ive followed ur instruction on how to use your Joomla Random Flash Module but it its not working. can u send me the whole step by step process on how to do it.

thanks.

Leo:

Step 1. Rename your flash files to 1.swf, 2.swf, 3.swf etc. It is very important to rename them to just a number.swf and order is after each other i.e. 1,2,3,4

Step 2. Upload your flash files to images/stories or any other path that you choose. You can do this using Joomla Media Manager or using FTP or anything else. Take note of the path example images/stories

Step 3. In the module parameters enter the following options:

Number of files - this is the number of flash files you have uploaded e.g. 4
Flash Base - the path where you have put the files (e.g. images/stories)

Width / Height - define the width and height of the files. The original files should be the same size, so that you don't have problems when displaying the module.

Choose to publish the module and save.

I have received a number of emails regarding people who have used it successfully. Usually any problem that might happen is with the path. To debug check your page source and ensure that the p...

Can this flash do at header template?coz i try already but cant get it.

Easy to use! Works great. Tnx to the people of Dart Creations.
An example of the module on my gamesite: zzz.arturius.nl

Is the issue with "click to activate" solved? Known as the EOLAS problem...

TIA!

Not with the current version.

thake you for your module

it is working right away very nicely.

is it possible that when i click on my flash it will open a new window and shows the flash in big size as flash does.

could not find a way to make a linke in the module

regards gabriel

The module is really cool, forks better than others I have found.

thank's for sharing I will try it.

hi,

i really love the module. really nice and fits with my site.

what i need to know is how to put an alternative image (.jpg) so people with no flash plug-in in their computer won't see blank space? also can you add a script to detect flash plug-in?

i'm a newbie and don't know much about programming.

thx a lot

thanks for cool module. Can we using Random Flash together with Joomla banner module in the same position. Is not working with me on
Joomla 1.0.12 here. thanks dan

I don't see why there should be a problem Dan. Send an email with further details via the contact us page if you want further investigation.

Soy Argentina, no se ingles intentare comunicarme.

I need insert link or image flash, help.

Tanks

Luciana

It works when I select other module positions (Banner, Newsflash) but when header is selected, nothing. Is there something special I need to do to get it to work in the header position? I am using joomla version 1.0.12. Thanks in advanced..

Mark, this is not a problem with the module, but a problem with the template. Your template probably does not have the header position defined, and thus the module won't display there. Please read the following article to understand what I am saying:
nolinkspls://zzz.dart-creations.com/joomla/ tutorials/understanding-joomla-template- positions.html

I need to insert a Link in this module, does not matter in which image but in this module.

Thanks for its answer

Hi ,

How can I make the link open in the same window? Now the link opens in a new window. I have found 2 files:

1) mod_randomflash.php
2) mod_randomflash.xml

Where exactly do I adjust the target?
Please, see our flashbanner on zzz.baj.nu

Thanks,
Koos (Holland).

Koos, please note that the module DOES NOT support linking, therefore your link is not coming from our component but from the flash banner that you have. Please get in touch with the person who has created the flash banner for you and instruct them that you do not want the link to open in a new window.

Hope this helps, if not please send us an email using the Contact Us page.

Excellent script! Question though, my flash is positinoned to the right of a menu that has sub category menus. The problem is when the flash is shown, the sub cat menus show behind the flash as seen here: nolinkspls://208.109.191.81//index.php

this may not have anything to do with you per say but I was wondering if you know a solution for this??

Figured it out! Thanks for the excellent script

It's a nice job.But,could you make it show more than one swf-files at a time?
This should be very great.
Thanks

Why don't your create a new template position where you require the second flash, and then use a second copy of the module to display additional flash files where you require.

hi i'm install the module and do exactly the steps u provide but ehrn seen my site my flash dosen't appear where is the problem??i'm using joomal 1.5

How to make link in image flash(ex:1.swf) because this modul does not parameter Linking?

Thanks for this great mod.... i use it with great envy from others... the only problme i get is when i am outside of the main page i no swf's show it is just a blank screen.

Again thanks

The module has still not been converted to 1.5, however if you could get in touch via the Contact form, i would take a look and see what might be happening.

