MappedUp.com beta

Ah excellent!

You're probably the first one to do this, though I think putting it in your site is a cooler feature than using it as a screensaver. Anyway...

If you download the reduced version for your website (it's the version you can see at this site), you already have all the files you need. You can just upload the SWF files and the UFO.js to your website, in the same folder as your HTML page.

Now you can open the mappedup_ufo.html in a text editor. I have marked the part you can copy-paste into your own HTML page. You can change the width and height of MappedUp in there (you can set it in pixels, eg. '900', or in percent, eg. '80%').

The most important thing you can change in this block of code is the link to your personal feed. Right now, mine is inserted (www.mappedup.com/user/rss/JeroenW/). You can simply change that into yours (www.mappedup.com/user/rss/Ken30307/).

Now you will see your personal news on your own website!

If you don't have a website yourself, but do have a profile with, eg., MySpace, things are different.

First, you only have to copy the mappedup8.swf to some webhosting service. Remember it's URL (eg. http://www.myfilehost.com/myname/mappedup8.swf)!

Second, copy-paste the code from mappedup_embed.html to your profile. You can do the same as above to change it to your personal feed. But since you have the SWF on another site, you have to change that in the code as well. So where the code now says src="mappedup8.swf" you have to change it into src="http://www.myfilehost.com/myname/mappedup8.swf".

YEA! Thanks for your help! I will let you know when it is up and running

<p id="mappedup">You have Flash / Javascript turned off.</p>
<script type="text/javascript" src="ufo.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var FO = { movie:"mappedup.swf",
width:"100%",
height:"400px",
flashvars:"link=http://www.mappedup.com/rss/user/amigo/" };
UFO.create(FO, "mappedup");
</script>

I pasted the above code to my html page. However, it doesn't work. The java console says UFO is not defined. What did I missed here. Every files are uploaded to the right directory. Please help.

Do you also have the ufo.js file uploaded? It looks like you haven't

Yes, I did uploaded it to the server.

Here is what I got when I try to open it from server side.

Script: C\Windows\Temp\ftpx\ufo.js
Line: 6
Char: 1
Error: 'document' is undefined
Code: 800A1391
Source: Microsoft JScript runtime error

Now it is working. I think this was the right script that i should have embeded to my html page. Thank you for your help. I am also using your mp3 player, If you have the time you can visit my site www.ethiocartoons.net.

Hello. I am trying to embed MU in my website - however I still use FrontPage [yes I know I am jurassic] to edit/publish. Any instructions that will help will be much appreciated.
Be well. Practice big medicine.

Oddly, this is getting 'cut' at the top and bottom... the upper most of Canada is missing, and the lower half of South America is missing... it's like the 'letter box' version.

It's just sitting in the page, no tables or anything to cut it off, just not all showing up.

Thoughts?

Hi:

I found the problem... it's FIREFOX! On IE and Safari and other browsers we're good, but Firefox on PC and Mac seem to cut off the top and bottom of the app, any thoughts?

I uploaded the swf to a file hosting address, changed everything you told me to in the code, and copied the required code onto the website, but it's not working. I'm using a profile of a site like myspace, but all I see is a big blank white square. Thanks!
