Flash Slide Show Presentation Question

I have created a slide show presentation in Flash format. On
some of my slides, I have animations that run when the slide first
loads. However, as I do not want the animation to continue looping
preventing the viewer from reading the slide, I used actionscript
to place a stop action at the end of the slide animation.
The problem is that if the user uses the previous button in
the slide show to return to the slide the animation does not run.
It will only run again if the entire slide show is restarted. Is
there a simple way to fix this?
Thanks

The steps are fairly simple. I create a listener ,a loader
and an empty movie clip to load the images into. I write a
listener_mc.onLoadInit function then I use the loader_mc.loadClip
to load the images into the empty movieclip. When the loading is
complete the onLoadInit function gets called and you can resize and
center your images.

Navigating Flash Slide Show Presentation??

Hello,
I have an .SWF file which I created using the Flash Slide
Presentation document type. It consists of a number of screens. I
need to load this .SWF file into another Flash movie and control it
with actionscript, but I do not know the code. Could someone please
give me a hint at the code needed for simply getting this movie to
jump from one slide/screen to another? Or point me to a good
tutorial?
Thanks in advance.

was afraid of that... thanks you :-)

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.

How to mimic a two-projector slide-show presentation?

This may not be the best place to post this question. Please let me know if there is an alternative forum.
I want to present a few hundred 1920 x 1080 visual "segments" (S1, S2 ...) that cross-fade into each other at the press of a button. No audio is involved except the presenter's voice. A presentation might run like this:
S1 - Still. (Press button to dissolve to next segment)
S2 - Still with preset zoom-in. (Press button to dissolve to next segment, even if zoom not finished)
S3 - Still with pan. (Press button to dissolve to next segment, even if pan not finished)
S4 - Short video. (Press button…)
S5 - Still. (Press button…)
The collection of segments would be generated by Premiere (or other program). However, I would prefer NOT to use a computer for the presentation, but rather, a BluRay player connected to a digital projector via a HDMI cable. The data does not have to be in BluRay format. It may, for example, be any type of file readable by the player, and stored on a CD, DVD, USB stick, or SDHX card. The idea is to insert the media with the relevant file on it (or files), press PLAY, and use one of the remote control buttons to move forward to the next segment.
In case you haven't got my drift: it's similar to an old fashioned two-projector slide-show presentation, but fully digital and some of the images move.
Very simple concept, but how can I achieve the desired result? Almost all image-editing programs could assemble the segments (even iPhoto, for example), but how do I achieve the smooth cross-fading and the move-to-next-segment functions? If I was writing a flowchart for what I want, it would be:
1. Complete the segment currently showing, then freeze image and wait for press of NEXT SEGMENT button.
2. If NEXT SEGMENT button is pressed before the end of segment, cross-fade to next segment.
3. Loop to 1.
Any suggestions most appreciated.

I would look into ProShow Producer. It is designed to do much of what you want.
Encore has a limited SlideShow feature, that does allow for manual advance, but the other aspects, like the Zoom will probably not be what you want. You might give it a try, just to test. One limitation is that one can only have 99 slides per SlideShow, but then can have 99 SlideShows, IIRC.
Good luck,
Hunt

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Full Screen Photos In Slide Show & Other Questions

Hi - I'm using Premiere Elements 4. I have a few questions since I'm new to using the program. First of all, how do I get the photos to take up the whole screen (instead of showing a black border) when they are played back? They were taken on a 7.2 megapixel camera at the maximum quality setting. Also, the resolution is bad when it's played back but fine when you see the preview of the photos in the program. I've seen other posts about needing to change the resolution but I was wondering if I got the photos to play full screen if that might fix my problem because I can play the photos as a slide show in the Windows Photo Gallery Program and the resolution is perfect and the photos take up the whole screen.
Secondly, how do I delete a menu from the Disc Menus Section? Also, how would I delete the "Scene Selection" button from the menu screen that I want to keep? I want to be able to have a menu with just a "play all" button.
Thanks for your help.

The only way to remove Scene Menu button from Disc Menus is to physically remove it from the template by editing it (They're PSD files) in Photoshop Elements.
As for photos, DO NOT use photos from that 7.2 megapixel camera at full resolution, niagara. It's a sure recipe for disaster. RAther, per the FAQs at the top of this forum, rez those photos all down to no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size.
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bb8822c
That done, you can get your photos to fill your screen one of two ways:
a) Leave the Default to Frame Size option checked in your preferences. The only case in which this won't work is if you're using 4:3 photos in a 16:9 widescreen project.
b) If this is the case, go to Edit/Preferences and uncheck Default to Frame Size BEFORE you import that photos into your project. (It won't work if you do it after.) Then, after placing each photo on your timeline, right-click on each, select Show Properties and, in Properties, open Motion and set Scale to 85%. Note that, because your photos and the widescreen have different aspect ratios, you will lose some of the vertical off the tops and bottoms of your photos.
There are many more ways to do it -- but it all depends on what you're trying to accomplish.
