A simple slideshow program for 68k OS7 Macs suggestions pls

I'm looking for a simple slideshow program for my old 68k OS7 Macs. I just want to have some PICTs display on a set time period or key press. Nothing fancy.
I can get Claris to this but wonder if HyperCard can. I'm no expert on HC but it seems to be designed for this exact job. Do I need to find a "stack" or some already made item to open in HC then attach my piks? Any suggestions?

It would be possible to use HyperCard, although you may need to do a little programming if you go with it. If you use a blank HyperCard stack, you can assign one picture per card and link them. Clickable buttons would be the easiest way to do this. Which version of HyperCard are you using?
An old version of PowerPoint would work fine too. Anything older than PowerPoint 98 runs on a 68K unless you are using a 68000 processor, in which case you'll need one of the pre-1994 versions.
Believe it or not, Kid Pix is a possible answer to this as well. Any version from Kid Pix 2 onward (as well as the Kid Pix Companion addon for the original Broderbund version) contains an application called Slide Show, which is used with files in the PICT format. You can display an image for up to 30 seconds and add transitions between slides.

Start a simple slideshow with a button

Hi together,
I work with CS6 and create a slideshow with 8 pictures. Above a button, now I will touch the button to start the slideshow. Now it doesn`t function. I see only one slide to the next slide by touch the button. By taking the automatically version, the slideshow starts everytime by opening the document. I don`t understand. It is so simple, and I see not my mistake.
Best Regards
Boris

A button can go to a specific state or to the next or previous state, but it cannot play the slideshow. One workaround is to set the slideshow to Tap to Play/Pause and add a dummy button image in the first state. Tapping the button is really just tapping the slideshow.

How do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it when you just play a slideshow.

how do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it with presets when you just play a slideshow, but i don't see an option to randomly shuffle the slide order when you create a new slideshow. i know you can sort it by different fields, but i want it to be random. thanks.

If you want to rearrange images in random order you can try an AppleScript:
retrieve a list of selected images from Aperture
shuffe the list properly
create an album in Aperture and add the images from the list to the album (make sure that the album set to be orederd manually)
Here is a sample script that shuffles the selected images and displays them in random order in Full Screen Mode:
on removeItem(ims, i)
-- remove the item at position "i" from a list ims
          if ims is {} then return {}
          if (length of ims is 1) then return {}
          if i < 2 then return rest of ims
          if (i = length of ims) then return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims)
          if i > (length of ims) then return ims -- should be error?
          return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims) & (items (i + 1) thru (length of ims) of ims)
end removeItem
on shuffle_items(ims)
-- shuffle the items of the list "ims" randomly
          local numitems, ims_shuffled, nextrest, nextpick, i
          set numitems to length of ims
          if length of ims < 2 then return ims
          set ims_shuffled to {}
          set nextrest to ims
          repeat until nextrest is {}
                    set i to (random number (numitems - 1)) + 1
                    set nextpick to item i of nextrest
                    set beginning of ims_shuffled to nextpick
                    set numitems to numitems - 1
                    set nextrest to removeItem(nextrest, i)
          end repeat
          return ims_shuffled
end shuffle_items
on shuffleIms()
-- retrieve the selected images from Aperture
-- and display them in random order in full screen mode
          local imageSel, shuffled, i
          tell application "Aperture"
activate
                    set imageSel to (get selection)
                    set shuffled to my shuffle_items(imageSel)
                    set fullscreen to true
                    if imageSel is {} then error "Please select some images."
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              reveal {item i of shuffled}
delay 3 -- chnage that to the time you want
                    end repeat
                    set fullscreen to false
                    return shuffled
          end tell
end shuffleIms
shuffleIms()
Some more code snippets to go from here:
To create an album:
                    tell library 1
                              if not (exists album "shuffledAlbum") then
make new album with properties {name:"shuffledAlbum", image version:shuffled}
                              end if
                    end tell
And to add the images from the shuffled list to the album:
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              duplicate item i of shuffled to album "shuffledAlbum"
                    end repeat

I just created a slideshow dvd in imovie, and when I hit finalize it said that it would take 7 hours to finalize. I've only had my macbook pro for 6 months, and this is the first imovie I've done...is this normal? If not how can I speed up this process?

Hi
Time needed can depend on several things.
• less than 5 GB free space on Start-up (Mac OS) hard disk = Redicolous long times AND a DVD that most probably will not work OK
Medicine - I never go under 25GB free space
• Use of strange file formats into iDVD - can force it to de-code first then re-encode - this can take long long times
I use
Video - StreamingDV as from miniDV tape Cameras - or QuickTime Movies Converted to StreamingDV
Audio - .aiff 16-bit 48 kHz - (no .mp3, .wma etc)
• Use of old Mac - My G4 600MHz took about 24 hour per hour movie. my dG5 - about 2 hours per hour (I use Pro Quality encoding)
• Pro Quality encoding - takes about x2 to process a movie

No, sorry, but you can, of course, produce a series of images for use in a slideshow.

Creating a Simple Slideshow w music as a movie for a web page.

