I love everyone!

That render of the living room is great mate, and yes concur with the MXI as the shade, though You will need to be clever to get the right fall off at the top and bottom!

The flash presentation is neat, though I have flash I'm not so experienced with it to understand all the jargon! I'll have to learn a bit more as I'm busting now to give that a shot! Is there anyway to upload a template or something for that! My dumb if that is a silly question!

I love the whole wide world :lol:

I am not sure what you mean with template. In the zip-archive all necessary files are included. It contains the SWF that will display the images. With the XML-file you specify the paths to your images, the names of your images and the button descriptions. For example:

XML
Code: Select all
<pic>
	<image>your_image.jpg</image>
	<btnName>The button description for this image</btnName>
</pic>
If you have lots of images it may be better to put your images in an extra folder, so the syntax will be:
Code: Select all
<pic>
	<image>your folder/your_image.jpg</image>
	<btnName>The button description for this image</btnName>
</pic>
HTML
If you want to change the size of the SWF (the viewer), open the HTML-file with a simple Text-Editor like NotePad and change the following lines:
Code: Select all
object, embed {
	position:absolute;
	left: 50%;
	top: 50%;
	width: 1000px;   <------- The width of your images
	height: 600px;   <------- The height of your images
	margin: -300px 0 0 -500px; /* Half size of height and width, so it is centered x and y */
	outline: none;
}
The margin values are necessary for centering the player in the browser window. Its values are top, right, bottom, left. If you just want to center it horizontally and vertically, alter the first and the last entry. The values should be half of the image size.

For changing the position of the drop-down-menu, just alter this line to your needs:
Code: Select all
<param name="FlashVars" value="navMenu=right"> <!-- Values: left, right or middle -->
Hope this helps. :D

Thank you so much mate! I hadn't downloaded your file before posting my reply! The explanation though is great and explained a lot! Played with it and it works great!

I'm having a problem embedding the multilight swf into a forum post like you did in yours.

using the swf feature I can embed the player and it shows up with a dark grey background, presumably that means it loaded fine, but the images never appear. When loading an html page off my website with the same player embedded all works fine. Can you elaborate how you embedded the swf for your post?

Thanks!

So, is this a known issue?
