Hello when I load up the custom landscape I only get a blue sky?
Code: Select all
<div style="width:400px; height:259px;">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://***/***/***/yowidget_standalone/yowidget.swf" width="400" height="259">
<param name="movie" value="http://***/***/***/yowidget_standalone/yowidget.swf"/>
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/>
<param name="wmode" value="opaque"/>
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"/>
<param name="flashvars"
value="location_id=gn:4259418&location_name=Indianapolis&landscape=GID&time_format=12&unit_system=us&background=#FFFFFF©right_bar=false"
/>

Hi,
Where you have landscape=GID, replace GID with the path to your .ywl file.
landscape=http://***/***/***/your_landscape.ywl

Thanks for your reply Don,
I tried that and the results remain the same.
Inside my GID folder is:
GID.ywl
GID.swf
GID.ywl :
Code: Select all
<landscape name="GID" type="plugin" id="com.yowindow.GID">
<data src="GID.swf">
</data>
</landscape>
Any other thoughts?

The contents of your .ywl file should be formatted like this:
Code: Select all
<landscape id="picturename_0000000000" type="picture" name="picturename">
<data src="picturename.swf" horizonLevel="000"/>
</landscape>
Notice that the type is "picture" and that you are missing the horizonLevel. The .ywl file is generated by yoWindow when you create a custom landscape. The only thing you need to change when you use your custom landscape with the widget for a website is <data src="picturename.png" horizonLevel="000"/> to <data src="picturename.swf" horizonLevel="000"/> to match the picture you converted to the .swf format. Please see these FAQs for more details.

http://yowindow.com/widget_and_landscape. Of course the part about the crossdomain.xml file in the second FAQ does not apply to the standalone widget.
