[sabelian]

attached as txt file. :) thx for your help!

[Flep]

The thumb node wants an absolute url, like:

<thumb>http://www.sitename.com/thumbs/thumb_0.jpg</thumb>

[sabelian]

Thank you SOOOO much :) your a genius! And thanks again for all the free stuff, you're amazing!

[Ramjet]

Hi. Where can I change the background color for this utility? Also, if I do not want to include images but just the text, what do I need to change?


Thankyou

[Flep]

Hi,

- background: just open main.fla and change the colors of the shape I use as background.

- You can make a little trick, use transparent images.

Dear Flep,
I am having the same problem as Sabelian. I wasn't able to open it on my desktop either. Suggestions. I am kinda a new at this but I will keep playing with it. If you can push me along it would help a great deal. I did insert it into my webpage along with the xml. I also change the thumb node but no luck (as advised for Sabelian). Juse seeing "loading images". Help Please.