I installed it and it ran great with a 468x60. decided I needed a rectangle so I changed it to 300x250, made 2 300x250 swf's 11.swf and 12.swf, created a new folder: images/stories/flash,uploaded the files, put this path in the module,
set # to 2, set mod name to show. I see the shape of the module has changed, the name but no images. I checked the path and the images show up. My site is nolinkspls://localroost.com.
WHAT AM I MISSING?

lowjoy, you just need to rename the swf to 1.swf and 2.swf, rather than 11.swf and 12.swf, because the module is look for 1.swf and 2.swf.

Hey, the modul works great in firefox, it shows on all pages with no problem,
BUT if i use INTERNET EXPLORER it works on the main page, but it doesn` work on any other page, the moive doesn`t load.
I˙m using only 1 file - 1.swf!

thanks
stas

zzz.smatros-print.com

stass,

I've takea look but can't figure out what's wrong. Everything seems ok.

Can you try creating another flash file and see if it works with more than 1 file?

i have tried with two files..that are unique...1.swf and 2.swf and i have set the module to 2 files...it`s still the same...

have tried Opera also...it works perfect..the only problem is IE!

Could it be the swf file Itself the problem?

I would think that if the problem was the file, it wouldn't work on the frontpage either though.

Are there any modules / components which are different on the frontpage than the pages where the banner is not displayed. They may be interfering ...

no... all modules and components are on all pages turned on except on NAŠE ZNAMKE, but there is no module anyway...

but i noticed something now.. i have sublevel items on NAVODILA and on PONUDBA but not on POGOJI POSLOVANJA, and there the flash modul works in IE!

so what do sublevel menu items have to do with this?

or is it the JOOMSEF? i had to turn off all Itemid setting for sublevel menu to work, but IE had problems even before that...

any idea?
thanks

Well, then there must be something in the other (non sub level pages) which is different. Best is to compare the pages (HTML generated), between the areas where it works, and the areas where it doesn't.

Switching off JoomSEF temporarily might also help you to determine whether it is the one causing the problem.

I have turned off JoomSEF and ther is no change,
i have looked at the html code from the page that works and the one that doesn`t but the part where the flash is generated is the same...

hey, natasha, could you tell me what benefit could i have from websites you provided?

i dont see any usefull information

Very nice module but just one thing : just a problem with menus in CSS wich appears behind flash animations.
I try to modify module by adding a "" but it doesn't (I think I would have to add a "position:absolute" in css file but it will looks bad with my template...)
Is there any solution for that ?

To resolve probelm with flash and menu css, you just have to add :
-
- in "object", wmode="transparent"
- in "embed", wmode="transparent"

The module is working well, but I need to know how can I get a transparent background?

thanks

Thanks for the module... but I have a little question, is that possible to make the code not for a module instead for a content inside a page frame?

Angela,

I was thinking of developing a number of the modules as plugins too to enable what you have in mind. In the meantime you can use the following article to do what you want to do.

Hello

A just install the mdule and i have the problem, fiale are named ok, 1, 2, etc., rest in module configuration the same, but when i activate on site i just see a blank screen. Maybe you no what I do wrong?

for the life of me I cant get this to install, I have tried both via upload, and manually by ftp. any help?

You shouldn't need anything fancy! Using the normal Joomla installer Extensions > Install should do it. If you can't get this to work, you probably have something wrong with your Joomla installation.

I just did a clean install of joomla 1.5 and get the same thing, Error! Could not find an XML setup file in the package.
any thoughts appreciated

ok...think I got it....the compressed files are not so Safari/Mac friendly, I used Firefox and just saved the zip, it installs. thx!

onde faço o Download?

nao encontrei o link..

Hey please help me i wnt to upload pictures on my Joomla Site but am failing though i don't know how.
i can be more than happy is you respond to me using my email: tomphiripenyani@yahoo.com
thank you so much

Hi,

Since the size is hardcoded it looks bad if the resolution is changed, is there a solution for it?

thanks

Please can you tell me where on your site to download this, flash random module, I have registered, and tried login but I cannot find the tab to download!

Please let me know.

Top menu on the left. There is a Downloads tab.

Hi There, great module!, I just want to know if there's a way to avoid repetition of a file before completing a full rotation of all files in the directory.

