Modern Photo Slideshow auto start

The "auto play" button in the
mc, controller element of the Modern Photo Slideshow is very
handy. What would it take to code this functionality so that it
kicks in when the slide show first loads? Any help would be
appreciated.

Found the answer: when you double-click the mc, controller
sitting on the stage, there is a frame script that has about 58
lines of code. Sitting at the bottom is
autoplayStatus = 0;. When you set the value to 1 (one) and
test the movie, is starts in auto-play mode.

Modern Photo Slideshow template help, please...

Hi guys and gals... Happy Thanksgiving! Now, back to work,
right? Yikes!
First time questioner, and I think I've done my due diligence
on searches, etc, but...
I am getting back into Flash usage after a few years off, so
I am pretty rusty. I'm stepping on the
Modern Photo Slideshow template that comes with CS3, and am
almost done! I've resized, deconstructed the god-awful controller
down to something simple and elegant, added all my client's 27
images, set the publisher to play=true...
BUT, I can't seem to break the code: I'm trying to get it to
start in Autoplay=1 mode (play on download), but it keeps skipping
the first frame. I've tried quite a few very simple code tweaks,
like changing various zeroes to ones, but can't seem to find the
rosetta stone.
If I simply add a null frame to the beginning, so that image
1 is at frame 2, it goofs up the framecount, as well as the looping
elegance. I guess that would be fine, if I could figure out the
proper syntax for making the framecount display (i.e.: 1 of 27)
equal to framecount-1 to compensate for the null frame at the
beginning. However, that 's just a Big Hammer method of solving my
problem. Surely there is a more effective and proper way?
Summary: All I really want it to do is start in
autoplayStatus=1 without blowing past the first image.
Anyone know if this is a simple code tweak? I'm so close, I'd hate
to switch to a different template, as the client loves what I've
currently got.
Thanks so much!

Slideshow auto-start

How do I auto-start a slideshow on the same picture?

Enable the Auto play feature through Slide show options. Not sure what you exactly mean by "on the same picture"!

Photo Gallery Auto Start

I've gone through the photo gallery tutorial:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/spry_photo_album.html
And it worked just fine for me. But now I'd like to create a
photo gallery for a homepage that loops through a couple of images.
I've looked at the demo and the script found in gallery.js.
I'm not sure where to put the
StartSlideShow() function to get the slide show to loop
through the images without a user interfacing with it.
Can some one point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Hi Paul.Wrightson,
The photo album tutorial you mentioned is a *very* basic
implementation. The one that you see in the demo section here:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/gallery/index.html
is a bit more complex because it uses effects etc. So what
I'm wondering is if you want to use the "basic" version or the
"demo" version. You can't just use the functions from the "demo"
version with the markup you have in the "basic" version.
If its the "basic" version you want, then it is a matter of
just setting a timer that changes the current row of the data set
every time it fires.
If its the "demo" version, all you'll need to do is generate
a photos.xml file like you see in the gallery/galleries/*
directories, and edit the galleries.xml file so that it refers to
your photos directory.
We used Photoshop's web album feature to generate the XML,
thumbnails etc.
In any case, let me know which version you are trying to use.

How can I auto start a slideshow?

Is there a way to auto start a photo slideshow? I'd like to skip the index screen and go directly to the slideshow.

iweb1 slideshow can be directly linked, so if you have iweb1; you may like to try that.
now to the bad news, iweb2 slideshow can be directly linked, only if users' browser allow pop-up windows. however, most people DO block pop-up windows.
here is example - please disable your browser's pop-up windows for it to work:
http://hdl.50webs.com/Direct_SS/Photos.html
that because iweb2 slideshow requires two open windows: photo page window and slideshow page window. slideshow gets the photo from photo page, while photo page is opened. slideshow will stop working when photo page is closed.
in my example, there is one added line of javascript in the photo page ,js file to start slideshow (five seconds after the photo page loaded):
setTimeout('widget1.playSlideshow()', 5000);

Stop and start a photos slideshow

Hi .. So I want to use the photos slide show to execute a presentation .. But this means I need to start the slideshow and then stop, present the slide (a photo of the slide in fact), and then continue to the next photo .. I.e. I want manual control of the slideshow. Is this possible without having to stop and restart the whole slideshow?
Thanks.
Btw keynote cannot handle my large ppt files, and photos/slideshow is the only other app I can find that outputs to the via and my tv/projector, hence I converted the talk to a jpeg and loaded it as a sequence of photos! It would be quite a lot easier if good reader could output to the VGA, or keynote display PDF files.

