Hi,

I've a webserver with apache, php and mysql under Linux.
Can I use the Active Photo Viewer in this environment with images coming from
the MySQL database ?
(I donnot have any machine under MS Windows, and thus no access to MX)

Steven

Hi Steven,

Active Photo Viewer works fine with apache, PHP and MySQL under Linux.

Yes, you can use Active Photo Viewer in this environment with images coming from
the MySQL database.

The following source code demonstrates how the name of the images are get from MySQL database:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
&lt;object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="400" height="400" id="MyActive_Photo_Viewer" align="middle"&gt;
&lt;param name="flashvars" value="image=Images/&lt;?php echo <b>$row[1]</b>; ?&gt;&maxZoom=100&centerpoint=4&centerColor=0xFF0000&nav=true&navColor=0x33CC00" /&gt;
&lt;param name="movie" value="ActivePhotoViewer.swf" /&gt;
&lt;param name="quality" value="best" /&gt;
&lt;param name="scale" value="noscale" /&gt;
&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFCC00" /&gt;
&lt;embed src="ActivePhotoViewer.swf" id="MyActive_Photo_Viewer" quality="best" flashvars="image=Images/&lt;?php echo <b>$row[1]</b>; ?&gt; &maxZoom=100&centerpoint=4&centerColor=0xFF0000&nav=true&navColor=0x33CC00" scale="noscale" bgcolor="#FFCC00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="400" pluginspage="www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /&gt;
&lt;/object&gt;
</font id=code></pre id=code>
Where the variable $row[1] contains the name of the image.

Ok,

I bought a copy, but I get a .mxp file.
Your code snippet wants a .swf file.

How to do this ?

Hi Steve,

The xmp extension is the installation file of the extension itself. Just double click on it and follow the instructions through the installation wizard.

In addition we would like to refer you to the following FAQs:

As you can see from my first post in this topic, i work under linux.
No double click, no dreamwaver, ......
So, I need an .swf (and probably som parm files) seperate.

Thanks,
Steven

Active Photo Viewer is an extension that works under Dreamweaver. It is clearly stated on extension's website found here: www.dmxzone.com/ShowDetail.asp?NewsId=11090

So in order to work, this extension requires Dreamweaver.

(See second message in this topic).

After I wrote you what my environment is in the first message.
I told you that I donnot have access to dreamweaver.

You told me that I can use the component anyway.

The only thing you have to do is send me the unpacked files (I think).

If that is not possible, I would like to get my money back asap.

Hi Steven,

It seems there is some misunderstanding. Our site is dedicated on extensions working under Dreamweaver.

However, I have sent you the swf file of your Active Photo Viewer. Please, check your e-mail.

Hi,

I received the .swf file in good order.
I plugged it in a web page on my server,
no problems, but ....
I donnot see an image.
I just try'd it out with an .jpg image file.
I also tried an .png and a .gif.
The control works, but I see no image, just the yellow canvas
and the controls. It works, since it reacts correctly when i move th mouse
or use the rorate wheel.

Is there any other special thing to take care of ?
Here is the code I used (after your snippit) :
----------------------------------------------------
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;
&lt;title&gt;Visite virtuelle&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;meta name="GENERATOR" content="Quanta Plus"&gt;
&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset="&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;

&lt;object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="400" height="400" id="MyActive_Photo_Viewer" align="middle"&gt;
&lt;param name="flashvars" value="image=/srv/www/htdocs/revimmo_new/images/revimmo_m.jpg&maxZoom=100&centerpoint=4&centerColor=0xFF0000&nav=true&navColor=0x33CC00" /&gt;
&lt;param name="movie" value="ActivePhotoViewer.swf" /&gt;
&lt;param name="quality" value="best" /&gt;
&lt;param name="scale" value="noscale" /&gt;
&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFCC00" /&gt;
&lt;embed src="ActivePhotoViewer.swf" id="MyActive_Photo_Viewer" quality="best" flashvars="image=/srv/www/htdocs/revimmo_new/images/revimmo_m.jpg &maxZoom=100&centerpoint=4&centerColor=0xFF0000&nav=true&navColor=0x33CC00" scale="noscale" bgcolor="#FFCC00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="400" pluginspage="www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /&gt;
&lt;/object&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance,
Steven

Hi Steven,

There are two reasons for this issue to occur.

1. Make sure that the paths/values to the pictures are correct.

2. Make sure that the path/values to your ActivePhotoViewer.swf is correct.

Hi,

Works like a charm (i've put in the relative path of the images
and not the abolute).
Thanks a lot.

Is there any doc available about the different parms that i can
give the program (like f.i. centerpoint=4 ) What they mean and
what's possible ?

Great,

Thanks a lot for your help. <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Hi,

Well, center point parameter could change value from 0 to 4. You might want to change its value in order to find the one that best suits for you. It determines the center point of the image and where the user of the site wants to be.

Other parameter are self-explanatory.

Unfortunately, there is no additional documentation for the code itself. However, I could recommend you to read the FAQ section of the extension found here: www.dmxzone.com/index.asp?TypeId=7&CatId=860