There is no such intelligence built in at the moment. Though if you want, add it to the Feature Requests, and we could try to work on it some time.

Hi There!, Thanks for your previous answer... now I have another one.
Modules content is not loading on other pages than the front page when SEO friendly Urls is activated but it shows ok everywhere when it's not activated, I guess the problem is with the paths to the altered (seo friendly) page names but I'm just guessing, I'm working on it, but maybe you have the solution in the pocket.
Thanks a lot for your attention

David,

since the module does not modify / generate any links whatsoever, the problem you are having probably stems from something else. Are you using sh404SEF? If you aren't I suggest you use that one.

I am polakiem, I have 46 years, I know English language thinly, I have hope,that you will understand alone I do side and this module at me acts well prubowałem with file flash - swf and module advised me with him as yet I on side prepared demonstration jpg altered in signature on 1. swf.I greet.

I can't get the module to download!!!

Seana, you need to register via the Login Form (on the right) and then you'll be able to download from the Downloads section.

Hi, installed the module and published it to the banner position - works great in firefox.

zzz.test.eyrys.com

For somereason it's coming up at half the height in ie7 -is there somethign i have to add to the ie7 stylesheet or suchlike?

Does this happen with the flash only or does it happen with other images etc too?

Seems to be doing it with images too -which makes me think it's something to do with the banner position rather than the module? (We moved the coords of the position)

Just to follow up -thats what the problem was - the coords for the module position were messed up. Sorry to waste your time -BTW - the module .. well - it rocks!

Great to know its sorted. Glad you like the module, I'd appreciate a vote or a small review

please show me how to install this module...

i've try to install it but they said
"ERROR: Could not find a Joomla! XML setup file in the package."

how can i fixed it?

"object", wmode="transparent"
"embed", wmode="transparent"
not finding the proper place to put the object or embed in the xml to make the flash transparent.
other then that mod installed easy and does exacty what it is suppose to do. (5 stars)

Sam,

you'll just need to add wmode="transparent" to both the object and the param tags in the php file, so that the HTML generated contains that code. This should sort your problem!

works like a top ..thank u for the fast reply.

Hi, for some reason the module only works on my frontpage on IE, it does great in Firefox and Opera, but with IE it just loads on my frontpage and in the rest of the site i get a blank space. When I right-click on this blank space i get "MOvie Not Loaded" and "About Adobe Flash Player 10..." messages....any suggestions?

Can you post a URL in the forums?

please could you take a look at my flash object its just a white page
My site needs help on the whole on the whole
advice would be appreciated

I've taken a look at your page and the flash files seems to be missing? You need to rename the files to 1.swf, 2.swf, 3.swf, 4.swf etc for it to work correctly.

Great module. Easy to setup and use.

Would like to know if there is a way to setup a parameter so that the flash video plays just once and stops. In my application of the module, I have one swf at the moment.

Thx

Hi gspeyrer,

typically this is something which is controlled when you are developing your flash file. However, you can try adding the loop=false parameter in the embed code as per the following instructions.

nolinkspls://forums.techguy.org/web-design- development/480452-flash-loop-play-once-only.html

You'd need to edit the php of the module to do this.

Hi ... I would like to use your random flash module cause it's easy to handle. I have installed it and am working in the localhost-mode right now. But unfortunately, the flash files can not be seen in IE. Using Firefox everything looks great.
Any help will be appreciated.

HI , all is anybody tell me name of site which can gives me a short demo of joomla coading wid explation ,i mean a module bcoz by the CMS i m comfortable but wid coad i got stuck some places

Hello,

Been reading through the above posts. I have the same problem as many other people. The flash only loads on the front page.

I disabled sef (sh404SEF) and it works on all pages. However I MUST use sh404SEF.

Do you know how to fix this.

Thanks in advance

Typically SEF might be creating an incorrect path to the flash files. Check about the path which is created, and update it accordingly in the module's parameters.

Hello,

hope this works for everyone else, as it has for me...

you need to put a / at the beginning of the path, i.e.

/images/stories/

cheers
dave

Great to know

Firefox no load flash files. IE, Opera, Safari and Chrome yes. The module is good, by can updated this error. Thank.

I am not getting my flash to load in Firefox, but other web browsers seem to be working just fine... any suggestions?

