Flash Rotator XML Playlist Format

This is the format of the XML playlist file used by the Flash Image Rotator widget.

Note that if XML data is entered directly in the XS editor source mode repeated child elements must be given an ID otherwise XS will collapse all the children into a single element.

You can use the Code editor to add/edit XML data however this can easily result in errors if the item is edited in XS and saved. A better alternative is to use a Dynamic Code widget. Since these are processed at render-time no XML data is inserted into the editor.

The best option to handle custom XML in pages is to use a widget. This rotator has been implemented with a Code Widget.
