rss feeds not working

[charles32fla]

Hey gang. Ok I got everything working in the rss new reader 1. I embedded the applet into an iframe and the reader seems to be working but, the news links are not coming up at all. Here is a the exact page of the reader that I am trying to get to work http://www.everyday-pchelp.com/iframe2.php Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong with the script, or reader.... I have checked the file permissions and everything is fine with that part.

Take these files out of the folder and put them in the same folder in which you want this applet to show up. That or I need more detail on what you doing to edit the path and which applet.

Do I take all files from deploy and source and place them in the default root of my public html along with the iframe that I am working with ?

Ok I got the rss working correctly. Now there is a problem with the size of the rss box. I have tryed to resize the box using the config.xml, but nothing works.. I have even messed with the code that you paste into the page to show the movie, but that doesn't seem to work at all either.... Here is the test link i Have so far. http://www2.everyday-pchelp.com/

Also, as you can see on this demo page I have there is a scroll bar at the bottum of the rss movie.. I have tryed to resize that also and doesn't seem to take once apply everything. Can someone please give me a hand on this issue :) Thanks in advance!

ive got the rss feed #3 and ive embedded it within a table on my page in dreamweaver... i have taken the contents out of both my source and deploy folder's and placed them within my root... and it still isnt working... within dreamweaver i have placed the swf file as the source file... when someone say's iframe-- what are they talking about ? ? ?

hi,

I don't think that this is a bug in the Flash RSS reader... there is no javascript at all in these readers.

Hi treyb: First off you don't need any of the source folder or contents of this folder on your website. This is just source code for editing the looks or code in flash. All you need is to take these files out of the deploy except the html file and place these in the root of your web or where ever this page is that you want to display this rss feed. It just makes it simpler to do it this way so you don't have to edit the paths in the swf file or edit the config.xml file. I will also state to copy and paste the <object> code from this html file that came with the rss feed and paste this into the file where you want it to show up on your page. That should do it. Makes sure you clear your browser cache in between changes so you don't pick up old values from old files.

klj let me see if i understand this correctly... i just take out the content's from my deploy folder and place them in my root folder...if i remember within the deploy i have the xml - dtd - index.html - rssreader03.html... from what your telling me, i do not place the index.html file in my root--right ? ? ? so i place the applet within my page -- right ? ? ? and i paste the html code from the index file where the applet has been placed right ? ? ? im not being ignorant- just trying to get it right--ive been spinning my wheel' s-- i took a break from this for a couple of day's and now im back....
*** also can you answer this question for me to ***
when i make the change's in the flash file and xml file .. .do i have to publish it to the deploy folder and also save the xml to the deploy folder as well for the change's to be reflected within the index.html file... wondering...
thanks

Reason why the rss readers are not working correctly when placed in a subfolder in the root dir is,: the file path for each of the dtd, and xml are not correct or the right folder name. You can recompile the swf from the source of the movie. To do so open up flash mx and change everysingle path that you find pertaining to the main swf, dtd, and config xml file to the folder paths that you wish. ((((Example)))) path="config.xml" Change th is to path="your folder name/config.xml" Now this is not what your going to find exactly but you can get the idea what to do or to change in the main file. GOod luck guys :)

It's much simpler to just change the two paths in the <object> code in the html file to point to the correct location of these files. Then you can copy and paste this <object></object> code into your page where you want it. Why recomplile the whole .fla file if you can just edit the path in the swf file. If you place these files in the folder or in your web root where you want this rss feed to show up then you wouldn't have to edit any paths. This seems to be the easiest way I have found to do this. Then I place the code from the html file in my file where I want it to show up at. As long as the file you want this to show up in is also where the rss feed files are all located then it should work.

I added the files to the root directory, changed the two paths to the above for the <object> tag, and did not change the xml file.

A blank white square appears for the reader and I was wondering if I had to use a different path, because the example path ended in .rss instead of the .php I am using above.

[amrock]

I did a path through feedburner that had a .rss extension and tried that, but it did not work. It was the same result just a blank white box.

http://feeds.feedburner.com/webrankingconsultants/seo.rss is the path that I used.