I've tested on Chrome and it looks ok. I've take a look at the source too, and it seems to be fine ... Try with / without the slashes infront.

Flash loads fine in IE but not at all in FF3 nolinkspls://curbside.winsperwebdev.com/
Any ideas?

Try putting a slash / in the front of your flash location. This is usually the problem.

Actually it seems to be a problem with the AC_RunActiveContent.js requirement. I added the inline javascript to the module and the flash runs. However, this nukes the randomizer due to these java params:
'src', '3',
'id', '."3',
'name', '3',

Is there a work around in Flash to eliminate the AC_RunActiveContent.js requirement or a way to put the value '$flashbase/$top.swf' in the javascript?

Did we work out the problem for the flash not showing in FF3 but working in every other browser. eg: "/" does not make it work, and adding the " AC_run.js" does not either any ideas... cheers

No I added the "/" and that didn't do it. The issue is definitely with the AC_RunActiveContent inline script. Any thoughts?

Same problem, FF does not play the files. All other browsers do....

Same problem, FF does not play the files. All other browsers do....

I've read through the stuff above and would like to use your module. What I have set up works correctly in IE and Safari but not FireFox. I see several have posted about this before but I don't see a solution.

All the best

The problem is typically extra slashes before or after the images path parameter in the module. Experiment with various options. Preferably no slashes are placed neither before nor after i.e. images/flash

I also have the compatiliby problem with FF3. I tried with and without "/". It doesn't work.

Hey all, please download the latest version of Joomla Random Flash, it has been updated to work correctly with FireFox!

Thanks! Compared to other help/mods out there, this was the easiest and least confusing to use - AND - it works!!

Hello

I am very new to Joomla 1.5 and would appreciate your patience with me.

I have 2 questions:
1. I need to put a flash on my frontpage highlighting viewers to go to my Open Handed Page. Please send me a very simple step by step instruction.
2. I need to add more text to my title on the front page. How do I do this?
many thanks

Good module... i was searching one like that for a long while

do I need to uninstall my current flash module in order to use this one

No you shouldn't need to uninstall any existing modules

Just a couple of quick questions. Is there a way to control the position of the flash file? I want it to sit in the centre of the module but having no joy. Also how to you set it to loop the movie?

Center: try adding div with align=center, for lopping, add parameters for looping. Both should be quite simple customisations.

Can you give me an idea of where I would put that code? If you take a look at my sitre you will see what I mean, zzz.wessexwyverns.org.uk

Amazing module! thank you veru much!! Could you please tell me if it is possible instead of randomization make the static sequence? like i put 2 banners and it changes every time i refresh ne page. For now because of the randomization it may show same banner in 4-5 refreshes...

I was thinking of developing a number of the modules as plugins too to enable what you have in mind. In the meantime you can use the following article to do what you want to do.

Hello! is a great module and very simple.
but I need the loop of...
is it possible to stop the movie after 1 play, I mean, without the continuos loop

Thank you so much

easy to configure. Easy to use! Great!

Excellent script can we add mootools to this so that the flash files change automatically this will be helpful for gaming portals like Y8

Warning: shuffle() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /joomla/modules/mod_j15randomflash/ mod_j15randomflash.php on line 39

Any body know how i cant fix it.

Parameters
Module Parameters
Flash Base

This is what I have in parameters module after I installed...

Thanks, no use to reply... found the solution.. it was because of the Path

If anyone is interested this is how I did and it works. The default path is images/stories
I created a folder called flash inside the stories and in Flash Base add flash after stories. Your path should look like this: images/stories/flash

Thanks!

i could't find any parameter in module ? where are parameters ?

Am not able to download joomla random flash module for joomla 1.5.
Can you please help me.

Download from the "Downloads" menu after you have registered and logged in please.

Hi there,

I've installed the Joomla Random Flash Pro module, but I can't see the module parameters?

See: nolinkspls://create-n-communicate.nl/ RandomFlashPro_backend.png

You must have downloaded a wrong version, contact us through the menu links and we'll send you the correct version.

I've installed the Joomla Random Flash Pro module, but I can't see
the module parameters?

Make sure you have downloaded the correct version for your Joomla. If you download the 1.5 version and install it on 2.5 or vice versa, the parameters won't show up.
