The application is a SWF file, so it must be embedded into the web page. You can use Adobe's embed code, but using the swfobject is much easier and more standards-friendly.
Embedding using the swfobject is a two-step process. First, you must load the Javascript file into your web page. Google hosts the file, so you can load it from Google thusly:
Second, you call the swfobject and pass it parameters thusly:
The parameters are described in detail below.
The following variables must be passed to the application (via the Flashvars in the embed code):
| Variable | Value |
|---|---|
| FileName | The name of the picture when uploading or downloading. |
| Server | The full path to the server-side script that handles the file upload. See the sample embed code above for a reference. |
| LicenseKey | The license key that you purchased to unlock the application. It will be a long string of text something like this: 2317e23c2a080396968d6ef2ddec8302. A license key is locked to one domain. If the license key is wrong, incomplete, or for the wrong domain, the application will enter into demo mode. |
| Format | The format that you want to create the image file. Your choices are PNG and JPG. |
You can use a Javascript command to change the FileName parameter dynamically. The command to set the FileName parameter is "setName()" and must include as a parameter the new name.
For example, this command will set the FileName to "HOOHA:"
function changeName(){
document.getElementById("makemypicture").setName("HOOHA");
}
The document.getElementById() command allows Javascript to locate the embedded SWF. The "makemypicture" parameter is the name of the SWF, as indicated by the embed code (attributes.id="makemypicture";).