Hi,
If you do the slideshow from the opening screen (Picture Frame), the iPad allows for no control other than stopping the show completely. If you run the slideshow from within the Photo app, if you stop a slide (you have to touch it and move it a bit to get it to stop), then the whole slideshow stops and you have to restart it again in the usual way. So Craig is right. Just put your presentation in an album, open the album and manually swipe to the next photo when you're ready. The only practical way to get the photos onto the iPad is to sync them to the Photo Library album (you can't sync to the Saved Photo album and you can only get pictures in there either from Safari or from email- unless I'm missing something), which means you'll be losing the ones that are already there. But that shouldn't be a problem if you just store them on your main computer and synch them back after the presentation's done.

Slideshow Action -- Auto start

I've used the slideshow action In GoLive once before, but in conjunction with a mouse click and it worked fine. However, I now want to have a slideshow on the home page of a website and have the slideshow begin automatically when the page is opened. The "slideshow auto" action seems to require either a mouse or keystroke event as a trigger. How can I get the slideshow to begin automatically upon page opening. I'm assuming it can be done easily, I just can't seem to figure it out . . . I'm utilizing a Mac/2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo/2GB RAM running MacOS 10.4.11 and GoLive CS2 . . .

In article <[email protected]>, "William Lockwood" <[email protected]> wrote: > The "slideshow auto" action seems to require either a mouse or keystroke > event as a trigger. How can I get the slideshow to begin automatically upon > page opening. You need to add a head action item to your page and assign the Slide Show Auto action to it. Set it to run OnLoad and it will start as soon as the page has finished loading. I have a couple of screen snaps (GL6) to illustrate the procedure: <a href=http://www.simnet.is/klipklap/golive/slideshow-auto/> Note, you need to name your base image first. -- Cheers Martin

Photo Slideshow Help

I don't much care for most of this new iMovie, but the Ken Burns effect controls are way better in '08.
For this reason alone (and that if offers a couple additional bells and whistles that iPhoto doesn't have) I am using it to put together a 350 photo slideshow for a friend's wedding.
The friend gave me all the chronologically ordered images on a CD which I imported into a new project and set about applying the Ken Burns effect to all of 350 of them.
THEN.. she changed her mind and wants to group the images thematically (i.e. Friends, Family, Travel, Camping, etc.)
What is the easiest way to move the photos/clips around?
It seems I can only move one at a time and there is no bin I can place the clips for organizing purposes.
Moving one at a time is going to be a major PITA... but so would starting over and redoing the KBE's.
Also... this isn't a question, but.. the audio management in '08 is super lame. No crossfading? Come on. Don't give me the "take it to GB and bring it back" workaround. I don't want workarounds. I want a piece of software that works.
On the upside, it is faster. No rendering delays. That's nice. Thought I'd end on a positive note.
Any help with the reordering of clips would be appreciated.

What is the easiest way to move the photos/clips around?
Unfortunately, as you've already discovered, there don't seem to be any "internal" shortcuts. Would likely remove all transitions, overlays, and titles and, starting at either end of the project, use a "bubble sort" algorithm to manually move each photo to its new location (and hope KBEs don't change). Then finish by rebuilding transitions, audio, and titles. Would be more likely to use this approach if and only if KBE are not changed while re-ordering the individual photo icons. On the other hand, if you do re-start the entire project, then you could "import" the photos as ordered groups (if you alredy have them grouped this way externally) and use the "auto add" feature to insert them into a new "project" and automatically apply the transitions (if all are the same) at the same time. (Also may be a good idea to start a new, separate project if your friend is one who is prone to constantly changing their mind.)
As to audio, how are you adding and adjusting it? Are you placing them in each photo segment or adding them as a background? Fading in/out seems to be automatic or non-existent depending settings, number of audio tracks, and where/how embedded. Do agree that the old "rubber band" approach did seem much more logical and offer better accuracy with regard to what you could do.

Adding transitions to Flash Photo Slideshow template?

