Interactive slideshows

Hi,
I'm looking to make an interactive slideshow for my website. As a photographer, I would like to be able to have each categorical page of photos be easy to scroll through without clicking a large number of thumbnails.
An example of what I would like to do is any gallery of photos at http://www.lynseyaddario.com/
I want to be able to load all of the photos into a slideshow that viewers can click through or watch a timed slideshow of all the images.
I have most Adobe programs, so if there is a way to do this outside Dreamweaver CS4, I'd be open to it.

The jquery framework seems to be the most popular at the moment when it comes to slideshows and image galleries..
Take a look at the following link and I'm sure you'll find a lot of possibilities:

Interactive Slideshow to DVD?

Is there any way to take my Quicktime interactive slideshow made by Keynote 2 and burn it to DVD so I can control the Keynote with the DVD player remote?
I would just like to give a Keynote through the dvd player, but so I am controlling it and it is not just a movie playing.
Thank You in Advance!

nope, iDVD doesn't support chapter stops. The only way it would work is if you build long pauses in your slides between each build and hit the pause button on your remote every time you want to STOP the action. That would get old pretty darn fast.
Or you could wait for Keynote 3 and pray Apple sees fit to give us instant DVD publishing from Keynote. No idea if that'll ever happen though.

Export Issue - QT Interactive Slideshow - Same Problem for Years

Come Apple... give us some real tech support for your software... like Keynote (Live support is equipment centric).
I had this same issue over a year ago, reported it... and latest upgrade doesn't fix.
Issue:
- Export Keynote file as QuickTime Interactive Slideshow
- Works perfectly on desktop
- When played in browser... it loops at start, no matter if [first slide] is set to Manual ("On Click") or "Automatically After Transition". No matter if "local", or from my web host.
- Happens SPORADICALLY... Yes... some files work, most don't. Also, different behavior in different browsers (Safari, Firefox). Who knows what's going on with 92% of the rest of the world (i.e., Explorer).
Anyone here have any suggestions... Steve Jobs email address?

Follow the below mentioned settings and check.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
Now observe the connection.

How do I restrict access to home screen during interactive slideshow?

I want to set up a slideshow, of sorts, in which people can access a variety of pictures (some of which will have captions and info relating to content), easily navigate between them, and have the pictures in an organised format/a format that is easily navigated. The question I have, is how to make it so that people can't come out of the program/slideshow and into the home screen or anything else on the ipad. It will be part of an interactive display.
Any help/info would be appreciated.
Thanks

Put some duct tape over it.

Replacing pictures in interactive slideshow

I am currently working on a CS5 InDesign interactive project. I have 3 thumbnail buttons which trigger larger pictures on the same page. All works fine when clicked in order, but I cannot go backwards (by clicking back to thumbnail 1 for example) and get the large picture to show again as it sticks on the last picture that was loaded. Would greatly appreciate a solution if possible.

Let me try to make sure I understand:
You have a theme already; you've created images that you want to use to replace the images in the theme you are using?

Interactive slideshow with JPGs

Hi Flash experts,
I have to build a Flash project. The challenges are:
1. Preload 5 JPG images onto a movieclip container
2. Produce a slideshow which loads the 5 external JPGs
3. Autoplay and transition between pictures
4. Have 5 buttons to go straight to the relevant image on the
slideshow and
smart enough continue playing the slideshow from that point
5. A clickable area within the slideshow image to display the
larger version
of the image (can use emptymovieclip actionscript function)
6. When user click to open the large version of the image,
the
transition/autoplay should pause and continue when it closes
I have done the first 3.5 points of the challenge but stuck
on the rest. If
anyone can suggest or direct me with an approach or example
to solve this
challenge that would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

