How Do I Create A Flash Slideshow?

Using DW8, I want to embed four slide shows on the homepage
of a site I'm working on. I have the images but I don't know how to
create the presentation. Do I need to open up Flash (yikes!!!) or
is there a simpler solution? I know this is got to be easy.

have
found....

How do you create a flash in game popup on the same frame?

How do you create a flash in game popup on the same frame?
I need to make a popup in flash on the same frame. Basiclly like you reach the frame and randomly (I know how to do random stuff) a popup might appear saying like you got a prize; and I want the stuff in the back to stay the same.
Please help me!
Thankx in advance.

Whatever frame you intend to make this movieclip appear in, you first set it to be invisible using...
popupName._visible = false; // popupName is whatever instance name you use
And for whatever random code you use to trigger it to appear you just set the _visible property to be true...
popupName._visible = true;

How can I get a Flash Slideshow to show in a browser?

Running Mac Leopard, CS3. Created a simple Flash slideshow using the Modern Photo Slideshow Template. Placed into DW page as dynamic Flash element. Slideshow is 2 photos, and uses manual buttons only. When viewed in DW preview only the first frame shows and buttons don't work (when viewed in Flash preview, it works as expected). When viewed in browser, nothing shows (although the space is visible), unless I turn off Javascript in the browser; then the first frame shows but nothing else works.
I've tried this with 4 different browsers and DW, and all work the same way. What am I missing? Any help appreciated.
<script type="text/javascript">

</object>

If turning off the javascript makes the file at least appear, then that part of the problem likely means the AC_RunActiveContent.js file is not where it needs to be (if it is not coded directly into the html page). In the head of your html page should be some indication of where that file needs to be (if it is not coded into the head section directly). Turning off javascript is forcing the <noscript> section to load the file.
As for nothing working anyways when you view it in a web page, it may be because of the location of the file. Your code indicates that the swf is located in a folder named photos. If that swf loads the images dynamically from that same folder, then the problem arises when you load the swf into a file in a different folder. Once the swf is planted into a file in a different folder, that folder becomes its frame of reference for loading content dynamically. So if the swf originally loaded files using targets like...image1.jpg, image2.jpg, etc.... when it is placed into parent folder's file, it needs to target them as if it actually lives in that folder using... photos/image1.jpeg, photos/image2.jpg, etc...

How do I create a flashing light when thunder rolls using Motion?

I'll like to create a flash of light from outside a window in a scary scene when the lightning and thunder rolls. Does anyone know how to do this in motion? I have motion 3
thanks

the question is clear but may not be what you're really asking. You cannot place a light source outside the window unless you build the scene in Motion's 3D space. You have an interior shot, you need lightning to appear to be flashing outside the window. That would not illuminate the entire scene, necessarily, but it might cast a hard window shape onto the floor or the wall. Draw a mask shaped like the window, with the curtains and mullions, and distort it in perspective and place it on the surface.Illuminating it can be done many ways and I'll leave you to discover them. However, remember that lightning is an instantaneous discharge, like a photo flash, not a light bulb. And yet the convention for film and stage lightning is more like the ramping up and down of an incandescent lamp. Horror movies tend to use only one or two frames of lightning flash, accompanied with a cut to a closeup, to illuminate the threat in a scene and then a cut to a reaction shot of the protagonist.

How do I create a DVD slideshow

Hello! I would like to create a DVD slideshow with pictures from over the year. I tried opening IDVD but I got an alrert message saying I wouldn't be able to burn my slideshow to a DVD on my system. Is there a way to use IPhoto for this project?
My friend created one in 5 minutes using a program on Vista Windows. I don't know why I am having a such a hard time with this. I thought Mac was supposed to be easy for this type of thing. I hope you can help me! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your system configuration with us. You are more than up to speed on your apple laptop. There really shouldn't be any issues here.
But I guess that's why we have these forums, right?
There is a difference between making a slideshow for iDvd as opposed to sending it over the internet. The latter will normally deal in significantly reduced file sizes.
To start with your question about emailing images or rather slideshows.... I'm not at all surprised your mac is saying it's too large to email. Sending high res images over the internet will slow downloads of said image/s on the receiving end to a crawl. Unless you have G-Mail, most standard e-mail accounts will max out at about 10 MB, not to mention bandwidth limitations. That's not a whole lot of working room when sending video (as in a QT movie) or slideshows of any significant length nor high quality images. You must take every effort to keep the slideshow very short and sweet. A few images, moderately sized tends to work rather well over the internet depending on the type of connection. Hopefully you have high speed cable or DSL (because that's what it will take unless unless the person receiving the email is into waiting a few hours for a typical 56K modem).
I believe iPhoto allows you to make such a slideshow (targeted specifically for emails) and to vary its size when actually sending the email. There's an option on the bottom lower right of the email you are composing to send it as a small file size, medium, or Actual size. Actual sizes will slow things down a bit. You may also want to post this very same question to the iPhoto Forum or iWeb (or both) for more detailed info.
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

How to load and play Flash Slideshow or banner on CS5 Flash player 10.1

The Flash Player 10.1 supports CS5, so the flash slideshow or flash banner designed by CS3 or CS4 can not be loaded or played normally.
To load your flash slideshow into CS5 Flash Player 10.1 or future version, you need to get a Flash Slideshow tool that supports CS Flash Player 10.1.
With such a Flash Slideshow tool ( http://flash.dvd-photo-slideshow.com/demoalbums01.php ) , you can load your flash slideshow into Dreamweaver CS5 and upload it to web directory. After you upload it to internet, it will play well on the CS5 Flash Player 10.1.
Also, if the Flash Slideshow tool will not run normally on your computer if it can not support CS5. To Choose a good Flash Slideshow Software for yourself, you should have a try it on your computer. And you also need to install the CS5 Flash Player 10.1 on your PC at first.

