Simpleviewer and I think it fits my expanding needs better than Showcase, which I have been using. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (note: I’ve also tried the SlideShow Pro Flash extension but abandoned that pretty quickly). Thanks.

I have used it in the past - the Embed method which gives you code to embed in your web page. http://deltadesign.co/sv/index.html

<!--START SIMPLEVIEWER EMBED.-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="svcore/js/simpleviewer.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
simpleviewer.ready(function () {
simpleviewer.load("sv-container", "100%", "100%", "222222", true);
});
</script>
<div id="sv-container"></div>
<!-- END SIMPLEVIEWER EMBED -->

Which you paste into an Insert Markup item and resize, position on your FW page.

Then upload the SV created files so that they are alongside your FW page (index.html in this example). Note that some of these files are FW created.

And that is it.

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar and a lifesaver. And a Glaswegian as well–Scotland is my favorite country, bar none. I’ll break out a bottle of Edradour Single Malt tonight and drink to your health.

You solved my problem and within 20 minutes of my post–astounding. The graphic you included helped a lot–that’s something that really helps us visual types understand.

Again, thanks.
