Slide order in the timeline

I have been shown how to do a very specific task in Flash Pro CS5. I have five slides in my timeline, with buttons that include links to product pages on our website. These five slides comprise a movie, with each slide being displayed for a few seconds and it repeatedly cycles through the five slides in a banner at the top of our home page.
In addition there is a navigation bar below my slide images with a play and pause option, plus the five slide numbers so the viewer can navigate from slide to slide manually.
I have been asked to change the order of the slides so that slide #5 now becomes slide #1 and slide #1 becomes slide #2, and so on. I can easily switch the images and links so that the slides are in a different order in my file, but now the navigation bar below does not work. In the Actions panel, the #1 button in the navigation bar still appears to be linked to slide 1, which now has the new images, yet the nav bar does not respond to clicks anymore.
How was my nav bar disabled when I switched the images and links around between the slides? and how can I correct this?
(Keep in mind, I know NOTHING else about Flash except how to replace the images and change the button links in each slide, which I do monthly, as this is the top banner on our website.)

Thanks so much for your reply, Rob.
The slides are on the timeline and each one is displayed as the playback head moves from one frame to another. I do this in my file by dragging the red rectangle with the red line extending from below it across the timeline, which is on a layer that the original author named MC Content. However, when I go to the layer called Scene 1 where the navigation bar is, the red rectangle at top will not move when I try to drag it.
I don't know what the action script does except to link my button to a page on our website. The code looks like this for slide 1.
slide1_1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myButtonFunction5_1);
function myButtonFunction5_1(event: MouseEvent) {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.tobaccofreecatalog.org/ProductDetails.aspx?id=2&itemno=J660");
navigateToURL(request,"_self");
I don't know if the slides use actionscript to show and hide each one.
Now that I look at it, maybe all I need to do is change myButtonFunction5_1 to myButtonFunction1_1 on the above code?
I don't know how to answer your last question. The individual images for each slide are jpegs I created in InDesign, but I don't know how they are referenced or what that means.

  • Photos not showing in the correct time order in the timeline

    On a recent holiday I was using both my iPhone and my dSLR to take photos. When I returned from holiday I noticed that the time on my dSLR was wrong. After I had imported the photos into the photo mac app I changed the timestamps to the correct one.
    Unfortunately not all of the photos reordered themselves correctly in the timeline. They are no-longer in time order, near time order, but not perfect.
    For example the first photo in the timeline currently starts at 12:30, about 5 photos later the timestamp is 11:20.
    How do I get my photos to display in the correct time order in the timeline?

    I think I've figured it out,
    When I put in the time for my SLR I set the time zone to the holiday destination.
    Despite having a local sim card and the iPhone correctly geotagging me in the location, not all the timezones on the iPhone photos are correct, some are home time zone, others are holiday timezone.
    To fix it I used the adjust time tool to change the time zone, but leave the time the same and the photos magically reorganised into the correct place.
    It seems the timezone is as important as time. I hope that helps other people

  • Since upgrading to 10.1 the slider bar under the timeline has disappeared. How do i get it back?

    The slider bar is no longer visible. When using the timeline I have to either use the zoom or the  play head to navigate through my project.
    Anyone know how to make it visible?

    Tom,
    thanks for the clarification. This had me totally stumped I wrote to Larry Jordan and he wasn't able to help. I have written back to him explaining your solution.

  • Slide order and the filmstrip

    Here's something that's been driving me nuts for a long, long
    time. Can I really be the only one? (I haven't found any posts on
    this...)
    I have an annoying habit of inadvertently rearranging my
    slides on the film strip. I can't figure out how (circumstances
    under which) I keep doing this, but it is annoying as all get-out.
    Somehow I unwittingly drag a slide around on the filmstip, and
    occasionally I don't realize slides have gotten out of order until
    it's been published and a reviewer says 'this doesn't make any
    sense." And it is sometimes hard to remember in a detailed recorded
    capture what the order was originally.
    Okay, /rant. Anybody have any experience with and advice on
    this 'phenomenon'? <insert smiley here>
    Thanks a bundle!

    Thanks for your feedback, everyone.
    Here's one example of the work flow style that causes me to
    use the film strip a lot.
    I have some linear WBTs that include branching. In other
    words, I need to enforce a mostly linear order, although there are
    some branches to support certain interactions. So I need to control
    the nav and I don't include the playback control, but I do believe
    in allowing the learner to control the pace as much as possible. I
    have individual image nav buttons that appear on each and every
    slide. Depending on the slide, the timing, and the branching
    situation, the button may operate differently from one slide to the
    next. (And yes, I make sure it remains predictable to the user.) So
    I typically get all my content in, then go back in and work on the
    nav and the timing, adding the buttons and then going through and
    adjusting their behavior, slide by slide. I have not found a way to
    do this wholesale with different 'types' of image buttons. This is
    much easier to do if I can look at the individual slide, but see it
    in context simultaneously with the filmstrip thumbnails, and be
    able to jump two up, three down, whatever, to make related tweaks
    to timing, etc.
    These are software training WBTs, with conceptual stuff
    sprinkled in. I guess I'm surprised that this is an unusual way to
    work.
    The idea of numbering the slides is great, but I do a fair
    amount of rearranging as I go, as the flow gets tweaked. However, I
    could see renaming with topics, so at least I know that a
    particular misplaced screen-shot slide belongs down in the
    "Managing Lists" section, or whatever.
    I would also prefer to use the keyboard. I typically move up
    and down the filmstrip w/the arrow keys. I know you can't do that
    with the individual slide view. Didn't occur to me to try page
    up/down, though. (Duh! Silly moi.) Thank you, Andrew! That is one
    of those simple habit things that will just help immensely.
    Thanks again! I will submit the 'feature request' too.

  • Hiding objects in the timeline view as too many objects

    Hi there
    I have a rather busy slide going on and I have lots of objects in my slide, so much so that when I expand the timeline panel it stretches all the way to the top of the screen.  Is there any way I can temporarily hide some of the objects from the active timeline so I don't need to keep scrolling up and down.  I don't want to hide them from the slide itself, just the timeline.
    Cheers
    Julie

    Hi there
    One trick I've used in the past is to work with a copy of the slide. Just remove all elements to simplify and focus only on what you need to focus on. Once you have it working as you want, copy it from the duplicate and paste into the live slide.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How to reverse clip order in FCP7 timeline?

    I'd like to reverse the order of clips in my FCP7 timeline  (NOT reversing each individual clip). I want to show some clips on the timeline and then immediatley play the same set of clips in reverse order (not each individual clip in reverse order).
    Is there a way to reverse the order of the clips in the FCP7 timeline?
    Thanks!

    In other words, Meg, you're saying you don't know of any way to do what I'm talking about?
    Of course I could manually place them in reverse order, one by one - but that's not what I asked about. I asked how to reverse the order of the clips.
    To suggest manually rearranging the order of the clips in reverse would be like if someone asked how to reverse the play direction of one clip, and someone were to reply with a suggestion of rearranging the individual frames, one by one, until reverse playback of the clip were achieved.
    Let me try to clarify for anyone else that may read this, to avoid further difficulty understanding what I'm saying....
    I want to know how to take a series of clips that are on a timeline (i.e. Clips A, B, C, D, E, F), and get them to be put in the opposite order on the timeline (i.e. Clips F, E, D, C, B, A).  I DO NOT WANT to manually rearrange the clips, NOR rearrange copies of the clips, NOR take the Clips from the bin and place them in reverse order on the timeline.
    The point to my query is to avoid the time-consuming effort of manually placing clips in reverse order, if there is a way to do this (just like instead of taking a clip and painstakingly copy/paste each frame, one-by-one, in the opposite order of its natural way, you just Modify the Speed to Reverse).
    Make sense?

  • Moving Tabs in the timeline

    Hi
    Is it possible to organise the tabs in the timeline window? I had them perfect but then FCP crashed and when i restored the project all the tabs were out of place. I tried moving/dragging them into order along the timeline but that didn't work. It's not a biggie but it helps with my workflow
    Thx

    Have solved the problem by dragging each of the tabs into a new window

  • Presentation widget -- slide order

    It would be great to be able to rearrange the slide order in the Presentation Widget.  I could always move the triggers around to the desired order, but the Prev/Next buttons would advance out of order, and I wouldn't be able to use the horizontal transition.
    Any way to achieve this?

    I'm not entirely certain the slideshow widget is scalable. Many of them are not.
    You can try adding this to your CSS code:
         img {max-width: 100%; height: auto !important;}
    If that fails, you might want to switch to a fixed-width, centered layout.  Liquid layouts are very tricky to work with.
    Alternatively, you could look for a jQuery slideshow that does support % widths -- although these carry the potential for distorting your images if the aspect ratio is not maintained.

  • How can I change the order of the photos in a slide show I have created on my iPad mini?

    How can I change the order of the photos I have selected in a slide show on my iPad Mini?

    Currently, the order in which the phone numbers appear (in a contact) is dependent on the sequence to which you enter them. There is no way to change that order other than re-entering them in the desired order.

  • Where is the Shuffle slide order button in iPhoto 6?

    Where is the Shuffle slide order button in iPhoto 6? - I don't see one...
    Click Settings at the top of the Slideshow dialog to set one or more of the following options:
    ** where is this button? ****---> Select "Shuffle slide order" to play slides in random order.

    Rev:
    In iPhoto 6 there is no Shuffle option in the slideshow mode. However, if you select an album or a number of photos in the library and use the Play button in the toolbar at the bottom there will be a Shuffle option in the Settings window. That's the only place you'll be able to shuffle the slides.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • Image hidding when I try to slide it down in the timeline

    the beginer and his mistake, english ones as well, my mother language is french!
    As a beginer with Mac and with Final cut pro, I've done a few unexpected clics, result, fighting hard to get them fixed!
    1) I've closed the Canevas and timeline frames, when I tried to bring them back from the window, both names where grey and unclikable, since, I've not been able to get them poping out properly when opening FCP6, they do pop out at the end and it seems I can work for some functions.
    2) When I pull down an image from the visualisor to the timeline or the canvas, the image does not slide over it but hiddes behind the window, meaning I cant continue working with my film!
    I believe all that can be easily fixed but how, research in the help topic did not give me much succes.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    referring to 2nd part of question:
    sounds like you've got 'workspace arrangement' issues.
    forgive me, not in front of FCP at moment but,
    try going to Window/Arrangement/workspace-and change settings to 'default'.
    If what your describing in 'part 1' is that you have no CANVAS, and you grab footage from 'visualizer' aka BROWSER, (or could be VIEWER), and drop it into timeline-perhaps your CANVAS is active but - like you said, hiding behind your VIEWER.
    You need to reset your workspace or simply hit F9 and click on the hiding CANVAS-that should sit it in front of the VIEWER, in which case you can grab the edge of the CANVAS and slide it over to the right, until it locks into place.
    Now you should see all of your working windows.
    hope this helps

  • Updating Power Point slides changes the timeline

    Hi all
    I am using Captivate 4
    When I am updating the power point slides it changes the captivate timeline for the slides
    I set the slides to be 3 seconds and after each update I perform it extends all the slides to a longer period
    Why is it acting like that?
    Is there a way to prevent it from happening with every update I perform?
    Thanks for your help
    Merav

    Hi Lilybiri,
    The PPT slides that I add to the Captivate are not animated, these are static slides and I would like to set the duration for them.
    The problem is that with every update the timing is overridden.
    Thanks for your help,
    Merav.

  • [Cp] Select object from the timeline and move it on slide with cursor keys ?

    Hello,
    I don't know if there's a shortcut for this :
    Sometimes, it's easier to select an object from the timeline but if you try to use cursor keys to move it, you're in fact moving IN the timeline.
    Is there a way to switch to Slide edition ?
    Thanks.
    PJ

    You can not only use the cursor keys, but also in combination with other keys. And indeed, you have to move the cursor over the stage:

    There is a list with shortcut keys in the Help, but not complete.
