It will need to produce XML with the same markup as the example file. Also, make sure there's no 'mode' variable to trigger XML loading.

Has anyone done this previously? Cheers Scotty Great plugin Roy – I’m trying to feed the movie with a feed from a groovy script that renders an xml fragment as per the sample files in your example however I can’t seem to get the movie to read in the rendered feed

In index.html I’m simply using

// so.addVariable(“xmlpath”, “tagcloud.xml”);
so.addVariable(“tagcloud”, “http://servername/resources/cloud”);

cloud.groovy produces the tags but I figure this isn’t supported ? Has anyone done this previously?

As for the motion, I increased the value given to a and b in tagCloud.as by a tiny bit. I could get a continuous rotation by increasing it a little more, but I like it when the motion finally slows down and stops after a while. in the updateTags function a and be were increased from 0.98 to 0.998 a = lasta * 0.998; b = lastb * 0.998; It can be seen here (still being developped but waiting for contents from client) : http://latisonnie.com/_index.shtml Thanks again for letting us use your module. W Thanks Roy,

You'll need to edit the movie's source code and re-publish it to properly remove the links and change the mouse behavior. The links are very easy to find in the Tag.as class. Keeping the cloud from coming to a full stop is a little more difficult. The updateTags function handles the movement. You'd need to keep the 'a' and 'b' variables from reaching zero.
