== Installation ==

1. Download the plugin and upload it to the **/wp-content/plugins/** directory. Activate through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
2. Download the [Free Xtreme3DCarousel](http://www.flashtuning.net/flash-samples/Xtreme3DCarouselFree.zip "Xtreme 3D Carousel") and copy the content of the archive in **wp-content** folder. (e.g: "http://www.yoursite.com/wp-content/flashtuning/xtreme-3d-carousel")
3. Insert the swf into post or page using this tag: `[xtreme-carousel]`. The default values for width and height are 600 400. If you want other values write the width and height attributes into the tag like so: `[xtreme-carousel width="yourvalue" height="yourvalue"]`
4. To configure the 3D carousel general parameters use the carousel-settings.xml. For individual carousel items use the carousel-contents.xml file (image path, image link and more). Enter [Flashtuning.net](http://www.flashtuning.net "Flashtuning") and play with the settings of the [Xtreme 3D Carousel](http://www.flashtuning.net/flash-xml-menus-navigation/x-treme-3d-carousel-menu-xml.html "Sample Xtreme 3D Carousel") online demo.
5. If you want to use multiple instances of Xtreme 3D Carousel on different pages. Follow this steps:
   a. There are 2 xml files in **wp-content/flashtuning/xtreme-3d-carousel** folder: **carousel-settings.xml**, used for general settings, and **carousel-content.xml**, used for individual items.
   b. Modify the 2 xml files according to your needs and rename them (eg.: **carousel-settings2.xml**, **carousel-content2.xml**)
   c. Open the **carousel-settings2.xml**, search for this tag `< object param="contentXML"	value="carousel-content.xml" />` and change the attribute **value** to **carousel-content2.xml** .
   d. Copy the 2 modified xml files to **wp-content/flashtuning/xtreme-3d-carousel** .
   e. Use the **xml** attribute `[xtreme-carousel xml="carousel-settings2.xml"]` when you insert the carousel on a page.
6. Optionally for custom pages use this php function: `xtremeCarouselEcho(width,height,xmlFile)` (e.g: **xtremeCarouselEcho(595,420,'carousel-settings.xml')** )

= Remove the Flashtuning.net logo =

If you don’t want to have the Flashtuning.net logo on the top left corner, you'll have to purchase the [commercial package](http://www.flashtuning.net/flash-xml-menus-navigation/x-treme-3d-carousel-menu-xml.html "FT Xtreme 3D Carousel"). You'll also have access to the fla file. After downloading the commercial archive, overwrite the swf file from the `/wp-content/flashtuning/xtreme-3d-carousel` directory.
