Flash slide show - feedback / help

I designed an animated slide show that is part of a client's website: http://www.pizzamondobend.com/
Client is complaining "running super choppy on my computer" and I see the issue as well - corrected once I hit the refresh button, but can anyone assist with something I may have overlooked either in design or activation with this Flash component?
Thank you ahead of time!! ~Kate

As Ned suggests, it does load fine and play OK with a good connection speed.
I think what your client may be talking about however, is on a marginal connection, I do notice some slight pausing, choppiness on loading for the first time, once loaded and refreshed it runs fine. I also noticed that the pics that slide change speed, so they are either eased or there are multiple points in your tween line, they are not a smooth even pan. The pics that fade in and out look fine.
If I were to make a suggestion I would suggest you increase your frame rate speed, 30 or 40 fps or more, but use the same time to tween images as they are currently, test out a few see if it helps... more frames in the same period of time will certainly make the images appear to move smoother. Also carefully look at your tweens to see if there are multple points within the line. If there are multiple points, maybe try one point at beginning and one at end only. If all else fails, you could try a preloader.

Need Help Intergrating a Flash slide show

I'm fairly new with Dreamweaver and was doing fine with
building my site until I got to learning how to "Integrate a Flash
slide show". I purchased Adobes "Classroom in a Book" and it has
been an extreme help but once I got to that chapter of the book it
doesn't work when my site is published. I followed all the
instructions in the book and it looks good and works fine within my
site when I do a test but when I publish it to the web nothing
comes up, it is just a blank spot where the Slideshow is suppose to
be. This is how my code looks, please if anyone can help to see if
I'm doing something wrong:

Please help!!!
Thank you.

First of all, it shouldn't be inside the <noscript> tag
see
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_noscript.asp
for an explanation.
Once you fix that, make sure you upload any dependent
files—i.e. slideshow.swf & any javascript files that may
have been generated by DW.
If it still doesn't work after you've taken those steps, then
post a URL to the page in question. It's virtually impossible for
anyone to help you when they can only see part of your code.

Dreamweaver website with flash slide showing showing graphics poorly

Hello,
I put this problem up in Dreamweaver and Flash and got some questions from couple people but no answer yet. Adobe tech support is only available mon though fri so thhey are not available, so I thought I would try here.
I have a flash slide show I built for a dreamweaver website that contains vecctor images that are losing quality when I run my domain site. I have tested the flash file in flash looks great. I have previewed in live view in dreamweaver graphics look smooth but when I load up my files to ftp to my host account and test from there the quality of the edges of the vectors is not smooth. I see lots of jagged edges and not sure why.
I test everything on my 24 inch monitor so the graphics are probably enlarged but even when I test the flash file in flash and the html file of my hard drive to a browser like firefox my graphics are smooth, so not sure if its resolution problem. also tested my website on my laptop which is a smaller screen 15 inch and the graphics look bad on the website from there too. Soi f it were a resolution problem I think the 15 inch screen would be showing the graphics smoothly not jagged. ?????
Does anyone have any ideas or could assist me with this problem? I
Johanna
http://johannabresnahan.com
please keep in mind when tested in flash, dreamweaver (live view and firefox browser from my hardrive html files the graphics all appear smooth and good quality. its when I transferred them by ftp to host server files and preview there and enter in my website url that the quality of the graphics and text in the graphics is jagged in many areas.
I spoke with the domain tech support too but did not get the answer but some thoughful input.

The key answer to this problem was to import the files in the original native form ai not jpeg for the
vector illustrations which kept the quality of the text that was converted
with create outlines tool in illustrator to make each character its own independent graphic
to be independently scalable to maintain its quality. Since most of the problems I was having were related to the text inside each artwork was rendered poorly in the finished slideshow on my live website url. The digital photography images were never a problem. The commentary and feedback in the dreamweaver forum helped me to figure out how to resolve the issues I was having.
I just thought I would post here in case anyone was wondering.

