My Custom Landscape won't show just blue sky

[dambur3]

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&copyright_bar=false"
    />
        <a href="http://WeatherScreenSaver.com?client=widget&link=copyright"
        style="width:400px;height:259px;display: block;text-indent: -50000px;font-size: 0px;background:#DDF url(http://yowindow.com/img/logo.png) no-repeat scroll 50% 50%;"

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?

[Don]

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/live_sky_picture.php - 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.
