WeatherFlash Screen Size
« on: May 19, 2011, 08:57:02 AM »
Can anyone tell me how to reduce change the screen size for WeatherFlash? 
When I open it from my fly-out menu it opens in full screen size and to get back to my home page I must use my browsers back button.

Thanks,

Joe

The folks at Meteorologica tell me that I need to make changes in the HTML code for Flash Player.... so now I'm trying to find out where that file is.

You should have been able to embed your flash page into the template pages just like you can with WDL.

I thought Ken's scripts would do that for me... I have deleted and reinstalled EVERYTHING and I'm still having issues with my data updating and WeatherFlash is still doing the same thing. ](*,) ](*,)

After a few hours of good sleep I found out why my scripts were not updating.... I had ".htx" were ".php" should have been in my VWStag setup.

If anyone can tell me how to embed WeatherFlash into Ken's scripts I sure would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Joe

Joe,

Try this.  Ken did some work on this for another member.  Rename the attached file to .php and fix the location for your Loader on this line

var so = new SWFObject("../weather/Loader.swf?bgcolor=#3095c7", "../weather/Loader.swf", 750, 565, "8", "#3095c7");

The 750 , 565 is the size of the window for WF.

That should fix it.

Jay,

Thank you very much.  I tried to open edit the "Loader.swf" file that is part of WeatherFlash and could not. Am I looking in the wrong place to make the change?

Joe,

Edit that line in the file that I attached.  It only points to where Loader.swf is on the server.

Jay,
That's what I thought... did not work. "Loader" is in the root directory of my site. Here is my code.

</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("joesweather.info/WxFlash/Loader.swf?bgcolor=#3095c7", "joesweather.info/WxFlash/Loader.swf", 750, 565, "8", "#3095c7");

Jay,
"Loader" is in the "WxFlash" folder of my site not the root. Sorry for that.

Joe,

Try this.

var so = new SWFObject("../WxFlash/Loader.swf?bgcolor=#3095c7", "../WxFlash/Loader.swf", 750, 565, "8", "#3095c7");

The two dots tell the location to start at root then the / says go to this folder.

Jay,
I had tried that and it did not correct it.... tried it again. Still not working. I must have something in another file that is overriding it. Any thoughts?

Jay,
I tried doing this and it looks like it is working

www.joesweather.info/WxFlash/Loader.swf


Which tells me my thoughts on another file being messed up is on target. I hope this helps.

Joe,

Did you use the file I attached in my first post?  You should rename that file to .php and upload it to your server after making the change on the line mentioned.  Once you do that you should be able to go to

http://www.joesweather.info/wxweatherflash.php

and it should be there in the template set.

Jay,

Everything is working perfectly.... now that I corrected a fat finger error in my file naming.

I want to say "THANK YOU".... you're help is more than appreciated and your patience with a newbie is just as good!

Now I can make a few more adjustments to the look of my site and go live in a day or so.  This truly is a very rewarding experience in learning.
 
On another note... I noticed in one of your posts that you had run into a problem with your table saw and that caught my eye as I am a woodworker and woodturner. I hope it was not an injury, just a saw issue.

Take care,
Joe

Joe,

It was an injury.  Had to have surgery to repair my thumb.  Probably will lose a quarter to a half inch length of the thumb but it looks like I will still be able to grip.  Not a fun thing.

Sorry to hear that..... knock on wood, I have been using power tools for over 45 years and so far I have kept safe.
