Slide show swf ?

I'm new to Flash and an amateur at making pages so keep it
simple for stupid me.
I have a html page that has a space on it that I would like
to show a rotating image ( like a slide show a image would fade in
and then be replaced by another, maybe in a window shade like
effect in the loading )
I was going to put a layer over the are in dream-weaver and
put a swf movie of the "slide show " into it.
Maybe about 8 different images, and have it loop.
Is this a good way? If so, How do I make the swf in flash?
Thanks for any help or direction

Wow My question was bad, Let me try again.
Here is what I want to do.
I have 8 photographes .jpeg's
That i want to load in a space that is on my front page like
a slow slide show.
Can I make a flash movie out of these photographs where one
image gets replaced by the next ( fade in fade out ) every 4
seconds and continues to loop.
I'm guessing but I could then float the flash movie in a
layer over the front page image anyplace I would like?
If so, any tutorials on how to do it?
If not how should it be done?
Thanks and sorry for the mix up.

Clickable slide show with external SWFs

Hi... I would really apprecaite some help with the slide show please.
I have a slide show that loads 3 external SWFs. (The External SWFs have buttons and action script of their own as well )
I've gotten the SWFs to load and to switch automtically as well as on the button Click (going to next SWF in array). What I would like to do is the following:
- Have the buttons 1,2 and 3 go to respective SWFs (and not just a next button option)
Also, as far as transitions (just basic fade in and out) is that something I should do within the external movie Clip?
Thank you very much I appreciate all the help. Here's my code:
// Array of external clips to use. Variable index refers to next clip to be displayed.
var clips:Array = ["page1.swf", "page2.swf", "page3.swf"];
var index:int = 0;
// Stuff to load swf files
var thisLoader:Loader = new Loader();
thisLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, doneLoading);
var thisMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
stage.addChild(thisMC);            // Add empty MC initially so the nextClip function can be generic
// Removes old MC and gets the next one, waiting until when it has initialized beore adding it to the stage
function nextClip():void {
    thisLoader.load(new URLRequest(clips[index]));
// Tell AS that the loaded file is a movie clip and add it to the stage.
function doneLoading(e:Event):void {
    stage.removeChild(thisMC);
    thisMC = MovieClip(thisLoader.content);
    thisLoader.unload();
    thisMC.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, runOnce);
    stage.addChildAt(thisMC, 0);
    thisMC.gotoAndPlay(1);
// When thisMC has finished - the next MC starts
function runOnce(e:Event):void {
    if(thisMC.currentFrame == thisMC.totalFrames) {
        thisMC.removeEventListener(Event.EXIT_FRAME, runOnce);
        index = (index + 1)%(clips.length);
        nextClip()
// "Next button" just calls a function that goes to the next file name (mod the number of files in the list)
MovieClip(parent).bttn1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playNext);
function playNext(e:MouseEvent):void {
    nextClip();
    index = (index + 1)%(clips.length);
Thank you!!!

Have you ever successfully saved anything to that external drive? My first two thoughts are that the drive isn't formatted for the Mac or that you don't have rights to save to the drive.

Export indesign slide show as swf/pdf

Hello,
I try to export a slide-show containing buttons and flv-movies as pdf and as swf.
SWF-export:
In the exported swf file when viewed with the Firefox browser (Flash Player 16 installed) the movies disappear when I try to play them. However everything else including the buttons do work fine. The same problem I have with other browsers (Internet Explorer, Opera) as well as the “Standalone Flash Player” and the freely available “SWF Player 2.6”. Only when I play the swf-file with “Adobe Flash Player 11.2 r202” (outside the browser) the movies are streamed when clicked on. However here the movie frame has not the correct size and is moved to the upper left corner.
PDF-export:
When exporting the same indesign file as PDF and viewed via Adobe Acrobat Pro (Version 10.1.13) the buttons to switch to previous or next page do work fine. Also the movies are streamed when clicked on. However now the buttons to switch to next or previous status of multistate objects do not work.
System specifications: Indesign CS6, 64bit, Windows 7
Thank you for any suggestion,
Finn

SWF slide show does not play

I need some help with a Fireworks swf slide show.
This is the web page:
http://www.shortlifeweb.com/DrTedScott/index1.html
And here is a hard link to the slide show:
http://www.shortlifeweb.com/DrTedScott/images/slideshow.swf
The slideshow.swf works fine, so I think the files and swf
are properly located.
However, in the index1.html, the slideshow does not play.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ken.

