Little correction, upper script only shuffles effects... this one does both.

I will be highly appreciate your help

ok so maybe im over doing it but i needed these abilities to work with my site so i figured i would share.
I wanted to pull in a blog entry to go over an image. so now you can add a php file just like the txt file. (see above)
I also added the ability to pull the images in in a particular order.

instructions:

• add the link or description tags to an image using a text or php file:
  • you must have a file with the same name as the image including the extension .
    so if you have image1.png and image2.png and you want to associate image1.png with a text file then you would add a file image1.png.txt.
    if you wanted to associate image2.png with a php file you would add image2.png.php.
    THESE FILES MUST BE IN THE SAME DIRECTORY AS THE IMAGES
• Add ability to pull images in a certain order
  • change $order_file to the php file containing the order array.
    the order array must be formated like this.
    $_slide[0] = "image1.png";
    $_slide[1] = "image2.png";
    and so on...

cu3er_config.php

<?

//configurable variables
$dir        = "/path/to/image/directory"; //directory containing the images
$img_url    = "url/to/image"; //image url to append to the image
$randomize  = false;  //randomize the images
$order_file = "_order.php"; //file that hold the order to display the images. if this file exists randomize is ignored

//these variables should be left empty
$slides = "";
$cu3er = "";

//you can add any number of transitions here.
//if you create a cool transitions list please share.
function effect(){
srand((double)microtime()*1234567);
$effects = array(
'num="1" slicing="vertical" direction="down" cube_color="0xFFFFFF"',
'num="3" slicing="vertical" direction="down" cube_color="0xFFFFFF"',
'num="1" direction="right" shader="flat" cube_color="0xFFFFFF"',
'num="4" direction="right" shader="flat" cube_color="0xFFFFFF"',
'num="6" slicing="vertical" direction="up" shader="flat" delay="0.05" z_multiplier="6" cube_color="0xFFFFFF"',

'num="4" direction="right" shader="phong" cube_color="0xFFFFFF"');
return $effects[mt_rand(0,count($effects)-1)];
}

//takes the file name, checks to make sure it is a valid image.
//checks to see if the image has a corresponding txt or php file to load
//txt files can contain the slides <link> tag and/or <description> tag
//php files can generate these tags from blogs, database, ect...

  global $img_url, $slides;

      } elseif(file_exists($f['basename'] . ".php")) {
        include $f['basename'] . ".php";

      $slides[] = "<slide>\n  <url>{$img_url}/{$file}</url>\n  {$file_info}\n</slide>\n  <transition " . effect() . " />\n";
      break;

  }
}

//if we change to the directory its just easier to work with, we dont need full paths.
chdir($dir);

//if there is a file refered to in $order_file exists then that is how we will pull in the images.

sample order file
_order.php

<?php
  $_slide[0] = "image1.png";
  $_slide[1] = "image2.png";
  $_slide[2] = "image3.png";
?>

hope this is usfull to someone else.

Good day everyone, well I used this:

flashvars.xml = "config.php?val1=1&val2=2";
It's ok but cu3r when I call val2
$_GET['val2']
in config.php does'nt work. I think cu3r works only with one variable. I tried with both variables just xml file and works.

Now I'm working with one variable but again cu3r dosen't work, this is my code.

while($Rs = $queryBanner->fetch_array()){
$xml.='<slide><url>'.$Rs["picture"].'</url></slide><transition num="6" slicing="vertical" direction="up" shader="flat" delay="0.05" z_multiplier="4" />';
}

Please help me and sorry for my english is terrible.