Flash Slide Show not Showing after Hosting Change

Hey guys!
I don't know if this question is for you or for the good folks at the Dreamweaver forum, but I thought I would try here first. I took over a website for a family member to help them update it from time to time (They were paying a company to do it). When I changed hosting from the companies hosting to my own personal GoDaddy hosting everything went right, except for 2 flash slide shows (Simple rotating images). They just apear as clear boxes now. You can see what I am talking about here: http://grangerfun.com/golf and here http://grangerfun.com/pizza . You will notice the empty large empty box on the right in both pages. When you right click on it the browser recognizes that it is flash. On the Piza site I tried taking out the original code and entering the flash object via Dreamweaver CS5, but that yeilded the same results (I only mention this because the code on that site will thus look a bit different). What am I missing here? If you need more info, please let me know! I apreaciate all of the help you guys have given me over the years! I hope to one day pay the favor back!

You need to look at the Flash source file (.fla) to see what goes on inside. If the files worked in the previous server, then whoever made the files should be able to determine where any supporting files need to be placed. If that turns out to be the company that's been dumped you might or might not get help in finding that out. The least you can try to do is to copy everything from the existing site into the same file/directory structure on the new server, which I would assume is what you have tried to do, so if it is possible to still check, see what else might be on the previous server that got missed.

Problem controlling Flash Slide Show

I would like to use a static image to control a flash slide
show; in which clicking the image would start the preloader and the
slide show at the same time. I have just inserted a flash slide
show which immediately preloads and starts the slide show when the
webpage is loaded. I have inserted a large play button image and
assigned the proper behavior attributes to try and control the
slide show without any success. Here is the webpage:
http://www.ronusa.com/buick_grand_national.htm
Please see the attached code for the slide show. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Ned. When I say slide I mean instead of a scene. There is a presentation and then the slide under it. If I click on the presentation it has one key frame and I think that is what's playing when I try to import the swf into a video editing program or try to export to a quicktime movie. Its like it never plays the slide, just the presentation which has nothing but the one key frame. When I play just the swf it does fine, but I can't export it to a quicktime movie.
The design of the slide is just text, jpgs and music transitioning in and out.
My intention is to import a movie into youtube. For some reason a swf does not import very well. So that is why I wanted to convert the swf to a movie. Thanks again for your help.
Mike.

Embedding a flash slide show in a dreamweaver table

I want to embed (is that the right word?) a flash slide show
into a table in Dreamweaver CS3. I'm using Flash CS3. Can anybody
point me to a good template that would allow
a. Different categories of photos
b. Thumbnails
c. Descriptions of photos (this is a product gallery)
d. Sound would be cool.
Thanks.

Have you considered posting in the Dreamweaver forum? This is a transitional forum for users of GoLive. You do not appear to be converting a GoLive slide show to Dreamweaver.

Can I make a non-flash slide show using Fireworks, with JPEGs not GIFs?

Look to using jQuery instead of Flash. There are a variety of redy-made solutions available, just search Google or visit the Dreamweaver forum and ask there.

Creating a Flash Slide-Show

Hello Community,
Can somebody explain shortly how to create a Flash Slide-Show in a HTML Document? Let's say I have 5 images with logo and want that they change every 10 seconds. Do I need to work with JavaScript?
Regards,
MC

Your best bet will be to search Google using terms like "AS3 slideshow tutorial" (or use "AS2" if that's your preference).
A flash slideshow will not be likely to use javascript since Flash primarily uses actionscript.

Simple flash slide-show

Hi,
Can someone help me find a simple images slide show that has
nothing on it but displays and fades from one image to the next in
an images directory?
Any help is appreciated.

www.kirupa.com has one (loads external images)
and www.gotoandlearn.com might have one.

Flash Slide Show - need to convert jpgs to symbols

Flash beginner here,
I'm making a slide show, one slide at a time with alpha fades
overlapping so each image will fade in while the next fades in.
Tell me if my workflow can be improved:
1.) I imported all the pre-sized jpeg images into the library
2.) I then brought one image onto the stage and converted it
to a symbol so I could apply the alpha fade.
3.) I create a new layer and repeat the process with the next
image down the timeline with fades.
This is a slow one-by-one process. I'm wondering if there is
a better way. For instance, one thing that would have helped
streamline the process was if I could have converted all of the
images in the library to symbols in one fell swoop, let the new
symbol take on the name of the jpeg image without the .jpg
extension would have been good enough.
Also, re-creating the identical 'fade in, hold and fade-out'
routine over and over seems like it would have been better if I
could have copied that routine from one timeline and pasted it to
the next while being able to highlight that area and slide it down
the time line 100 frames, would also have helped the process.
Any tips on how I could have done it better, smarter?
TIA,
Ken

