Flashblocks Flash CMS Component
(Flash Content Management System)

I've been struggling with the folowing for awhile now.

I copied the "smooth scroller 2" clips for 'news2' from the flash demo file including the associated actionscript;-
(ScrollerListNews.linkContent = "listMod"
scrollerFull.linkContent = "listModFull")

I also included the "_PRELOAD Fonts & Linked Library Items"folder, Module List News folder,'Module List News,Store,Blog' folder, Module Smooth Scroller and Module Smooth Scroller2 folders into my library (All just in case) but I can't see anything on my webpage. It appears empty. When I try to edit it the pop indicates that it's looking for 'fb0' as the flashblocks instance name.

But I have already renamed my flashblock instance name and ID as'specials' instead of 'fb0.'
How do I get the smooth scroller 2 clip's editblock to have a flashblock ID called 'specials.'

PROBLEM2
I've searched the entire forum for an answer to my 2nd issue.

After editing and saving when I Logout from Flashblocks on all my pages I find myself still in Edit Mode.

Use to the following to login;

USER:fbadmin, PASSWORD:****

Just edit "List module link" and change the Editblock's flashblockID to special.

Not sure why logout is not working. Try placing the code on the same frame as your flashblocks component and lets see if logout is being called at all - trace LOGOUT happens.

Code: :

flashblocks.Flashblocks.Logout = function () {    trace("LOGOUT")    _level0.getURL("javascript:location.reload();"); }

I've just edited "List module link" and changed the Editblock's flashblockID to "specials." but it didn't work.

I've also placed the code you gave me on the same frame as my flashblocks component, but that's not working either.

I've submitted the flash document for your viewing. Will be awaiting your reply.

I am sorry but I having difficulty debugging without the shared library. Could you upload or email it to me?

I've just uploaded it using submit a document.

I think it has something to do with the shared library. But the solution in this case is to open "list module" and change line 64 from:

Code: :

xmlObj = Flashblocks.XmlToObj()

to:

Code: :

xmlObj = flashblocks.Flashblocks.XmlToObj()

Regarding logout not working, for some reason it works fine while testing. In any case you can just refresh the browser instead of Logging out.

Thanks very much.

It's working now. However the logout issue is very important for my clients so that they know that they've logged out. Some of them will be probably too lazy to refresh the pages as often as a remedy.

Furthermore I'd like to know what you think about the way I've set up the shared livbrary in relationship to the Flashblocks, Editblock and Mediablock components in the library palette. I intend to develop all my sites using a shared library.

Logging out works fine from here after compiling your flas so I am a unsure why it is not working for you. You could try placing the Flashblocks components directly into your "specials.fla" (and not from the shared library) to see if that fixes the logout issue.

Yes, your shared library seems set up correctly and functioning well. Sharing embedded fonts saves lots of bandwidth as well. I have a working example here: http://flashblocks.com/component/opti...an/task,doc_download/gid,3/Itemid,68/

Could you please send me your version of the pg_specials.fla file I sent you. The smooth scroller 2 is not showing the images in the XML file.

I will send it over.

It's being sent.

I'm sorry but it's not giving the right results.See