That QT button behavior won't do what you want. It does a lot different things but its not designed to move one frame forward or back. A behavior like this wil do the job. Depending on your QT movie, you may need to adjust the number of frames that are moved each time the button is used. This is the next frame behavior:
property QTSprite
property thisDuration
property thisMember
property customCursor
property thisSprite
on getPropertyDescriptionList
myPropList = [:]
myPropList.addProp(#QTSprite,[#comment:"enter the Quicktime sprite number:",#format:#integer,#default:""])
myPropList.addProp(#customCursor,[#comment:"pick a cursor:",#format:#cursor,#default:280])
return myPropList
end
on beginSprite me
thisSprite = me.spriteNum
thisMember = sprite(QTSprite).member
thisDuration = thisMember.duration
sprite(thisSprite).cursor = customCursor
end
on endSprite me
sprite(thisSprite).cursor = 0
end
on mouseUp me
if sprite(QTSprite).movieTime < thisDuration then
sprite(QTSprite).movieTime = sprite(QTSprite).movieTime + 1
end if
end
and this is the previous button behavior:
property QTSprite
property thisMember
property customCursor
property thisSprite
on getPropertyDescriptionList
myPropList = [:]
myPropList.addProp(#QTSprite,[#comment:"enter the Quicktime sprite number:",#format:#integer,#default:""])
myPropList.addProp(#customCursor,[#comment:"pick a cursor:",#format:#cursor,#default:280])
return myPropList
end
on beginSprite me
thisSprite = me.spriteNum
thisMember = sprite(QTSprite).member
sprite(thisSprite).cursor = customCursor
end
on endSprite me
sprite(thisSprite).cursor = 0
end
on mouseUp me
if sprite(QTSprite).movieTime > 1 then
sprite(QTSprite).movieTime = sprite(QTSprite).movieTime - 1
end if
end
Try these and see if they work for you.

Interactive slideshow

I often use my iPod for slideshows with background music. However does anyone know of a way in which I can use the iPod for a slideshow which has a commentary to accompany each slide? After the commentary has finished the slide should stay on screen until it is changed manually and the commentary then resumes.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Your best bet will be to search Google using search terms like... "AS3 slideshow tutorial" (or specify AS2 if that's your intention). There should be plenty out there, and some should have controls such as you describe, or should at least be able to be modified to have them.

Interactive slideshow with custom Quicktime control

Hi
I have huge amount of pics that I want to present. Therefore I decided to do it with a Quicktime Movie slideshow. Instead of using the given Quicktime Controls in the Property Inspector I rather would like my own control buttons. I tried it with the Quicktime Behaviors from the Library. The play button worked fine, but the forward and backward button did not. What might be the problem?
Regards
Simon

Are interactive slideshow menus possible in Aperture?

I am looking for a IPhoto/IDVD replacement for Mavericks OS. It appears that Aprture might be the software of choice, except that I cannot find any info on the creation of clickable manus as one had in IDVD. If Aperture does not allow this type of creation, what software does?

It's all a bit of a mish-mash at the moment.
DVD was a format for phyiscal distribution of media. But DVDs quality had reached its limits and people started wanting the instant acess of the internet and higher quality of HD.
There is no doubt that's where things are heading, but given all the competition and lack of dominant standards, it does seem like the convenience and ease of DVD (thanks in part to iDVD) has been 'end-of-life'd a bit prematurely.
Apple's approach for a while was Front Row, but then that got killed off too, presumably deciding Apple TV was a better platform it.
If you want to stick with DVDs (or Blu Ray) then there are alternatives to iDVD that are still actively supported, perhaps a question the iDVD forum will help.
But most of the focus now seems on media streaming Apps, for both your local network and internet (receive and broadcast). The trouble is it's still in it's infancy and standards are basic (do a search on DLNA or check out this for a brief introduction: http://www.techradar.com/news/digital-home/home-networking/dlna-what-it-is-and-w hat-you-need-to-know-1079015 ).
The problem is, while DVD was universal, streaming frameworks are not and so currently it's a lot easier to share Apple created content with your Apple owning friends and family than it is with people in a different ecosystem. Before you just had to know if your friends family had a DVD player, now you need to understand their media streaming setup!!
Dispite Apple not participating in DLNA (presumably because it's still much too technical for the layperson and Apple has competing technologies for Apple devices) there are Apps and devices that bridge the gap.
The question is do you want to stick with DVD for now, or make the (inevitable) switch to electronic/streaming distribution. If the latter it's not currently a simple switch from one approach to the other, it's about starting a whole new learning curve.

How can I make a slideshow of animated slides in Edge?

I've watched Paul Trani's great tutorial on making an interactive slideshow of images in which people can click through the images (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teYOHY5bGyk) and I've made a nice slideshow.
But I now want to make a slideshow just like that but use animated Edge compositions instead of JPEGs or PNGs for the slides that will play when that slide appears . . . does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you so much for your help!