There isn't any parameter in the current code that appears to control the preloader activity, so if one could be added, it would probably be a selection of whatever interface DW provided for creating the show.
If it's any use to you, I took a couple of minutes and created a simplified swf file using the two images. It is a static piece, meaning you can't add/change images for it like the slideshow appears to support, and it does not preload, but it may pass for now... if not, the quick effort didn't kill my weekend plans.
The zip file linked here contains an html page which you can use to copy/paste the embedding code into your file, the swf file, and a javascript file that must also reside in the folder. In the html head section there are two script tags that must also be added to the html head section of your file.

Flash Slide Show

I am using Flash MX and following the instruction for
creating a slide show it tells me to add a layer and name it then
click on 1st blank frame and import photos. It then tells me to
locate the photo sequence select the 1st photo click add and it
will ask me to import and the photos will be imported. Problem I
can find nothing that lets me ADD. Anyone out there familiar with
Flash MX that can help me out here.

Hi,
Looks like you removed the link; I couldn't find it.
I'm a flash dev, and could take a quick look (if you haven't
already fixed the problem).
Some helpful info would be:
Your OS (os x, windows)
Your flash player version (you can find this by
right-clicking on any flash content and selecting "About Adobe
Flash Player" etc.

Flash Slide show--adding graphics over multiple slides

I'm new to Flash--I'm trying to make a slide show
presentation where the first slide has bits of a graphic and then
more bits are added in subsequent slides. What is the most
efficient way to do this? Many of my images are organized with
layers in Illustrator if that's helpful (all CS3).
Thanks

Here is some as to get you started
Drag a Loader component onto the stage.
name it pictureHolder then paste this as into the first frame
of your movie.
loadVariables("totalImages.txt", "");
timeOut = getTimer();
imageNumber = totalImages;
countDown = function () {
trace(imageNumber);
pictureHolder.load("_slide-images/"+imageNumber+".jpg");
imageNumber--;
if (imageNumber == 0) {
clearInterval(timer);
imageNumber = totalImages;
timer = setInterval(countDown, 10000);
timer = setInterval(countDown, 10000);
now create a text file called totalImages.txt
keep this text file in the same location as your flash file
and .swf
now create a folder called _slide-images
in this folder place all your images. name them numerically
ie 1.jpg 2.jpg etc.
Now open the totalImages.txt and paste this into it.
&imageNumber=20&totalImages=20
20 means that you will have 20 images, just change the munber
accordingly.
HTH.

How to ad link to slide show ? Help !!

I have this slide show and am trying to add a link to each image loaded, can anyone help me with this ?
I am new to this and have no clue how to go about this, so maybe you can help me with the completed code if you can !
thanks to anyone that can help. Here is the code.....
// set random # variables - each must be 0 for first 'while' loop below

        trace ("order attribute in xml isn't correct - must specify either 'random' or 'sequential'");
    clearInterval(timerInterval);
stop();

It doesn't look like the xml file matches the code. While folks here like to help, there's a point where the effort is fairly time consuming and it becomes doing your design work for you, which is what we normally do for a living. Your best bet will be to find something that has all of the features you want included in it. If you are willing to spend a little money, you can probably find one fairly inexpensive that you can tailor to your needs without having to edit the file code at all.
You can always wait to see if someone else responds.

Media Manager slide show timing help

Hi,
Not sure which forum this belongs but I have built multiple slideshows on my vista 32 machine using media manager. I added music in the back. When shown on my pc the slide show takes the timing settings I gave and runs perfect. However when I go to the tv, the timing is fixed at 5 sec. What can I do to adjust the timing? Also, is there a means to play in a loop? I have a music file with slide show I want to use on my large video wall during a party and want it to set to loop (100+ slides). Thanks for any help!

Open your project. Hover your mouse over the music track in the timeline and when it changes to a hand symbol, click once to highlight the track you want to remove. Then hit delete.