In addition I also can not get html5 video to play in the adobe air app. Would this issue be tied to the above?

How do you create a DVD slideshow in Lightroom 4?

How do you create a DVD in Lihgtroom 4?

I'm not sure what you mean by Developer Profile, but you can create a provisioning profile in Xcode 4 from the Organizer. Click the Organizer button in the project window toolbar. Click the Devices button at the top of the Organizer. Select Provisioning Profiles from the left side of the Organizer.
If you need to create something other than a provisioning profile, you may need to go to Apple's iOS developer center, sign in, and create what you need from there.

How can I create a flash picture slideshow for 3 images

Hi. I am wondering if anybody can tell me how to create a picture PUSH. I have three images that I wish to work with. By pushing I mean having an image come in from the left (or right) and place itself on top of the other (or pushing the other out of view). Like a slide show of three images scrolling along but one stops for a brief period before the other image comes into view.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

How do I create a scrolling slideshow in iMovie?

So I know how to make a basic slideshow in iMovie, but I'd like to create a "scrolling/sliding" slideshow (see link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXit8kxCCTg). That video uses videos, however, I'm using still pictures. The pictures can all just be side by side too, they don't have to stack like one on top of the other (I'll edit all my photos before hand to make them the same height). I'm using iMovie '11. I'll probably have 150-300 pictures all together. I'd also love to add a timeline to the bottom of the pictures to scroll with the pictures...should I just add that in to each individual picture before hand, and then put it all into iMovie, or can I do it all in iMovie? Also, towards the end of that youtube video, it all starts scrolling backwards....is there a way to do this???
Basically, I'd like to create a scrolling picture timeline with continuous text scrolling across the bottom that I can also play in reverse. Is this even possible in iMovie? Any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated. This is time sensitive. I really need to know how to do this by Friday. THANKS!!!!!

I agree with John that you could do this in Final Cut Pro X and Motion, but there is probably a plugin that you can purchase that would do the hard work in Motion for you.
I think it might be technically possible to do this in Motion and export out in a file that iMovie can import, but in the video example, there is a lot more going on such as multicam syncing that would require Final Cut Pro X. Motion's strength is not to use it as a video editor. It is best used as a way to create a special effect that you can then use in a FCPX project. (just my opinion)
Here are some example of FCPX plugins. There are hundreds more.

How can I create a flash USB RT boot device?

Hi. I have a PXI 8174 controller and I know it's not supposed to run RT because it doesn't have a floppy drive. However I know that 8171 controllers can be set up to boot from an USB flash device.
My question is, how can I make an RT-boot flash device? In MAX it seems easy to build a RT-boot floppy drive, but I don't have a floppy drive by now. I tryed inserting my USB flash device and changing its letter to "A:", but MAX doesn't seem to recognize it as a floppy.
An alternative could be to boot from an USB CDROM, but the same problem arises: how to build the RT-boot CD.
I really need this controller to run LV-RT.
Thank you
Daniel R.
PD: I'm using LV-RT 7.1.1

Hi, James, thank you for your post.
I have done some tests and yes, the controller supports booting from USB device.
The problem is how to make the flash disk RT-bootable. I've come to create a RT-boot floppy, copy the contents to the USB device and transfer the boot sector from the floppy to the USB device, but it didn't work out. I even edited the boot sector but nothing.
In this point I gave out because I spent too much time, but I think that there's still a little hope of making it work.
Now I wander if I plug an USB floppy drive (I suppose it exists) and boot from a floppy disk would work. But I really don't know.
Any comments appreciated.
Please excuse my english.
Daniel R.

Creating a flash slideshow of images?

Hi guys.
I need some help in making a simple slideshow in Flash.
I'd like the slideshow to have a black boarder box with a white background. I've got two buttons which I have made in Photoshop for previous and next image. I want the background of the slideshow to be white and images to be placed into this box for the user to be able to manually go through the images.
Is there anyway of doing this and if so could someone please assist me on creating such a flash file?
I need roughly 3 - 6 images in the slideshow.
I am using Macromedia Flash 8 Professional.
Thank you to anyone that can help me with this request.

How do you create linux flash player crash log?

I saw the post on Adobe about how to create crash logs on Windows XP & Vista (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408620.html#configure) but do not see any way to do this on Mac OSX or Linux distros. Also will the debug standalone flash players create crash logs?
Is it possible to create crash logs for flashplayer using OSX or linux? If so can someone provide the instructions?
Thanks,
Sean

My swf is crashing in XP too but can you only generate a crash log from the IE plugin (active-x control) or can the standalone player generate a crash log?
Thanks for replying about crash logs on linux.
Thanks,
Sean

How can I create a flash .flv file?

I am going to deliver 12 ultrashort films (about 1 min. each) in flv format.
How do I do that?
I dont have Flash but there seems to be some cheaper converters that can be used - however I wonder if they will produce a quality that is good enough.
And are any of them better than others?
Thanks for any clues.
Ulla

Thanks but it's not a web design issue. I has to do with the security settings on Wiki 3. I had to disable the FiltersEnable function to get Flash embeded.