Hi all,
I would like to create a simple slideshow with music saved as a mp4 movie for a web page. I'd like to use basic transitions like crossfades between the pictures and other fun stuff
A few questions:
1 - Would I be better of creating this in iPhoto or iMovie or Keynote?
2 - Any hints in getting started?
note: I guess I'll post this on iPhoto area also...

You are probably better off in iMovie. You will have a lot more control. With iPhoto, as far as I know, all slides would have to be the same length, and you would need to pick music from iPhoto. With iMovie, you can customize slide length, make them change on the beat, use your own music, etc.
I would use Keynote only if you want to include text and bullets where the photo is only part of the slide.

The compiler tells you which line of your code generates the NullPointerException. Analyze that line to determine which of your references may be null.
Hint: Declaring a variable reference does not initialize it!
Then deal with the ClassCastException the same way.

Simple Slideshow isn't working in IE 7 and 8

I am using the simple slideshow widget for the first time. When I add the widget to Dreamweaver it seems to work fine. When I go to browser lab and review the results for Internet Explorer 7 and 8 all I see is the list view of the photos that I have included to the slideshow menu. Things seem to be fine for IE9, Chrome, Firefox and Opera. It seems as though IE isn't seeing the javascript. Does anyone have any ideas?
thanks in advance.
the sight is www.hairlinecreations.us

thanks for responding.
It turns out I had to place the 3 java calls for the spry navigation bar before the java calls for the slideshow. There must be something in conflict that interferes with the slideshow.
thanks again

Can you record your voice in logic pro 9 just as simple as garageband or do you need a plug-in?

can you record your voice in logic pro 9 just as simple as garageband or do you need a plug-in or interface?

Alas, poor Logic, I knew him well.
Recording wise, It will be much the same as Garageband but you will need to read manuals as Logic doesn't set things up for you. You must choose input and output devices, create the correct tracks. Logic was designed for professional use so it expects users to be somewhat familiar with recording/editing techniques, in other words, won't hold your hand or be nearly as easy to use.

Just a simple little TIMER

Can someone please recommend a freeware/shareware application that is a simple TIMER? Not a calendar or anything elaborate. A t-shirt, not an evening gown. Just a simple little TIMER, so that I can set it to ring after whatever number of minutes. Something that can sit in a little footprint on my desktop.
Thank you.
I looked in the Apple section already.

Need help with simple slideshow

Hi everyone,
I'm a complete newbie at Flash and trying to build my first
movie, just a basic slideshow. I have about a dozen jpegs all same
size, and I just want a basic fade out and fade in the next one, no
user interractivity necessary. I imported the jpegs into the
FlashMX (v6) environment, converted to graphic symbols, created a
movie clip symbol for each image, and set up the fade in/fade out.
Each individual movie clip works OK, but I can't figure out how to
arrange my movie clips to display in succession in the main
timeline. I can set frame 1 as a keyframe and place a movie clip in
that frame, test the movie, and the clip plays. I put a keyframe in
frame 2 and put the next movie clip in that frame, then nothing
works. Any suggestions? If someone could just explain the basic
principal of playing several movie clips in succession, or just
point me in the right diresction, I would be very grateful.
Thanks much,
Dave

Here is some of the action script for the slideshow.
This first bit sets up the automatic interval transitions in
the main movie timeline
function nextImage()
mc_slide.mc_transition.play();
} // End of the function
function waitImage()
clearInterval(slideTimer);
var slideTimer = setInterval(nextImage, timer * 1000);
nextImage();
} // End of the function
function pauseSlide()
mc_slide.mc_quicktransition.gotoAndPlay(2);
} // End of the function
var timer = 8;
var pauseTime = 20;
var slideTimer = setInterval(nextImage, timer * 2000);
stop ();
the movieclip loaders that load each movie clip are embedded
with the transition animation.
this is the code in the embedded mc-it loads the 1st movie
clip and allows the user to manually jump to any of the other movie
clips.
emptyMC.loadMovie("frame1.swf");
var pageAddress = "about:blank";
btn1.onRelease = function ()
_parent.pauseSlide();
gotoAndStop(1);
btn2.onRelease = function ()
_parent.pauseSlide();
gotoAndStop(2);
btn3.onRelease = function ()
_parent.pauseSlide();
gotoAndStop(3);
btn4.onRelease = function ()
_parent.pauseSlide();
gotoAndStop(4);
stop();
I need to know how to put the code for the automation of the
slideshow pause until each movieclip has finished loading and also
at the same time disable the manual control of the movie clips
before they are fully loaded.

A simple slideshow

i'm looking for a simple way to create a no-frills flash
slideshow.
currently, i'll put my images on a layer and use frames to
expand the timeline so each frame is left on long enough for
viewing.
is there a simple way where i can just put 15 images on 15
frames and then use a simple piece of AS to make each frame freeze
for about 6 seconds before going to the next frame?
i also just need to make this loop - no advance or rewind
buttons. thanks.

The Slide Presentation (uses screens) is ideal for this. Just
start a new flash file and select Slide Presentations instead of
AS2.0 or AS3.0 (depending on your version). Unfortunately, it is
available only with Pro versions.
Once you're in, simply import each image to a different slide
and apply effects (timeline, transition, timing etc.) to the first
one and have the rest inherit from the first.
Good luck,
V
