does anybody know how come the flying object code is not working for xanga now?
or is there any other way to get it?
i really like the flying object effect, i really want it for my site!!!

Which code - could you specify what you are talking about with an example or with a link to a site that has it?
digital.fragrance
Try this one - it's used in my Cherry Blossoms layout. Just place your image url where it says "PUT IMAGE URL HERE".

CODE
<script language=JavaScript>
st=setTimeout;
change='';
var no = 1;
var speed = 15;
var falling = "PUT IMAGE URL HERE";
var ns4up = (document.layers) ? 1 : 0;
var ie4up = (document.all) ? 1 : 0;
var dx, xp, yp;
var am, stx, sty;
var i, doc_width = 600, doc_height = 800;
if (ns4up) {
doc_width = self.innerWidth;
doc_height = self.innerHeight;
} else if (ie4up) {
doc_width = document.body.clientWidth;
doc_height = document.body.clientHeight;
}
dx = new Array();
xp = new Array();
yp = new Array();
am = new Array();
stx = new Array();
sty = new Array();
for (i = 0; i < no; ++ i) {
dx[i] = 0;
xp[i] = Math.random()*(doc_width-50);
yp[i] = Math.random()*doc_height;
am[i] = Math.random()*20;
stx[i] = 0.02 + Math.random()/10;
sty[i] = 0.7 + Math.random();
if (ns4up) {
if (i == 0) {
document.write("<layer name=\"dot"+ i +"\" left=\"20\" top=\"10\" visibility=\"show\"><img src=\"" + falling + "\" border=\"0\"></layer>");
} else {
document.write("<layer name=\"dot"+ i +"\" left=\"20\" top=\"10\" visibility=\"show\"><img src=\"" + falling + "\" border=\"0\"></layer>");
}
} else if (ie4up) {
if (i == 0) {
document.write("<div id=\"dot"+ i +"\" style=\"POSITION: abso"+change+"lute; Z-INDEX: "+ i +"; VISIBILITY: visible; TOP: 10px; LEFT: 20px;\"><img src=\"" + falling + "\" border=\"0\"></div>");
} else {
document.write("<div id=\"dot"+ i +"\" style=\"POSITION: abso"+change+"lute; Z-INDEX: "+ i +"; VISIBILITY: visible; TOP: 10px; LEFT: 20px;\"><img src=\"" + falling + "\" border=\"0\"></div>");
} } }
function snowNS() {
for (i = 0; i < no; ++ i) {
yp[i] += sty[i];
if (yp[i] > doc_height-50) {
xp[i] = Math.random()*(doc_width-am[i]-30);
yp[i] = 0;
stx[i] = 0.02 + Math.random()/10;
sty[i] = 0.7 + Math.random();
doc_width = self.innerWidth;
doc_height = self.innerHeight;
}
dx[i] += stx[i];
document.layers["dot"+i].top = yp[i];
document.layers["dot"+i].left = xp[i] + am[i]*Math.sin(dx[i]);
}
st("snowNS()", speed);
}
function snowIE() {
for (i = 0; i < no; ++ i) {
yp[i] += sty[i];
if (yp[i] > doc_height-50) {
xp[i] = Math.random()*(doc_width-am[i]-30);
yp[i] = 0;
stx[i] = 0.02 + Math.random()/10;
sty[i] = 0.7+ Math.random();
doc_width = document.body.clientWidth;
doc_height = document.body.clientHeight;
}
dx[i] += stx[i];
document.all["dot"+i].style.pixelTop = yp[i];
document.all["dot"+i].style.pixelLeft = xp[i] + am[i]*Math.sin(dx[i]);
}
st("snowIE()", speed);
}
if (ns4up) {
snowNS();
} else if (ie4up) {
snowIE();
}

stefani_hsc
it's not working, either!
digital.fragrance
hmm.... are you putting it into your header?

What browser are you using?

It works for me in the preview... hm...
stefani_hsc
yes, i put it in the header, i use internet explore.
the flying objects sometimes do show up for about one or two seconds, then disappear;
sometimes it's just not moving, everything just stick at same place.
digital.fragrance
Does your computer load images slowly because that sometimes causes the script to pause and disappear. Can you give me a link to your xanga so I can see what's going on? My compy is generally fast, and that way I can see if this is a script error or a computer error.

Well, it works in the skin previewer - at least, your header code does.

Can you give me you header and web stats codes? I have a hunch that some codes are conflicting.

thanks for your help, but i decide to give up.

For refrence, many codes work in the prewvie that don't work on Xanga anymore. =3
Oh, and it works... But they don't fall. It's a little odd. Hm, doesn't matter what code I use either... Ah, Xanga must have disabled something. You could possibly remote-link the java for it... Hm, that would be something to try later on. Anyways...