Erin, most of Pauls tutorial demonstrations ave source files available for download.
For that particular slideshow demo, it is here http://paultrani.com/2013/07/how-to-create-a-slideshow-in-edge-animate/

How do I output interactive slides to HTML5?

I need to produce a simple interactive slideshow to HTML5. I'm very new to Flash, but quite experienced in most of the CC suite.
I followed a tutorial last night and created a slideshow of 4 images and 4 buttons, which worked fine when output to and .swc and HTML wrapper. But when I Published using the Tooklkit Create for JS, the slideshow continuously cycled and the buttons (from the button library – with UP/OVER/DOWN/HIT) flashed and cycled.
Is the code, that I was prompted to write in the ActionScript, available in a library of snippets? Otherwise, if I start a new project and want slightly different actions, how will I know what code to enter?
I've used Muse sucessfully and used the Slideshow Widget, editing and placing the forward and back buttons, styling captions and removing the thumbnail option. I can output this as code (Export to HTML), and the preview works fine. I can also open this in Dreamweaver.
Would I be best advised to continue working in Muse, or will I be missing a whole lot of tricks not using Flash.
Is there any other Adobe application that would beter suit my task, and allow a CMS?
Thanks, Jerry

Hi Jerry,
Would you mind reposting this question over on the Flash Professional forums (http://adobe.ly/XnCf1)? This forum is primarily for end users, the Pro forums will get you in touch with a wider developer audience.
Thanks,

Keynote slideshow glitches in iDVD

When I import a slide presentation from Keynote I want it to be manually advanced. I have all slides set to "on click." I have tried to export as an interactive QT as well as directly into iDVD. Both ways - once the show is imported and I play the show via iDVD either the first three slides get jumped through or sometimes just the first. Once it finishes this quick jumping the slideshow plays fine and advances simply on the clicks. I have switched the slides around and it doesn't matter what slides are there, it always jumps through the first or first three. When exported as an interactive slideshow the .mov plays fine as a stand alone. It is when imported into iDVD that the problem occurs.
BTW there is no audio on this -- so I don't face that issue with this presentation transfer to iDVD
Peace,
Jim

+running Jaguar on an Intel iMac.+
I believe you mean Leopard. Here a cat, there a cat...
This might be a media issue.
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/18.html
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

Making intro slideshows

I have designing my website with Dreamweaver and am wondering how exactly I can make a non-interactive slideshow for my main page, preferably in Flash or Fireworks. I want the slideshow to begin each time the main page is loaded. I have been using Simpleviewer to make my galleries because i don't know html, I'm a photojournalism major and happened to get the entire cs4 suite with my macbook. I'd like to learn to put more than PS and Indesign to good use.

Timeline Slideshow question

I'm trying to create a slideshow in Dreamweaver MX similar to
the same style as this webpage has:
http://www.milliestuxandbridal.com/
The problem I have is that when I do create it according to this
tutorial:
http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/interactivity/slideshow/slideshow02.html
I get this message when I preview it in a browser (IE7): To protect
your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this page from
running scripts or ActiveX controls. I can allow the script to run
but I must be doing something wrong because I don't get this
message when I view MilliesTuxandBridal. Can anyone figure out how
they made the slideshow in Millie's website so that a security
message doesn't show? Should I make the slideshow in Flash instead
of Dreamweaver? Or is there another program or tutorial I should
try? Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Thanks for any help with
this matter. By the way, I would like to make this slideshow with
10 photos and to have the photos overlap each other slightly.
Thanks again.

I am still trying to figure out the Timeline in Dreamweaver
and I appreciate the help I have received. I was actually able to
make it work with this tutorial
http://www.flawebdeb.com/septdebtip.htm
. Although it did work well after uploading my page to my webhost,
I noticed that the slideshow, which worked well in IE7 did not
rotate through the slideshow in Firefox 1.5.0.5. (I have tried it
on several computers/browsers). One other thing I am after is a way
to make the Timeline rotate images with a slight overlap of images
instead of just swapping the images. I did try using different
layers on different channels but was unsuccessful. I did notice one
other mistake I have been making and not sure which way is correct.
When I use a layer with a image in the Timeline, do I use the layer
or the image? (I did see one of each in one of my test
timelines)
