Spry XML Dataset Video Gallery Question

Hi there,
We are trying to create a video gallery using a Spry XML Dataset.
It's currently working in FF and Safari, but not working in IE6-7 or Opera.
Here is a link... http://www.rightsidedesign.com.au/test/tv.html
IE seems to display the content for a second, but it doesn't load the videos or text, but then it disappears.
The elements being fed via the dataset are the video, video description (at bottom right of video) and thumbnails
Can anyone give us a hint as to what we might be doing wrong??
We followed the tutorial at... http://www.coremediadesign.co.uk/web_design_tutorials/dreamweaver_tutorials/spry_image_gal lery_adobe.html
and replaced the image with an FLV player.
Thanks for your help in advance!

How to show an entry with specific ID from spry xml dataset?

I have a spry xml dataset, can I show only one record
specified by, say, unique ID?

yeah, I first posted this one, then found out that my other
message was replied:)

Spry xml datasets can't recognise images

Been trying all day to load a spry xml dataset with image
information into a table using the wizard. problem is, you can't
tell the wizard that the data in one of the columns is the path to
an image, so it sees it as a string and just sticks the path in the
table. I tried putting it in as html rather than string but really
I am firing into the dark here!
What have I missed?

thanks for the reply. I found the issue in the path string,
along with having to edit the html tag directly, which I wasn't
expecting, being used to DW doing it all for me! I found a lot of
the answer here:
http://www.csupomona.edu/~llsoe/42101/css/sprytables.htm
At least it stopped me being scared of html!

SPRY XML Dataset Get Schema

Currently when I try and add a SPRY XML Dataset and hit the Get Schema button I get "Unable to locate or parse the XML Source (-1,-1). I created the XML from the Export recordset to XML tool in the Developer Toolbox. I can't seem to figure out what I am missing. Anyone else having this problem as well. It use to work then I think my system did some update from Adobe and since has stopped working. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,
The error usually means that the XML source that you choose within Spry XML Data Set interface is not valid.
So you should check the XML source to see if it returns a valid XML.

Spry xml dataset driven page and search engines

If a page uses Spry xml dataset to present products to a
visitor, what do google and yahoo crawlers see in that page?
I'm asking because i plan to rewrite our products' static
pages using spry xml dataset, and i'd like to ensure crawlers see
the products. I haven't looked much, yet, into this pry capability,
but the products page will most probably be paginated (not sure if
possible in this capability) since there are hundreds of products.
currently, our static html pages generated good conversions
into purchases from google and yahoo searches.
It would be great if there is a real-life website that uses
this spry capability and has their pages appear in those search
engines.
thanks.

If a page uses Spry xml dataset to present products to a
visitor, what do google and yahoo crawlers see in that page?
search bot do not read / understand javascript. So they would
not index it.
Its a commen point of failure of the ajax techniques, Spry
has a handy solution for it (spry:content) wich will allow u to
overwrite 'content' if javascript is enabled so and bots will just
see the static page.

Spry XML Dataset reload

I am new to DW and have a question I am hoping someone will
answer. I am using Spry.Data.XMLDataSet found in SpryData.js. I
have it working correctly, but if I change the XML content and
attempt to reload the page using this data it does not show the
changes. I have declared a dsObj called dsXMLdata that the
XMLDataSet method loads. How can I cause the dsXMLdata to reload
from the file. I would assume this would happen each time the
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet method is called, but I never see my changes
unless I rename the file and read the newly named file.. Kind of a
PIA.
Thanks.,
Pat

I am brand new to Spry, and ran into the same problem. I
believe you will have the functionality you are looking for if you
use the subpaths command in your dataset declaration. Otherwise,
your XML dataset will be limited to the data nodes in the first
tier of the <root> node (ie. only channel) You can try code
like this:
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("test.xml", "root", {
subPaths: ["channel/data1","channel/data2"] });
then access through the tags {ds1::channel/data1} ....
If you download the prerelease 1.5 spry package it has the
API docs with samples. One of the samples is about nested XML data
structures and is a good source to find out what you can do.
Hope this helps

Passing a Spry XML Dataset to a function

I am very much a noob at this. How would I pass my XML dataset to a function so that the function would check a "date" field in the XML file and color the corresponding date cell in a YUI calendar? I have looked through the YUI Forums, but couldn't find any good examples. I am making a calendar of events that uses a calendar to filter the events in my XML file. I want the calendar to highlight the dates that have an event scheduled, so the users get a visual pointer to when events are scheduled. Here is my code:

The function "dateHighlightRenderer" is where I am running into the problem. How do I code this so that "dateHighlightRenderer" can read the "date" field in my XML file?

I have tried the getData() function for this. However, I am not sure if I am using it right:
var d = dsMDEvents.getData();
for (var i = 0; i < d.length(); i++) {
   var day = d[i]["date"];
   YAHOO.calendar.cal1.addRenderer(day, dateHighlightRenderer);
When I run this for loop, my calendar will not appear on the page. Any suggestions?

Spry xml dataset / IE / Phatfusion Multibox

I try to use spry xml data set with phatfusion multibox.
I use multibox script to open a PHP page with query string
insides spry:region.
It has problem on this application on IE either 6 and 7. But
works fine in Firefox
The requested php page just open in a new window.
I tested to relocate the dummy scripts for multibox outsides
spry:region, the script do works.
How to solve the problem ! Help please

Hi bsyyu,
First, you might want to validate your markup because I see
that you have several unclosed tags and a missing title tag.
To solve the problem, you'll have to create your multibox
object inside an observer for the region.
Replace your code inside the region:
<script
type="text/javascript">
var ben = {};
window.addEvent('domready', function(){
ben = new MultiBox('mb', {descClassName: 'multiBoxDesc'});
</script>
with this code, put in a script in the page head:
var obs = new Object;
obs.onPostUpdate = function(notifier, data){
var ben = new MultiBox('mb', {descClassName:
'multiBoxDesc'});
Spry.Data.Region.addObserver('events', obs);

XML Driven Video Gallery with Playlist

and not
image_mcl.loadClip(image[k], "thumbnail_mc.t"+k);
but I gets no response

Spry XML dataset + PHP problem

I have installed Dreamweaver CS3 and created a simple page
that receives a XML dataset from a PHP page. I was not able to
display any data in either FF or IE (just got a blank page). I then
downloaded the 1.5 pre-release and discovered the Data Set Explorer
which worked well in FF but doesn't do anything in IE. Then I
copied SpryData.js and xpath.js to my sites' SpryAssets directory,
overwriting the 1.4 files and my simple page worked in FF,
but still NOT in IE6/7. I then uploaded the pages to a
remote server and tested on another PC, but it still doesn't work.
If I replace the php file with a XML dataset it works on both FF
and IE. Can someone please look at the
test page and tell me what
I am missing? The PHP page that feeds the XML can be viewed
here

Thanks for the reply Kin, I also had an idea that it might be
the headers. When I copied the example from
here
the
header('Content-type:
text/xml'); line was commented out by mistake! Thanks for
your help, it's working now!

Ajax load spry/xml dataset....

I'm a noob. And a very frustrated one.
I am using Ajax to load an external page into my main site.
The external page has XML/Spry data attached to it. The page loads
fine when executing the Ajax request, but the page will not display
the XML data. Any ideas? Do I need to embed the xml? How do I
attach the xml to my main page?

Do the scripts get loaded when u do the request?, is the page
working when u don't do a request?
Got a url to show? or code snippet? Using 1.6.1?

Spry XML dataset help needed

Hope someone can help me --
I've been having some success bringing an XML data set into a table using Spry, but was looking for some help on how to do something more specific.
I have a small group of data with the following headings: State, number, credits, date. I'd like to create a two-row table with the top row as the column headings and a second row that populates based on a drop-down list for the state.
For example:
State
Number
Credits
Date
Alabama (drop down arrow)
589654
7
4/29/2009
Then, when you click the drop down arrow and choose New York, the other fields will fill in from that XML item
State
Number
Credits
Date
New York (drop down arrow)
XL7654
6.4
5/3/2009
Can anyone help?

Hi eschillay,
Assuming you had a data set with column names that matched the headers in your table, it would look something like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("states.xml", "/states/state");
</script>
<div spry:detailregion="ds1">
<table>
<tr>
    <th>State</th>
    <th>Credit</th>
    <th>Numbers</th>
    <th>Date</th>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>
      <select spry:repeatchildren="ds1" spry:choose="choose" onchange="ds1.setCurrentRowNumber(this.selectedIndex)">
        <option spry:when="{ds_RowNumber} == {ds_CurrentRowNumber}" selected="selected" value="{State}">{State}</option>
        <option spry:default="default" value="{State}">{State}</option>
      </select>
    </td>
    <td>{Credit}</td>
    <td>{Numbers}</td>
    <td>{Date}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

Spry Menu Using Nested XML Dataset (Spry 1.6)

I have a vertical menu with a few items. One of which is
labeled Products which has submenus. I want to have that submenu
read from a Nested XML dataset. Using a single dataset for one
level in a menu is easy enough, but the subenu will have submenus.
Example Menu:
Home
Company
Products
|-- Product 1
|-- Item 1
|-- Item 2
|-- Item 3
|-- Product 2
|-- Item 1
|-- Item 2
|-- Product 3
|-- Item 1
|-- Item 2
|-- Item 3
|-- Item 4
|-- Product 4
|-- Item 1
|-- Item 2
|-- Product 5
I have been looking for an easy way to use the Spry Nested
XML Dataset to create the Product/Item menu. The number of Products
may vary as well as the number of Items in each Product submenu
(also, some Products may not have Items).
I already have an ASP page that creates the XML data from a
database.
Schema follows (XSD ):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsd:element name="products">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="product_type"
maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="type_name" maxOccurs="1"
type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="type_url" maxOccurs="1"
type="xsd:anyURI"/>
<xsd:element name="product_name"
maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="item_name" maxOccurs="1"
type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="item_url" maxOccurs="1"
type="xsd:anyURI"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
I have been programming for 17 years but am new to Spry. If
this cannot be done easily with the Spry framework, I'll probably
wind up splitting the XML data into 2 files (Products and Items)
then writing a nested loop and call each by row, but then I have to
find out how Spry Datasets reference XML data. Figuring out how to
call rows from the XML data shouldn't be so bad, but this method
just seems like such a hassle for something that should be easy.
Pseudocode follows:
j=1
i=1 to TotalNumberProducts
display Product i from Products
ItemsExist=true
While ItemsExist
if j > TotalNumberItems | Item j is not for Product then
ItemsExist=false
else
display Item j from Items
j++
Wend
Next
Thanks in advance for any help or direction!

That's exactly what I'm trying to do. However, I implemented
that code and the submenus won't appear. I suspect the submenus
aren't finding the field names from the Nested XML Dataset. The
first level of Product menus work great (this is a submenu of the
overall menu) and correctly identify products that do not have
submenus, so I know it's picking up the number of records in the
Nested Dataset correctly - it just won't display the data in the
next level of menu.

Need help with xml video gallery

Hello everyone
I recently bought a xml video gallery. I'm loading the movie externally into another movie. When the xml gallery loads, it cancels all sounds.
I need to figure out where in the actionscription can i reverse the cancellation of sounds. Can anyone help? if possible, I can email, whomever is willing to help, the xml gallery to see if theres another reason the sound is being canceled.
Also, the sound of the gallery doesn't work til you click the volume scroller.
Here are two parts of actionscript included in the gallery:
part one:
