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.

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 ?

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"!

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

>I would llike to add as slideshow that opens up automatically when the user
>gets to the page and also,that loops indefinately.
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.
http://actions.golivetutor.com/
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.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2677846#2677846
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.
http://www.redshift.com/~lorac/sdy-slide.html
another example... sorta a fun page.
http://www.redshift.com/~lorac/smoking.html
I also use Mindpallet MultiPreload action to preload the images in the browser cache.

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.

Pressing S doesn't start or stop automatic slide show in PowerPoint 2008

I have an automatic slide show created in PowerPoint 2008 which runs fine on PowerPoint 12.2.3 on a Mac running OS 10.5.8, but when running the same version of PowerPoint on 10.6.2, pressing the S and equal keys do not stop and start the presentation. The only thing that stops the automatic slideshow is control-mouse-click (which of course brings up the sub-menu). Has any one else experienced this?

Hi Glo H,
I tried that and it didn't fix the problem...the music still starts a bit choppy (part way into the music) at the tail end of the 1st slide/beginning of second. I don't know if I mentioned earlier, that the music, when it does come in, is at the point it should be, i.e. like it started with the first slide, just not coming out of the speakers...if that makes any sense
Thanks,
Rob

How to pause Flash MX Pro slideshow

I've created a slideshow in MX Pro with buttons to scroll
forwards & backwards through the slides.
The client now wants the slideshow to play automatically.
OK, I've done that, and have also kept the buttons so users
can rewind or fast-forward if they choose.
However...
I can't figure out how to pause the
automatic slideshow (using a button) ?
Also, how do you increase the default
time between slides?
I've used transitions between slides, but it would be nice to
allow each slide to be visible for longer.
Any help much appreciated...

Thanks Mark. I'm afraid your suggerstions don't work.
quote:
a slide show by default waits for a user to press the left or
right arrow buttons, unless you just created a slideshow on the
timeline and did not use the Flash Slideshow File.
I created a slideshow (for use as an animated banner for a
website) using a slide presentation template, with 3 screens:
Screen 1 - background images, website navigation buttons,
slideshow forward/backward buttons.
Screen 2 - animated text.
Screen 3 - contains 8 nested screens which form the
slideshow.
Final frame of screen 2 (once text animation has completed)
has "go to next screen" behaviour that allows slideshow to play
automatically. I can also use the buttons to move forward/backward.
quote:
If you want to add more time or increase the duration in
which the content stays on the stage, then just add frames.
I added an extra 5 seconds worth of frames to the timeline
for the 1st nested screen... slideshow playback is NOT delayed at
all.
quote:
stop the timeline with a button.
I added a STOP button with appropriate Action Script. It does
NOT stop the slideshow.
Any more ideas?

Help with Photo Slideshow

I would like to create a photoslide show with Premiere Elements 4. I did once in the original version many years ago, but I am having trouble find the best way to create. Does anyone know a good tutorial on how to do this. I know how to import the media, but had trouble creating transitions for the photos without having to create one between each photo. I also want to import music. Rather than set the time of the show, I would like Premiere to choose the photo length based on the time of the music in the show.
Any assistance, or if someone could point me in the right direction, would be great.
Thanks for your assistance.

I have an article on creating slideshows using both Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements, MD. It's available in the members are at Muvipix.com.
The basics are that you (a) want to make sure your photos are no larger than 1000x750 pixels. This gives you best performance with highest photo quality. And (b) you import the photos into either program and either simply assemble the stills on your timeline or use the automatic Slideshow Creator. To use Create Slideshow in Premiere Elements, gather all the photos in the project media panel, right-click and select Create Slideshow.
My article discusses in greater detail all of the options and which might be the best methods and techniques.
http://www.muvipix.com, a site set up by a number of experienced Premeiere Elements users with some support from Adobe, offers one of the most friendly, helpful forums on the web and includes a large number of complimentary products including tutorials, tips, DVD templates, stock footage, motion backgrounds and sound effects.

After effects films automatic build from php databank

hello,
do everyone have a idea to make many films automaticly from an folder with many article-pictures and a text from php databank?!
for example,
i have many hundreds article and article-pictures and i would have for youtube for everyone of the article a single film in form of a diashow.
one film have i build with after effects, but how can i now change the pictures and text automaticly to make films
for the other articles?!
thanks for your answers
greets montihh

You can write a script or search for one that automates slideshows from an image foler. You can also write a script or search for one that turns comma delimited text files into text layers. I use a script to create lower 1/3's .
You can't directly go from a PHP page to text or image layers in After Effects, but you can go, very easily with the right script, from a file folder full of stills to and a text file with your copy to an animated slide show with titles. I'm not sure that it would be any more interesting than a slideshow made with iPhoto or any of the web based or Windows versions of auto slide show creation tools.

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?
