Automatic slideshow in GoLive

I would llike to add as slideshow that opens up automatically when the user gets to the page and also,that loops indefinately.
I tried making a SWF file from Image Ready, but it ended up being Soooooo heavy!!...22 mo for only 6 photos!??
I looked up some tutorials, but all i found was how to make a quicktime slideshow directly from golive...its ok but I want the slideshow to start automatically, not for the user to have to press play.
ideally, I would like to include about 15-20 different stills.
there is surely a simple way to do this?!!
I am on mac os 10.4.11
and GoLive CS 2
thanks for your help!......Katah

Just a thought... "the base image must have a name." Have you checked to make sure the base name image is used in the action. The instructions seem a bit vague and don't tell you when/how to use the base name, unless I'm overlooking it. Check that first, then is all else fails...
I'd suggest you use DaverJs SuperSlide show. It does everything you want and
is easy to setup. Your current files and naming structure will work with
this slideshow.
SuperSlide set of actions. The download file is at the bottom of this page.

Another user had questions on using SuperSlide and I provided screen caps on
implementing it's use. I use GoLive CS, but CS2 shouldn't be too much
different. Here is the thread.

It would be good if you could get the current slideshow to work, but if all
else fails try DaverJ's SuperSlide. I've used it extensively and it works
well. Here is an example page. The slide includes 80 images, so it might
take a few seconds for the images to load in your browser cache before the
slide starts. It's set to autoplay and loop.

I also use Mindpallet MultiPreload action to preload the images in the browser cache.

Need help with automatic slideshow

I made an automatic slideshow that switches frames at a set
interval but now i want to load each frame from an extrenal swf and
add a preloader for each frame, how do i tell the slideshow to wait
until the frame is loaded before it proceeds to the next frame, but
still have the movieclip be automatic. Also the slideshow can be
controlled mannually so i also want to know how to disable the
manual control till each frame is loaded.

Here is some of the action script for the slideshow.
This first bit sets up the automatic interval transitions in
the main movie timeline
function nextImage()
mc_slide.mc_transition.play();
} // End of the function
function waitImage()
clearInterval(slideTimer);
var slideTimer = setInterval(nextImage, timer * 1000);
nextImage();
} // End of the function
function pauseSlide()
mc_slide.mc_quicktransition.gotoAndPlay(2);
} // End of the function
var timer = 8;
var pauseTime = 20;
var slideTimer = setInterval(nextImage, timer * 2000);
stop ();
the movieclip loaders that load each movie clip are embedded
with the transition animation.
this is the code in the embedded mc-it loads the 1st movie
clip and allows the user to manually jump to any of the other movie
clips.
emptyMC.loadMovie("frame1.swf");
var pageAddress = "about:blank";
btn1.onRelease = function ()
_parent.pauseSlide();
gotoAndStop(1);
btn2.onRelease = function ()
_parent.pauseSlide();
gotoAndStop(2);
btn3.onRelease = function ()
_parent.pauseSlide();
gotoAndStop(3);
btn4.onRelease = function ()
_parent.pauseSlide();
gotoAndStop(4);
stop();
I need to know how to put the code for the automation of the
slideshow pause until each movieclip has finished loading and also
at the same time disable the manual control of the movie clips
before they are fully loaded.

Automatic slideshow image transition

Hi All,
I have an imagecontainer on my site, in which I want to show
random images.
So far so good, but I want to animate those image
transitions.
I've tried to hide and show the image while a picture is
loaded, and link an effect to the show and hide, but it didn't work
proparly.
So, I tried using states. My imagecontainer has now 2 states.
And after a couple of seconds the states change.
All I do in the state change is:
<mx:setProperty target="{imageContainer}" name="source"
value="{imagesource}" />
where "{imagesource}" is a [Bindable] private var in the same
mxml file.
The first statechange works, but after that, returning to the
Base state ends up showing the first (original) image. Changing to
the second state again, shows again the second image.
Is there any way to nicely animate a automatic slideshow ?

