Background changing/slide show

I am developing a new site (and am new to Flash) and am
wondering if:
1) It is a resource or time hog to have a web background that
rotates through a series of pictures
2) What is the best way to rotate through (i.e. put a
different picture on different key frames?)
3) What is the best format of the picture to be in? jpeg?
Thanks for any input.

  • Changing black background on slide show

    does anyone know how to change the background on the iWeb slide shows so that the black background is not visible and there is no "picture reflection"? I would prefer the slide show to have the whole picture with no background.

    The "Previous to iWeb '08" does not have the option to change the Slideshow background or reflections; it would be necessary to upgrade to iWeb 2.x in iLife'08.

  • Changing Slide Show Background Colour

    Being a newbie to this forum, I am not sure if this has been asked before, if so I apologise in advance.
    I have set my site up using the black background as it is a photography related site and the black lends itself well to the photographs.
    Is there a way of changing the parameters of the slide show to change the background colour from white to black ?
    Any help appreciated.

  • Using downloaded songs for slide show background music

    Maybe I am naive, but I just joined iTunes and downloaded some music to use as background for slide shows of family pics. I am using Microsoft Plus! to put the slide shows together. The iTunes songs downloaded in MPEG-4 and the Plus! code will only recognize MP3. I am also concerned that the copyright protection will make the songs not useable for the slide show compilations. Any ideas? Thanks!

    In iTUnes you can burn the song to CD then reimport it as a MP3. Goto edit>preferences>advanced tab>Import sub tab, and set it from "AAC" to "MP3" then hit OK
    Now burn the songs to CD in itunes. Put the CD back in and hit the "Import" button in the top right corner of itunes

  • Changing sountrcaks within a slide show?

    Can I change the background soundtrack at a point within a slide show? Tried exporting to iMovie a Quicktime movie to add two soundtracks, but iMovie would not inport.

    There are several threads that deal with this issue, but here is the basic info:
    1) You cannot change a "soundtrack" within a slideshow.
    2) You can create a series of independent slideshows, each with its own soundtrack. Then you can sequence each to the next via a Hyperlink. However ...
    3) Any "synchronization" of the Builds and Transitions you may have Recorded with the soundtrack will NOT work if the slideshow is played as a Hyperlink. The soundtrack will play when the slideshow launches, but you will have to trigger the Builds and Transitions manually.
    4) All bets are off if you try to export any of this to another format, such as QuickTime, PowerPoint, iMovie, etc.
    good luck

  • Full screen background slide show

    Trying to create a full screen background slideshow (workarround).
    But when I create a widget slideshow 1920px pinned to the background everything is working fine until a change some settings.
    Like No counter. Muse then adapt the size of the widget to far more smaller?
    More people this problem?

  • I created a slide show in imovie for my daughters 21st with voice overs from friends and family which was all working fine but now the voice recordings are not playing at all.  Obviously some setting has changed but I can't find which one.

  • Is there a way to create a rotating slide show that changes once every 24 hours?

    Is there a way to create a rotating slide show that changes once every 24 hours?

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Then try deleting the library again.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    I am on an iPad 2, 32gb, wifi...
    Thank you

    My Photos app works the same on iOS 5 as it did on iOS 4 i.e. I can have a different track for each album. When I select a track for a photo album I then start the slideshow so that it shows the first couple of photos with the track playing - I'm not sure it's necessary to start the slideshow but I always do and it remembers that track for that album.

  • How can I change the order of the photos in a slide show I have created on my iPad mini?

    How can I change the order of the photos I have selected in a slide show on my iPad Mini?

    Currently, the order in which the phone numbers appear (in a contact) is dependent on the sequence to which you enter them. There is no way to change that order other than re-entering them in the desired order.

  • How can I change the order of photos in iPhoto so I can create the slide show I want?

    How to change the order of photos in iPhoto on my iPad, so I can create the slide show I want.

    Here's what I did to generate a slide show with Ken Burns effect on the iPad...with the exact same slide order I created on the iMac.  I have iOS 5.5 and iPhoto App on New iPad, and iPhoto 11 on iMac.
    In iPhoto for the Mac, create a new Album and give it the name of your Slide Show. Drag or import the photos you want into the album.  Rearrange the order of the album photos as desired. Do this by selecting Manual Sort under View/Sort Photos or simply start dragging thumbnails to the places you want them (the sort method will automatically change to Manual). 
    When you have the order you want, shut down iPhoto on the Mac to make sure iPhoto's database gets updated with the new photos and their order. 
    Restart iPhoto and go to File/Export on the top menu.  Select File Export at the top left of the Export window. Set JPEG quality to Max, Size to Full Size, and File Name to Album Name and Number.  Set Subfolder Format to None.
    Click Export to bring up what looks like the Finder.  Create an empty folder on your hard drive under Pictures and give it the name of your slide show. Click on the new folder and then click OK at the bottom right of the Finder-like window.  The new folder will contain JPEG files with file names in the form, Album Name - 001.jpeg, Album Name - 002.jpeg, etc.  There will also be an iPOD Photo Cache folder.  Click at the top of the Name column to order files by file name.  001 will be your first slide, 002 your second, etc.
    Now start up iTunes. You are going to force the Mac to sync these new photos with the iPad.  Click on your iPad device in the list at the left.  Now click on the Photo button at top right. Make sure the Sync Photos check box at top is checked, then select Choose Folder... from the list at right.  In the Finder-like window that opens, select the folder where your slides are.  Make sure that All Folders is checked, then select Open at the bottom right.
    Now click Sync at bottom right.  The slides will be copied to your iPad.  Both the Photos app and the iPhoto app will properly handle the slide order, and the Ken Burns effect is available using the iPhoto app.
    I ran across this problem in preparing a Ken Burns slide show for a wedding.  Drove me nuts for a week why the order changes when syncing an iPhoto album from iMac to iPad.  But this worked and gave me several options.  I plan to use the digital AV adapter for iPad and show slides on a large screen TV using HDMI connection from iPad to TV.  TV essentially acts as an external monitor for the iPad.
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I change the font size and placement of photo descriptions in an  iPhoto slide show?

    With an iPhoto slide show, how do I change the font size for titles and descriptions and position the text when preparing a slide show?

    to change the pixels crop to 100x100 and export with maximum dimension of 100 - see the user tip on exporting foo details on Export options - Exporting From iPhoto
    As to DPI - digital photos have no DPI since DPI is Dots Per Inch and digital photos have no inches hence no DPI - when you print a photo then DPI is a mathematical calculation - dots divided by inches - it is not a setting
    Print a 480 pixel photos as a 1" square and the print it 480 DPI (480 / 1 = 480) and print the 100 pixel image as a 1" square it will be 100 DPI (100 / 1 = 100) - print a 480 pixel photo as a 4.8 inch square and it is 100 dpi (480 / 4.8 = 100) - just a calculation - not a setting

  • 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.

  • In IMovie 11 9.04 my background music loses time when I transfer it to the slide show.  How do I correct that?

    I have a slide show project which runs about 7:10 minutes.  I want to use background music that consists of 2 songs.  The first song is 3:11 minutes and the second song is 4:51 minutes.  Even when I add transitions and more images, the second song loses duration the moment I transfer it to the slide show.  HOw do I adjust that?
    Thank you.

    Dreamweaver has no built-in provision for this.  But you will find jQuery plugins that can do it.