I'm working on generating a template i can use to just drop in photos from shoots for a blog where i discuss the types of projects my team does.
I like the flash slideshow template because once it's all set up the way you want it you can just drop all the photos in on import.
I got everything pretty much tweaked out how i want it - got rid of the controller ball and put the controls and counter on the frame, got it to auto start with the pause/play toggle working correctly (thanks to this forum)
BUT
now i want to add a transition between photos.
I'm thinking I want to extend the number of frames each photo is on stage for add a new layer with a white or black solid and have that fade in and out so that i really can just import in the new images in each time and not require more tweaking but i can't figure out how to change the advance code to say something like "current frame + 15" and set the counter up so it's not affected by the new frames...
I'd like to leave the photo key frames as unmodified as possible so that in the future it really is just a question of dropping in new photos for each blog post...
ideas?

Jim,
You have two ways of doing this,
1.You can put the pictures into Photoshop / Photoshop Element and use the text tool to add your captions.
You can do it in any color or font and then drag it right into iDVD.
2.or do it in iMovie - You have a wide assortment of titles in iMovie. Just uncheck the over black square, I would use the Subtitle, write in the space provided and then pull down the word T Subtitle in front of the picture where you want the titles to appear. Adjust the time with the bar on top. You have a choice of color also. Then put it into iDVD.

Pages for iPad - how to change left column in modern photo resume

Hi there ladies and gents. I've spent the better part of an hour poking around and researching this, but I think I just need to ask an expert.
I'm trying to create a "modern photo resume" document in pages on my ipad2. It starts out with a formatted document filled in with Lorum ipsum. The main body of the document is no problem, I can change that. The part I'm having a problem with is the left column text, with the name "Urna Semper," closely followed by another box of contact information with the same, uneditable properties. For the life of me, I can't find a way to edit any of this text. Selecting it only yields four options: cut, copy, delete, and lock. In the toolbar I can format it, change the size, font, layout, color, you name it. Anything you can think of except what the text in these boxes actually says.
It's driving me crazy.
Anyone with solutions to this will be my hero for the day. Thanks so much!

How to create a photo slideshow in imovie 11

describe how to create a 200 photo slideshow from the start using imovie 11 with titles, transitions and music and then burn it to a dvd

iMovie is to edit movies; creating a slideshow is easier in iPhoto. When finished, you can then move it to iMovie or iDVD to create a cool menu/theme and burn it.
Here is a link to Apple support - I searched for "how to create a slideshow in iPhoto":

Auto Start-Up in OS 9.2 ??

Does OS 9.2 have a scheduled auto start-up and auto shut-down option like 10.4 does?
I have a G3 Wallstreet which had 8.6 on it. I just installed 10.2 because I wanted to use the screen saver feature to turn the machine into a Photo Display. But, 10.2 doesn't have Auto start-up and shut-down features like 10.3 & 10.4. (can't run these later ones on the Wallstreet).
I seem to remember 9.2 had it (and 8.6) but I can't be sure. Before I go out and find a 9.2 CD I thought I'd better ask.
Thanks.

Hi again Don,
I just installed OS 9.2.1 and discovered that the Energy Saver / Schedule tab is not as you described. I only have the option of: "Wake up the Computer" and "Put the Computer to Sleep", with days of the week to choose from and time settings.
Maybe what you have is part of an update from 9.2.1?
What version are you running?
Cheers,

Auto start default html gallery

Can I auto start the html gallery (default)?
Can I not use the thumbs?
Is there a better Lightroom template to do this?
bob

I don't believe that feature is supported in Lightroom's default Flash galleries. You could have a look at SlideShow Pro Lr Plug-in, which is altogether much more powerful and flexible tool for making web galleries and slideshows.

IPhone 4 HDMI output for photo slideshow. Aspect ratio squished?

Bought the Apple Digital AV Adapter and tested it today. Hooked it up via an HDMI cable to a little HD TV. Videos (YouTube or in Photo Gallery) display as they should, in widescreen just as they do on the screen. However, when I start the photo slideshow the photos are squished to the center. A full landscape photo that takes up the whole iPhone screen is squished into a square in the center of the screen. Vertical pictures are also squished to the center, distorting the ratio. When the slideshow comes to a video in my library, it displays correctly.
I talked to Apple by chat and phone and they hadn't heard of this. Can't find anything on the web. I am running the newest iOS 5. There aren't any settings to adjust the video output in settings. If the videos were squished also it would make sense...but they aren't so it doesn't.
Anyone have any ideas?

thanks for the tip, i am extremely frustrated with imovie right now. i have a slideshow of a wedding i went to that i desperately want to share but i cant export to a good enough quality. does that export setting put the video in a format you can use on youtube or vimeo?
thanks!
