I'm trying to get a custom background in a yowindow wiget on my blog at Blogspot. http://sunfishtravels.blogspot.com
In my own domain I have put the crossdomain.xml file in /
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cros ... policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" secure="true"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
In the same domain I have the .ywl and .swf files for the background, Kinderdijk. sunfishdesigns.com/yowindow/Kinderdijk/Kinderdijk.(whatever)
Here is the code from the widget:
<div style="width:180px; height:100px;">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://swf.yowindow.com/wimo/hpPal/hpPal.swf" width="180" height="100">
<param name="movie" value="http://swf.yowindow.com/wimo/hpPal/hpPal.swf"/>
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/>
<param name="wmode" value="opaque"/>
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"/>
<param name="flashvars" value="location_id=gn:2759794&location_name=Amsterdam&
landscape=http://sunfishdesigns.com/yowindow/Kind ... erdijk.ywl&
time_format=12&us=us&background=#FFFFFF&
mini_momentBar=true©right_bar=false"/>
<a href="http://yowindow.com/weatherwidget.php"
style="width:180px;height:100px;display: block;text-indent: -50000px;font-size: 0px;background:#DDF url(http://yowindow.com/img/logo.png) no-repeat scroll 50% 50%;"
>Free Weather Widget</a>
</object>
</div>
Here is the .ywl file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<landscape name="Kinderdijk" type="picture" id="DSF-Kindk">
<data src="Kinderdijk.swf" horizonLevel="750">
<about>The original photo by dreamsearcher</about>
</data>
</landscape>
BUT, it doesn't work. All I get is the sky, not my graphic. Anyone see an error here? Thnx.

Re: Can't customize blogspot widget background
Hello Sunfish,
Kinderdijk.ywl and Kinderdijk.swf must be in the same domain (server) as crossdomain.xml.
Example:
<param name="flashvars" value="location_id=gn:2759794&location_name=Amsterdam&landscape=http://sunfishtravels.blogspot.com/yowi ... erdijk.ywl&time_format=12&us=us&background=#FFFFFF&mini_momentBar=true©right_bar=false"/>

Re: Can't customize blogspot widget background
Hi Sunfish
The swf and the ywl are at http://home.comcast.net/~safeharborbay/ ... erdijk.swf
You have also place the crossdomain.xml at this server -> http://home.comcast.net/crossdomain.xml.

Re: Can't customize blogspot widget background
The crossdomain.xml is at http://home.comcast.net/~safeharborbay/crossdomain.xml. If it needs to be at http://home.comcast.net/crossdomain.xml then I need to find another server. They won't let me put it at home.comcast.net/The swf and the ywl are at http://home.comcast.net/~safeharborbay/ ... erdijk.swf
You have also place the crossdomain.xml at this server -> http://home.comcast.net/crossdomain.xml.
thnx
BTW I'll be in your country in Sept. biking from Amsterdam to Brugges.
Re: Can't customize blogspot widget background
Hi Geoff
Indeed you have to place crossdomain.xml in the root.
Why Kinderdijk ??
If you send me the files , i will hosted the landscape for you
The weather will be better the next week
Last week we have a lot of rainGood luck with biking in the Netherlands.

The Kinderdijk graphic was posted somewhere here. It has a windmill. Such a cliche!

Re: Can't customize blogspot widget background
Thanks Hermanz. That did the trick. But I must find another host because I'm going to want to create about a dozen of these in the next few months.
Looking forward to the bike trip. I know it's no big deal in your country, but here in the US trying to pry people from their cars is like stealing food from babies!

Re: Can't customize blogspot widget background
Hermanz,
I've found a host. But I have another question. If you look at http://sunfishtravels.bolgspot.com you'll see my weather widget. How can I resize the windmill graphic so that it better fits the column? It's 180x100 pixels. I've tried changing the aspect ratio of the original .png, converting it to .swf, but that doesn't change anything.

Re: Can't customize blogspot widget background
Hi Geoff,
your right URL is http://sunfishtravels.blogspot.com/ and not http://sunfishtravels.bolgspot.com
If you change the ratio of the uploaded foto nothing will change of course on the front end. You can change the dimensions only in the code:
