There are many other particular properties on the Live Demo. == Installation == Make sure your Wordpress version is greater than 2.8 and your hosting provider is using PHP5. 1. There are two files to download: [WordPress Plugin](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/image-slider-fx.zip "Image Slider FX Plugin") (that you have to install and activate) & [Free archive](http://www.flashxml.net/free/download/image-slider.zip "Image Slider FX") 2. Create a new folder inside your **wp-content** folder called **flashxml**, inside this folder create a new one called **image-slider-fx** and copy the content of the **free archive** there 3. If you copied the **free archive** to a location different than the one above, go to **Image Slider FX** from the **Settings** tab in your **WordPress Dashboard** and update the path accordingly 4. Add `[image-slider-fx][/image-slider-fx]` where you want the Flash to show up in your post/page 5. If you want to make the Image Slider FX part of your theme, edit the template files and add `` where you want it to show up 6. Go to [FlashXML.net](http://www.flashxml.net/ "Free Flash Components") and [customize your Image Slider FX](http://www.flashxml.net/image-slider.html "Image Slider FX") using the Live Demo. Generate the `settings.xml` text and use it to overwrite `wp-content/flashxml/image-slider-fx/settings.xml` 7. To use your own images, upload them to `wp-content/flashxml/image-slider-fx/images/` and update the `wp-content/flashxml/image-slider-fx/images.xml` file accordingly = Additional settings file = To embed the Image Slider FX more than once, you will need another settings file and (probably) another set of images. Let's assume your new file is called `settings2.xml`. Add `[image-slider-fx settings="settings2.xml"][/image-slider-fx]` where you want the Flash to show up in your post/page. If you made the Flash part of your theme, add the file name as **the first argument** of the `imagesliderfx_echo_embed_code()` function call (for example ``). = No Flash support text = To support visitors without Adobe Flash Player, you can provide alternative content by adding the text between `[image-slider-fx]` and `[/image-slider-fx]`. If you made the Flash part of your theme, add the text as **the second argument** of the `imagesliderfx_echo_embed_code()` function call (for example ``). = If you have PHP4 = To make it work with PHP4, add `[image-slider-fx width="600" height="300"][/image-slider-fx]` where you want the Flash to show up in your post/page. If you made the Flash part of your theme, add the width and height as **the third and fourth argument** of the `imagesliderfx_echo_embed_code()` function call. Don't forget to provide your own width and height values, since 600 and 300 are just examples. = Getting rid of the FlashXML.net label = To remove the FlashXML.net label from the top-left corner you'll need to buy the [paid package](http://www.flashxml.net/image-slider.html "Image Slider FX"). Once you'll do that, simply use the SWF file from the paid package to overwrite the SWF file from the `wp-content/flashxml/image-slider-fx/` folder. == Screenshots == 1. The Live Demo on [FlashXML.net](http://www.flashxml.net/image-slider.html "Image Slider FX") is the utility that helps easily customize your Image Slider FX to fit all your needs.
