Self-running Flash Slide Show

I don't do flash on web sites normally, but I have one
customer who needs a self-running slide show similar to the one
shown here.
TechDefenders.com I have no
idea what tool made it. When I search, I find hundreds out there
from $50 to $299. Again, I'm not a flash author, and may never be
one, but I do need to change pictures from time to time and use it
on this one site. Any ideas of what products can accomplish this or
even if it's not flash but can do things like this, that's OK too.
Thanks!

I went with JavaScript for the following reasons.
1. I found one that does exactly what I need with translucent
fore and back arrows, thumbnails, nice transition, and variable
speed.(Jon's Moo tools based Smooth Gallery)
2. I simply need to copy in new pictures to update it.. I can
copy it from project to project without recompiling anything.
3. I don't need to learn or buy another tool. There is no
virtue in complexity.
4. Smaller footprint
5. It doesn't require a Flash plug-in.
6 It cures an unrelated CSS problem with old browsers.

  • 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

    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.

  • After upgrading to Lion, Preview (5.2.2) appears to have lost the facility to run a slide show by using my mouse to click an icon in the visible menu bar, as I could in the previous version.  Can I retrieve that icon and thus that facility?

    Unfortunately not. Lion has made many adjustments to the previous system. Try opening your pdfs in keynote.

  • What cable do I need to run a slide show with music on a projector at a meeting? I have a Mac Book Pro.

    What cable do I need to run a slide show with music on a projector at a meeting? I have a Mac Book Pro.

    Hi jackwyatt,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you would like to connect your MacBook Pro to a projector to output the display and sound, the cables and adapters you need will vary depending on the specific model MacBook Pro that you have.
    I recommend this page for getting a good idea of which adapters you might need:
    About Apple video adapters and cables
    Additionally, the tips in this article can also apply to using a projector as a display:

  • 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.

  • 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:

    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.

  • 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.

  • Can I make a non-flash slide show using Fireworks, with JPEGs not GIFs?

    Can I make a non-flash slide show using Fireworks, with JPEGs not GIFs?

    Look to using jQuery instead of Flash.  There are a variety of redy-made solutions available, just search Google or visit the Dreamweaver forum and ask there.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Why can't I see the flash slide show on my own website since installing newest version?

    Since installing the newest version of flash player on my computer a few days ago (version 11.5?), I can't see the old slide show on my own website.  I know it is still there because a friend running XP can see it.  I am running Win7 Pro with IE 9 in 32-bit mode.  Also won't work in Google Chrome or IE 64-bit.  I could see the slide show with the old version of the flash player.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • 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.

  • Flash slide show - feedback / help

    I designed an animated slide show that is part of a client's website: http://www.pizzamondobend.com/
    Client is complaining "running super choppy on my computer" and I see the issue as well - corrected once I hit the refresh button, but can anyone assist with something I may have overlooked either in design or activation with this Flash component?
    Thank you ahead of time!! ~Kate

    As Ned suggests, it does load fine and play OK with a good connection speed.
    I think what your client may be talking about however, is on a marginal connection, I do notice some slight pausing, choppiness on loading for the first time, once loaded and refreshed it runs fine. I also noticed that the pics that slide change speed, so they are either eased or there are multiple points in your tween line, they are not a smooth even pan. The pics that fade in and out look fine.
    If I were to make a suggestion I would suggest you increase your frame rate speed, 30 or 40 fps or more, but use the same time to tween images as they are currently, test out a few see if it helps... more frames in the same period of time will certainly make the images appear to move smoother. Also carefully look at your tweens to see if there are multple points within the line. If there are multiple points, maybe try one point at beginning and one at end only. If all else fails, you could try a preloader.

  • HT2178 I do not have sound on my computer.  It was fine last night but when my husband turned it on this morning, there was now sound.  Also My iPhoto shuts down when I try to run a slide show.  I have just had my computer for 2 1/2 weeks.

    I had sound on my computer last night but when turning on this morning there was no sound.  It is not muted.  Any suggestions.  Also, when I try to run an event in IPhoto as a slide show, it shuts down.

    Just to clarify, does iPhoto unexpectedly quit or does your computer shut down? For the sound problem, try here:
