Fireworks Slideshow

After trying multiple photo albums from the web, I found the
slideshow generator in FW to be the best option for my needs.
I want to place the slideshow on my website, so I EXPORT the
album to my site in DREAMWEAVER. But I noted when I generate the
slideshow it creates a index.html which overwrites the original
index.html in my site folder. Can anyone please inform on how to
work around this. Also, if I generate several slideshows for my
site, how can I name them so my site can distinguish the different
albums. New to this, so any advice on a streamlined workflow
appreciated.

Genrate your slideshows to a sub folder in your dreamweaver
site.
As for the 'several slideshows...' scenerio, why not just you
one slide show, with different Albums. It's less overhead, compact
and easier to manage. To add new albums just click the + to the
upper right and set properties for that album, and then repeat.
Albums in this case is equivlenet to 'Categories' you typically see
amoung other slideshows out there.

  • How do I place a Fireworks slideshow onto my webpage?

    I want to place a fireworks slideshow into a table on my webpage but I have no idea how to do so. I don't want any thumbnails or any album titles to show up, just a rotation of the pictures I created within fireworks.
    One thing to note is that my site is also not online at this point and I'm currently developing in an offline working folder. I'm not sure if that will affect the ability to play flash.
    If there is no way to effectively upload a fireworks slideshow onto DW is there another way to add a rotating pictures slideshow without having to spend money on an application or additional program?
    Thanks in advance for the responses.

    Take a look at quite a few slideshow options here:
    http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/resources/57-free-image-gallery-slideshow-and-ligh tbox-solutions/
    All use jquery - which is quite easy to implement and you can create everything locally (on your own machine) and then upload everything to your server when done

  • Embeding fireworks slideshow

    I am able to create a fireworks slideshow and view it fine
    via the index html page and also when I open the flash player from
    the slideshow file in adobe flash but when using the insert flash
    command in dreamweaver the player displays but no photos.
    Images work fine in the dreamweaver slideshow application but
    i want the flexibility of the fireworks show.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Yes but, although all the thumbs are there only one, the
    second is showing the main image.
    Yes, so there is obviously something different
    about the Manufacturing album, and something different about the
    second image. What?
    quote:
    I would have thought that would have provided you with enough
    info to pin point the problem though?
    Well, no. I can't see your code; I can't see
    your file structure; I can't tell what going on. I don't know why
    the one that works does, nor why the rest don't. I don't use the
    slideshow, so I'm not familiar with it. I do know that if you
    reference a file by the wrong name, it won't show on a Web page.
    That's a common symptom, so I'm hypothesizing that your problem is
    file naming. It may be something else. But until you can post the
    folder and file names like I asked, I don't have the info I need to
    tell.
    quote:
    I managed to get it to work ok here

    Uh huh. And your album names don't have spaces
    in them and it looks like you have image names below the large
    images when they display and they all have single character
    strings, too? No spaces and the slideshow works?
    I still think the problem may be that you have some spaces
    someplace. Look at your folder and file names carefully to make
    sure you have no spaces in them. Rebuild your slide show from
    scratch. Delete all the slide show files and folders off your
    server, then upload the new ones.

  • Import Fireworks slideshow to Dreamweaver page

    Hi,
    I created a photo gallery (slideshow) in Fireworks CS4 and everything is working smoothly. Now I want to add this slideshow to my Dreamweaver page BUT I am new to this and I don't know how to include it.
    I noticed that depending on the type of fireworks player it creates different files (html, swf). I used the FW slideshow template: Player - Black (Flash Plug In not required) and it created an index.html file.
    How can I add the index.html page to my website template? I want for it to show after my navigation bar etc.. I don't want it in a seperate file but include it to my PhotoGallery.html page.
    I also tried different players and I can't get for it to load. SWF files do not play when i check it in LiveView.
    If someone can help me with this I would appreciate it. I have been struggling for a day now and I can't get it to work with any type of player.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your reply. I did try the copy and pasting before contacting this forum and it doesn't work.
    I would appreciate if someone had a tutorial on this and thanks for asking someone to post this.
    I'm new to the Adobe world and I'm liking it! There are so many features in the software that I just want to make sure that I learn the proper way to incorporate the 'objects'.
    In the mean time what I have done is created an iframe.
    <iframe src="otherpage.html"/>
    This is working for now but I'm sure there is a better way!!

  • How to add fireworks slideshow to dreamweaver cs4?

    I have created a slideshow in fireworks and saved it to my root directory and linked it to a div within a webpage on www.yssinc.net.  The gallery appears but without any of the images.  Help! I have seen other posts with this problem but have not seen a solution.
    Thanks in advance.
    Sharon

    So a plain html page, not a child page of the template?
    From your original post you say that you get a 'template error message'.
    Are you trying to insert it into an editable region declared in the master template?   You can't try and place code into a child page, if it hasn't been prepared to take any code unless it's into a defined editable area.
    If it's a navbar of some sort, it should go into the master template page, so that it can be shared across all the pages created form the template.
    If I'm way off base - sorry  :-)
    You may want to upload the pages you are having problems with a provide a link... better to see the code in action if at all possible.

    Have you reviewed the Fireworks help files on the subject?
    In a nutshell:
    • Export the slideshow to a specific folder (your site's
    local root
    folder or a sub folder within it.
    From there, you can access the generated html page(s) from
    within
    Dreamweaver.
    If this is not the issue, you will need to be more specific
    on the
    problems you are experiencing.

  • How do I insert Fireworks Slideshow (non flash) into Dreamweaver?

    I have been trying to import a slideshow from flash that I created from the built in template. I used the player that does not require a flash plug in and I cannot figure out how to insert it into my webpage in Dreamweaver. When I post the code directly it says that I have to enable java script?  I am new to dreamweaver/fireworks and coding. I know that it should be simple, but I have not been able to figure it out.  Thank you for any help you can offer!

    I don't use that function, but here's a list of articles that may prove useful:

    You could also look at using jquery, very simple to use and help docs come with most of the apps.
    Lots of goodies here:

  • Fireworks Slideshow (swf) Not working well when loaded into flash

    Hi guys,
    I made a slideshow recently in FW and exported as swf. Created a new project in flash cs4 and loaded
    the slide show as an external swf.
    When i test my project, the slideshow loads well, but there is no slideshow! i.e. the pictures doesnt change.
    And also when i click the thumbnails, only changes for the first picture, then stays static.
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    here is my code:
    import fl.containers.UILoader;
    var uiLoader:UILoader = new UILoader();
    uiLoader.source = "player_black.swf";
    uiLoader.move(384, 160);
    uiLoader.scaleContent = false;
    addChild(uiLoader);

    Yes.
    it returned AVM1 . So I gess FW  generated an AS2.
    Is it possible to set FW to export swf in AS3?
    or the only solution is to redo all my project into as2?
    The latest would be a painstaking job, once i dont know as2 , only intermediate as3.
    appreciate your help,
    Mike

  • Slideshows duplicating in dreamweaver

    I'm new to dreamweaver and I'm having a problem with my fireworks slideshows. I'm building a wesite and inserting slideshows into dreamweaver from fireworks. I can make the first slideshow no problem. Goes onto website fine and looks good, but when I make a new slideshow and try to put it on another page in my website, it's duplicating the oigional slideshow. I have tried putting the new slideshow in different folder, changing the names of the files, anything i can think of. When i preview the 2nd slideshow in dreamweaver it plays as it's supposed to, with the correct pictures, but when I go to my website it shows the pictures from the 1st slideshow. Needless to say I am dumfounded, any help at all will be greatley appreciated.

  • Slideshow and Tethering

    I'm having trouble with my tethered slideshow.
    In lightroom 4, you could use the Use All Filmstrip Photos feature with a slideshow so that new photos would automatically be added.
    However, with the same settings in Lightroom 5 new photos wont be added while a slideshow is running.
    As soon as the slideshow is done, you can see the new photos in filmstrip which shouldve been added.
    I have tried every combination i can think of settings wise, random order, repeat etc.
    Am I missing something here?

  • Possible code conflict?

    I have a large tabbed panels widget loading content from
    external html files.
    In one view, I have a page displaying images that used the
    Fireworks Slide Show Creator to create a spry slideshow.
    In another view, I have a Spry Gallery. Both use xml files
    and the SpryData.js to run.
    I believe there could be a conflict, though I'm not sure.
    When I view locally one works and the other does not. When I push
    the file view remote, nothing works.
    Does anyone know the answer to this, or maybe has been able
    to get this to work?

    I noticed the two SpryData files (one from the FW slideshow
    and the other from the Gallery demo) are of the same release though
    were version v35 ans v36. (I believe I'm using the v36 for both
    now)
    The url is........
    http://jenqdesign.com/v4/default.html#
    (Please pardon the mess, I'm working on function right now.)
    The Galllery version is under the "interactive" tab and the
    Fireworks slideshow is under the art tab.)

  • Contribute to edit Slide Show?

    What is the best way to allow a client to easily modify the
    contents of a slideshow from within Contribute?
    I would like my client to be able to add his new work to his
    slideshow without having to do a lot of coding. Yes, he could
    probably modify the Fireworks slideshow xml after he resizes his
    images, and uploads them, can this be done within contribute?
    Thanks
    S

    When you have an XML option you could use the Publish file
    from my computer option under >File in teh main menu and update
    the XML using:
    You cannot edit the .xml files directly in Contribute. What
    you can do is:
    1. in the main menu go to >Edit>Preferences
    2. go to 'File Editors'
    3. select .xml
    4. add the application (f.i. notepad.exe) and make it
    'primary'
    Next you will have to adjust the users and roles settings:
    1. in the main menu go to >Edit>Administer websites and
    choose your website
    2. choose your role and click Edit Role Settings-button,
    3. go to Editing and check 'Allow users to edit source code
    in external application'.
    To edit the xml file:
    1. connect to your website
    2. click the Choose button on the right of the address bar
    3. browse to the xml file you want to edit
    4. when the xml file is open Contribute will tell you (This
    file cannot be displayed in the Contribute web browser.
    You may be able to edit this type of file with another
    application. Edit your Contribute preferences to specify an
    application.)
    5. normally you would now go to the main menu click
    >File>Actions>Edit source code in external application,
    BUT you don't, you click >File>Actions>Edit Page or the
    'Edit-button' in the main screen
    6. notepad will open the file, you can edit the file now,
    save the file in notepad and then publish the file using
    Contribute.

  • Change slideshow size in Fireworks

    hi every body
    i have created an slideshow with Fireworks, and i have 2
    questions:
    1: how can i change the dimention of slide show box? it is
    too small for me.
    2: when i click on a photo it will be opened in another
    window but it is still small, how can i change the dimention of the
    photos.( i should mention that the photos i use are big, 2000x1800
    px but Fireworks ridimention them authomatically!!!!
    i tryed to go to Export Option to chang Weith anf heith but
    it is not activated so i can't change it!!!!
    thank you

    You need to select the Album for the Export options to be
    editable. Once you modify those settings the box will be big
    enough.
    Hope it helps.