Slideshow in GoLive

Daverj...
Is there a way to add transitions to your actions?
Also, for anyone...
Is it possible to insert an .exe into GoLive for slideshows? I have a very good program called Pic to .exe and it creates very nice shows. Plus I have Lightroom which also creates a slideshow.
These provide transitions and are smoother than GoLive's version.
Any help would be appreciated. Please contact me at [email protected] I'm not sure I can get back here. :)

Automatic Slideshow with Button Actions

I have a slideshow of images tweeneing in and out. I have buttons also where a user can control which image they view.
The slideshow is running automatically. I'm trying to figure out how to fade out whatever image is viewable and load the correct image once the button is clicked.
I have made the button work and stop the slideshow from running but I need to know how to fade out whatever image is viewable and then tween in the correct image.
HOpe that makes sense. I am not a programmer. ANy hint would be appreciated.
function OneClick (e:MouseEvent)
TweenLite.to(button, 1, {x:254, overwrite:false});
myTimelineImages.stop();
myTimelineButton.stop();

In order to work with tweens, necessary to import tween classes, so at the very top of your doc put the following:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
Then create a variable:
var fadeTween:Tween;
Then add this line to your picture showing function:
fadeTween = new Tween(whateverYourImageLoaderNameIs, "alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 1, 2, true);
The first argument is whatever you image loader name is.
The second is what you want to tween in quotes, in this case "alpha"
Starting value (0, invisible)
Ending value (1, visible)
How many milliseconds (2000, or 2 seconds)
Whether the milliseconds number should be read as seconds (true)

Automatic Slideshow in Keynote?

I am working on a speech presentation for an online class. The problem I had was, I couldn't record the slideshow with me speaking the entire 5 minutes because that was too difficult to not make any mistakes. SO, I recorded voice memos on my phone for each slide and put them into the slide. When you go to the slide, they automatically start playing. Great. But what if I want it to move to the next slide right after the audio is done playing?? How do I make the presentation "Automatic"? Please help! This is due today! Thanks!!

Nevermind! I figured it out!!! It was in "Inspector"!

Lightroom Slideshow to GoLive

Good morning everyone...
I have built a website in GoLive and want to add a slideshow with transitions (fades and such that the GoLive method does not provide).
Is there a procedure to create a slideshow in Lightroom and insert it into a frame in GoLive?
Thanks

Automatic Slideshow

I created, with a little help from a friend, this Flash
here..
I call it a slideshow but there are no controls on it for
managing when the pictures advance. It is automatic.
It does a continuous loop through a group of pictures.
I'm interested in finding tutorials or extensions to help me
review or make another one.
It has been a while since I made this one.
Perhaps there are some good extensions out there for using
Flash MX 2004.
Any help with this would be appreciated.

I'm new to flash, so I don't know how clean my slide show is
but...
I created a similar slide show that can be seen at
www.shoshoneweeds.com I have a "graphics in" and a "graphic out"
layer in which I've inserted a pictures in consecutive frames. Each
picture takes up about 45 frames during which time a "fade out"
transition is applied on the out layer, and a "fade in" transition
is applied on the "in" layer, adjust the speed on the fade to in
"slow at the end" and to fade out "slow at the start" at the end of
the "fade in" in the frame after the last frame that the graphic is
fading in put the same graphic on the layer fading out. Alternate
the graphics as one fades completely in on the fade in layer, it
will fade out on the fade out layer at the same time on the fade in
layer a new picture will be starting.

Automatic slideshow/movie creation from rolls

Hi All;
My concern is how to automatically create slideshow from my rolls. I'd like to select all my rolls and then create slideshows for each and finally export slideshows as movies named as roll.
Please tell me if I'm wrong. Please some ideas.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.5) CoreDuo

Hi Kris,
Click on the roll title, hit the slideshow icon
set up the slideshow the way you want.
When done, go to share>export and choose the Quicktime tab and choose your options then export to the desktop.
do this for each roll

Automatic Slideshow Creation?

Is there a way to take about 700 images from a wedding and have DVDSP divide up the slides into 99 slides and make the slideshows automatically?
It takes a while for me to go through and divide them in to the slideshows. I am just trying to speed up the process!
Any suggestions?
Kevin Hawkins

I normally import the images as assets, and then create slidehows and then drag the assets into the slideshows.
My question is, is there a way to have DVDSP automatically create the slideshows instead of me having to drag images into slideshows?

Automatic slideshow duration to match timeline length?

I set up a slideshow in the iMovie timeline of about 60 pictures, between which I had a fade out, fade in transition. I then dragged two songs to the time line and they seemed to fit the length of the slideshow automatically.
I decided to change one of the songs and now the timeline is about a minute longer so that the slideshow pictures end long before the music does.
Is there a way for iMovie to automatically resize the duration of each clip and transition to fill the length of the timeline? I don't know if I'll have the time to go through each clip and transition and change the duration of them all to equal the length of the songs. Can iMovie do this for me?
Any ideas?

