HiWorks when using just images straight into the xml file but I'm trying to pull dynamically.
I have followed the tutorial and modified the xml file to have a .asp extension and looped the image tag part, see code below.
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<!--#include virtual="/Connections/connChameleon.asp" -->
<%
Dim rsPhotos__MMColParam
rsPhotos__MMColParam = "2"
If (Request("MM_EmptyValue"
<> "" Then rsPhotos__MMColParam = Request("MM_EmptyValue"
End If
%>
<%
Dim rsPhotos
Dim rsPhotos_cmd
Dim rsPhotos_numRows
Set rsPhotos_cmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command"
rsPhotos_cmd.ActiveConnection = MM_connChameleon_STRING
rsPhotos_cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM dbo.tblPhotoGallery WHERE CatID = ?"
rsPhotos_cmd.Prepared = true
rsPhotos_cmd.Parameters.Append rsPhotos_cmd.CreateParameter("param1", 5, 1, -1, rsPhotos__MMColParam) ' adDouble
Set rsPhotos = rsPhotos_cmd.Execute
rsPhotos_numRows = 0
%>
<%
Dim Repeat1__numRows
Dim Repeat1__index
Repeat1__numRows = -1
Repeat1__index = 0
rsPhotos_numRows = rsPhotos_numRows + Repeat1__numRows
%>
<imageflow
autoFlip="false"
flipInterval="3"
flipSpeed="1"
angle="35"
depth="250"
spaceMain="225"
spaceBack="60"
descColor="0x717171"
descSize="12"
hasReflection="true"
reflectionStrength="30"
reflectionSize="30"
reflectionBackground=""
imgWidth="300"
imgHeight="220"
startImage="">
<title color="0x717171" size="20">Deering Gallery</title>
<%
While ((Repeat1__numRows <> 0) AND (NOT rsPhotos.EOF))
%>
<image url="images/gallery/<%=(rsPhotos.Fields.Item("PhotoURL"
.Value)%>" target="_blank" width="640" height="480"><![CDATA[]]></image><%
Repeat1__index=Repeat1__index+1
Repeat1__numRows=Repeat1__numRows-1
rsPhotos.MoveNext()
Wend
%>
</imageflow>
<%
rsPhotos.Close()
Set rsPhotos = Nothing
%>
When I view the source for this page, all looks good I think. I have modified the link to this file within the flash area, see below.

But when I try to view the page, no images display and I get the text 'undefined' for both the title and description. (I did not put a title and description for the images)
Hope you can help George, many thanks, James

Hi James,
Well it looks good to me, maybe you can open the link to the asp file that generates the xml in IE to see if it says it is valid XML.
Also see what the real problem is the following might help:
1. Make sure you have Firefox (www.getfirefox.com) and also the Firebug debugger installed (www.getfirebug.com)
2. Open Firefox - make sure Firebug is enabled.
3. Open the page using 3D ImageFlow Gallery in Firefox
4. Open Firebug (either from the menu's or from the green icon in the right side of the status bar in Firefox)
5. Go to the tab "Net" to see all downloads - make sure that "All" is selected so you see all kind of files
6. Locate the call to xml file see - if it is all fine.
7. Click on it and then choose the "Response" tab, If any asp error occurred you should see it there as well
8. check if the list of files in the "Net" tab - there shouldn't be any red ones - indicating that files are missing.
Greetings,
George

It seems the actual source code of the asp page (the generated xml) is ok, and that because the flash file is pointing to an asp page, it doesnt ready the xml ????

Hi James
This is a note to everyone that has having problem with the 3D Flow Gallery:
if you are using asp make sure you open the connection within the same page (and dont use an INCLUDE FILE AS DREAMWEAVER BY DEFAULT DOES) in the xml file please see the example below.

Hi.
Had a look at all the samples on the site and tried everything. Even used Firebug to copy the generated XML (from the ASP) to a
blank XML file and set everything up to run from this file the and then it works. Somehow it does not want to read the generated XML from the ASP.
I only get the following in my browser when running from the ASP file: "undefined"
