YoWindow Forum

Hello all,

Firstly I would like to say thank you for making such a great widget.

i have uploaded the whole landscapes folder to the root of the site as well as the cross domain xml.

My issue: I am only seeing the sky whenever my widget is loaded.

My code:

(crossdomain)
<?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>
(end of cross domain)

(ywl file code)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<landscape name="hotel66" type="picture" id="hotel66_1321630DE65">
<data horizonLevel="277" src="yo_croppedhotel66.swf">
</data>
</landscape>
(end of ywl code)


I can load the colosseum just fine. but as soon as i put the following code in, it just goes to a blank sky.

(main code)
<div style="width: 220px; height: 150px;">
<object width="220" height="150" data="http://swf.yowindow.com/wimo/hpPal/hpPal.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param name="picture" allowfullscreen="true" value="http://swf.yowindow.com/wimo/hpPal/hpPal.swf;
<param name=">
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
<param name="flashvars" value="location_id=gn:5492450&location_name=LDC&landscape=http://r66sharepoint02/landscapes/hotel ... _bar=false">

</object>
</div>
<div style="width: 220px; height: 15px; font-size: 14px; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">

(end of main code)

heeelp?

Hi ??? (any name?)
the best way to support, is to get us the URL of the website, so we can see the original HTML code and which kind of website it is.

Here is the -well working- code of my website and you have to change your specific code parts only:

<div style="width: 600px; text-align: left">
<object width="600" height="450" data="http://swf.yowindow.com/wimo/hpPal/hpPal.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true">
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#edf1f8">
<param name="flashvars" value="location_id=2510799&landscape=http://wetter.toernover.com/arta_son_sa ... nd=#edf1f8">
<param name="src" value="http://swf.yowindow.com/wimo/hpPal/hpPal.swf">
</object>
</div>

I'm a little bit wondering about your horizont level of 277 px ... it seems very low, but I didn't know your landscape.
Werner

thanks for the reply Werner! It is an internal sharepoint 2010. no public domain. It has its own windows server 2008. I have added .ywl to the mime header types. I can change my horizontal level. what would be a good height? and my name is eric.

Hi Eric!

what i can see in your code from above is: between the first "<param name="picture...." and the second "<param name="wmode...." there is a malformed code-fragment "<param name=">".

Please correct this (see my "edit:" below), then try again and tell us if that has helped

Edit: Just have a look at Werners code then you will see the error what i mean - substitute the first 2 parameters of your code by the first 2 parameters of Werners code ("allowfullscreen" and "wmode"):

I am still only seeing the sky and no cropped image of the front of my work... My morning mindbender.

i give up.

*edit* not giving up! using werner's code, I am able to go to full screen where it says "landscape load error. dear webmaster, probably you need to update crossdomain.xml"... but that makes me confused because i can load the coliseum... and now im really confused.

*2nd edit* I may have figured this one out. I think that i need to host the landscape folder on a public domain...

Hi Eric,
we never give up
When colloseum is running well, so other landscapes will do the same and then also the crossdomain is placed in the right root directory.
I'm afraid that with the path to your .ywl is somthing wrong or the .ywl themselve.
Can you send please the complete landscape folder (incl. all the items) as a zip, so I can test it on my site.
Werner

here is the zipped landscapes folder that i put at the root of the site and linked to.

your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Eric,
everything is ok with your .ywl
Please go to my weathersite http://www.wetter.toernover.com > Links > Testseite and you will see your landscape
I used my code and changed only your .ywl ... you have to upload only this 2 files in the directory ... thats all ...
Werner

i'm thinking that this means that i really need to host the ywl and swf on a public domain.