Unlike iPhoto slideshows, iMovie has no "fit to music" command.
But it's not hard to do manually. Note that iMovie lets us set the playtime duration of a fistful of photos all at the same time. Do the math for a rough estimate of the duration needed for each slide, select all the slides, then apply that duration to all. If it's off by a few seconds, adjust them accordingly.
It helps to import the images as stills, not rendered clips, so their duration can be changed quickly. Turn OFF the Ken Burns checkbox while importing the images, so the duration of a group of stills can be changed almost instantly. After it's what you want, THEN apply transitions. (They too can be applied to multiple clips.)
Remember to take the playtime of the durations into account in your plans. And whatever padding you want at the start/end for titles, etcetera.
This topic shows how to set the slides to match the beat of the music. Some of what it describes applies to your task too:

Please tell me how to automatically play a sound file in a PDF slideshow?Da

I use PS CS3, LR2, and now I purchased Acrobat 9.1 Pro. My intent is to create an image based full screen automatic slideshow WITH SOUND. I have everything working well but I can't figure out how to get the sound file to simply play along with the images. I do not want the viewer to have to press anything to hear the sounds. The sound file should simply play along with the image(s). I would like to be able to time the sound file to the images as well.
I will appreciate any pointers you may have.
Thanks...

To do this reliably the document has to be in the list of the client applications list of trusted documents. You get this prompt when you attempt to play a sound. The other way is to actually set the Multimedia Trust (legacy) preference on each client for each type of Player application. While this might seem a bit of a task it's meant to protect the user.

Slideshow in CS

In GL CS, I'd like an automatic slideshow of nine images on my website (never done a slideshow before). Following GoLive CS Help for SlideShow and SlideShowAuto, I placed the first image. It then says:
"...enter a unique alphanumeric name in the More tab of the Image Inspector. Trigger the SlideShow action with a user-triggered or timeline-triggered event, or trigger the SlideShowAuto action with a user-triggered or timeline-triggered event, or with a browser-triggered event set to OnLoad. Choose Action > Multimedia > SlideShow or SlideShowAuto. From the Base Image menu, choose the starting image. For # of Images, enter the total number of images in the slide show."
I don't see where to enter an alphanumeric name in the More tab, nor do I see where to trigger an event. I also don't know where to find Choose Action >, etc, or where the Base Image menu is.
Would appreciate some help!

Ok, I got things going pretty well. http://www.greenmountainpetportraits.com/index.html
The only thing I'd like to have is an automatically triggered event when the page appears, not a user one. It looks like that can happen where the instruction is the browser-triggered event set to OnLoad. How is that done?

Quicktime objects not working on GoLive

I have a GoLive CS2 Student Version. My Quicktime Objects are not working. I tried to drag the track objects to the page or to layer and no avail.
Can you help me? I spent a whole day to finally figure out the Quicktime objects not working.

Thank you for the support John,
To explain what I am doing in more detail: I am basically making an image gallery with thumbnail buttons of each image. When the user enters this page I want to have the automatic slideshow of a few images. Then the user have the option to click on the buttons to see the images. I was able to make a slideshow in GoLive. But the transition is abrupt. According to the GoLive Help Menu there is a way to make the trasnition smoother using the timeline editor, but it is too difficult to follow up for me. So I downloaded another program called SWFn'Slide which was very easy to make the smooth transitional slideshow. Now I am trying to insert the SWF file into my page. But I can't figure out how to do it. In my understanding, I must place a layer on the page and on that layer I must place the SWF track from the Quicktime Objects tab. But I cannot drag any of the Quicktime Objects tools into the page. Again I am having a problem inserting a SWF file into the page.

How to create a SlideShow in GoLiveCS2 using Actions

Good day to all,
I was wondering if anyone has an idea how to make a photo slideshow in GoLive CS2 using the Actions? I have no experience in JavaScript, Actionscript and am not a programmer. Any information would be highly appreciated.
I know how to create remote rollovers using Actions but not Slideshows.
Please advise
Regards,
Alek

I suggest hopping over to this address:
http://www.mindpalette.com/actions/index.php
and downloading the SlideShow Kit Action. It has more than you probably need, but should do the trick. Make sure to read the documentation, it explains how to use it.
