Config Files

Hellogoogoo Apps are quickly configured using a text document located with your .swf file.

    • myimages.txt

    1. Prepare the JPEG images by sizing them to roughly 432x288 or less and place in a folder on your server.

    2. Read contents of directory and display all images.
    myimagefolder/;
    backgroundColor=000000; (6 digit HTML color code)
    borderColor=FFFFFF; (6 digit HTML color code)

    3. Or control which images are in the slideshow .
    myimagefolder/;
    backgroundColor=000000; (6 digit HTML color code)
    borderColor=FFFFFF; (6 digit HTML color code)
    cathat.jpg;
    mars.jpg;
    bluejeans.jpg;

    • mysongs.txt

    1. Add your MP3s to a folder on your server.

    2. Read contents of directory and play all MP3s .
    myMP3folder/;
    showDisplay=yes; (show the top display initially)
    showPlaylist=yes; (show the bottom display initially)
    autostart=no; (start playing the first song automatically)

    3. Or control which MP3s are in the jukebox and their title.
    myMP3folder/;
    showDisplay=yes;

    Title I want displayed in the Jukebox;

    • Things to check
    1.) Check System Specifications

    -All php should work with all versions up to php 5. If you have earlier than php 4 then you may need to upgrade your php version. - All flash is written in flash 8 Actionscript 2.0 and should work for flash MX but may not work with earlier flash versions or newer version of Actionscript. - Flash player 8 minimun required to view.

    2.) Check file permissions

    - This is common when uploading files to your server. Most server configurations set a default permission set to each file. While the Hellogoogoo apps should work with this default security sometimes it may be necessary to change the file permissions. File permissions can be changed usually by your ftp program, or by right-clicking on the file and selecting properties, or by using CHMOD function of some serverside language such as php. Directories should be 0777 and Text files should be 0666.

    directories/ -CHMOD 777
    myconfigfiles.txt -CHMOD 666

    3.) Check Configuration file Most Hellogoogoo apps come with a text file that contains important configuration information. If there is an error in your text file then it may cause the app not to work correctly. Please check the example text file that came with your purchase or the readme file.

    4.) There's an unknown border around the flash app.

    This is a browser issue. Sometimes flash does not work right in certain <div> tags. If you can remove the <div> that the flash is in then that should work. Otherwise, you may need to find a CSS or Javascript fix for your specific code on your webpage. Lastly, you can try to use the following object code which uses wmode=transparent parameter. You can also add bgcolor="#ffffff" in the embed src to change the stage background of the flash movie.

    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="270" height="300" id="jukebox" align="middle">
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
    <param name="movie" value="jukebox.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
    <embed src="jukebox.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="270" height="300" name="jukebox" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
    </object>
