Custom Landscape Will Not Load In Widget

[Wally©]

My friends...

I am having troubles with my widget. It doesn't display the custom landscape (it works flawlessly on my desktop)...

I get the message "Landscape load error...you probably need to update the crossdomain.xml"..

The .xml file has been updated...

<?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>

I have uploaded the crossdomain file in the root directory of my webspace
The 'landscapes' directory with the appropriate subdirectory and .ywl + .png are also there
I changed the html file to point to the right file on my webspace...
This is how my html file reads...

<div style="width:750px; height:500px;">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://swf.yowindow.com/wimo/hpPal/hpPal.swf" width="750"

height="500">
<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:321580&location_name=Belek&landscape=http://users.telenet.be/wdragone/landsc ... 0x1050.ywl&time_form

at=24&us=metric&background=#FFFFFF&copyright_bar=false"
/>
<a href="http://yowindow.com?client=widget&link=stub"

50%;"
>Windows weather</a>
</object>
</div>
<div style="width: 750px; height: 15px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span

style="float:left;"><a target="_top" href="http://yowindow.com?client=widget&link=copyright" style="color: #2fa900; text-decoration:none;" title="Desktop

weather">YoWindow.com</a></span>
<span style="float:right; color:#888888;">Forecast by&nbsp;<a href="http://yr.no" style="color: #2fa900; text-

decoration:none;">yr.no</a></span>
</div>

Perhaps there is something wrong with the html code...
I've been working @ this for 2 days now...and getting pretty desperate...
If someone in here were able to help...it would be greatly appreciated...

You can see for yourself that the landscape won't load @ http://users.telenet.be/wdragone/Widget.Grida.html

Thanks...

As the crossdomain.xml is read by flash maybe 2 lines are missing in it according to the post from Pavel (the xml-type and doctype-definition).

Could you please try that and tell us if that helps?

[Wally©]

Thx...very much...

I update the crossdomain.xml file...

Now all I get is the actual weather data (warning has gone) and forcast...

No custom picture nor animation...it's just blank...

I fiddled around with the html file yesterday...

This is how it looks now...

<div style="width:750px; height:500px;">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://swf.yowindow.com/wimo/hpPal/hpPal.swf" width="750" height="500">
<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:321580&location_name=Belek&landscape=http://users.telenet.be/wdragone/landsc ... _bar=false"
/>
<a href="http://yowindow.com?client=widget&link=stub"

<div style="width: 750px; height: 15px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="float:left;"><a target="_top" href="http://yowindow.com?client=widget&link=copyright" style="color: #2fa900; text-decoration:none;" title="Desktop weather">YoWindow.com</a></span>
<span style="float:right; color:#888888;">Forecast by&nbsp;<a href="http://yr.no" style="color: #2fa900; text-decoration:none;">yr.no</a></span>
</div>

I am convinced it's the html code...

Again...thx for your reply...

Hi Wally,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your site appears to be on a shared domain which means you probably don't have access to the root directory where crossdomain.xml must go.

Maybe you can ask Herman if his offer to host landscapes is still good. --> http://yowindow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1331

[Wally©]

Thx Don...

I just sent Herman a pm requesting for his assistance in the matter...

I think there's also something wrong with the html code itself...

Any help, if possible, is welcome..

Thx...

Somehow an extra quote mark (highlighted in red above) made it into your code.
Here is the code Herman provided minus the extra quote.

A big thanks to Herman and Don...

It works flawlessly now...

I wish I had my own server so I could use much more landscapes...and locations...

Anybody know of a free or inexpensive hosting service with flexible crossdomain.xml hosting ?

[hermanz]

Hi Wally

no thanks

A cheap provider is http://hosting2go.nl .
1) 30 euro a year.
2) a own domain name
3) 2,5 Gb webspace
4) 30 Gb trafic per month