To make things simple, I created a blank page - no template,
no formatting. And it still does not play.
According to some of the tutorials I have seen, the slide
show should play within Dreamweaver, but it doesn't play there
either.
Thanks.

Export to flash swf from Slide Show module

If I work on a stunning slide show, with music et al, It would be perfect if I can export to a swf file and put it on a web site or left to clients on a CD.
Otherwise, as is now, I have to work twice: create a slide show and then a web flash site...

There is nothing you are doingt wrong, the web people need to check their Flash stuff, most importantly realyl include al lthe files you provide them with. there's a reason why it spits out 4 files...

How do I re-order pictures in the slide show feature?

I am wanting to periodically add pictures to the slide show. Is there a way to...1. re-order the pictures? and 2. Have the latest one added be the picture that is the one first seen when the page is opened?
Thanks.

You can delete them and re-add them accordingly or you can use random which would show the random order of images.
Another workaround can be be done using layers, where you can drag the image to the desired position which you want to show in order with slideshow.
I have created a short video for you , please download from here :

Newbie Here - How to Create a Slide Show in CS5?

I am using Windows 7 and I am familiar with PSElements 8 where creating a slide show is easy. I just want to create a slide show in CS5 (in Bridge?? View>Slideshow Options?) using vacation photos from several folders, and I want to order them manually.
First, I can't figure out how to display more than one folder in the Content panel in Bridge. Second, I can't figure out how to create and intersperse "blank" slides with text.   Third (and I haven't even gotten this far yet), how do I save the slide show and burn a VCD? This was all so easy and intuitive in PSE8, I can't believe it seems nearly impossible in CS5!
As an alternative, should I simply re-save the photos as JPEGs (they are PSDs now), export them to a Desktop folder, open them in PSE8 and create the slide show there instead?   Thanks for any help and suggestions!

1) Bridge has a new feature (can't think of the term at the moment) but it works like instancing or virtual copies. Select all of the photo's that you want and place them in the "collection" (Ah I knew I would think of it) Move to another folder and move them into the same collection and so on. These are virtual copies in that they don't really exist, but are a link to the original images. You then can use the collection for the slide show.
2) Just create a page same size as your photo's in photoshop with what ever color background and put your text on it.
3A)The slide show can be exported as a pdf or swf. Windows can then copy the file to a cd. If you choose swf, you may need to alter the html file (I assume it generates one, if not it isn't har to create one) The html file would help the web browser determine the correct size to display at. If you have flash, it can be used to create a html file as well.
3B)If you would like the slide show to be displayed on a tv screen, then your cd/dvd will need to use a format that your dvd player can play, mp2 is the standard, but some can display jpg's, some are blue ray, etc. For exporting into the correct video format, then one of the following can be used. After Effects, Premeire pro, Encore, Photoshop (If you have quicktime installed and you are using one of the formats that quicktime supports like mp4)
If you have quicktime installed, paying the 20 bucks may be worth it as it will allow you to take your jpg images and generate an animation file as avi or mov. But can save as mp4 as well.
4) In Bridge you can select all of the images and run image processor on them. This plug in is part of photoshop there fore it will be in the menu's under photoshop. It will let you specify the files size, format and any actions, etc. It will then place them all into a folder that you specify.

Slide show in a Tabbed Panel

I created a moving slide show using Creative DW Image Show Pro (a Dreamweaver extension) and inserted it into a tabbed panel created in Dreamweaver using the Tabbed Panel Widget. It's a three tab panel with an image show, SWF, planned for each tab. The first tab accepted the image show and seems to be working fine. But when I loaded the second show in the second tab, it did not work.
I have read the code a number of times and have found nothing wrong, but my knowledge in that area is limited.
I am working in Mac OS 10.6.2 and in Dreamweaver CS4.

This can be done in iweb using 'my albims' page, I posted various versions of this (of the same javascript). But here it is (again), add the following to your 'My Albums' pae using HTML Snippet:
<script type='text/javascript'>
function redoMediaGridWidget() {
headerControlsDiv = parent.document.getElementsByClassName('com-apple-iweb-widget-headercontrols')[ 0];
headerControlsWidget = headerControlsDiv.widget;
mediaGridID = headerControlsWidget.p_mediaGridID();
mediaGrid = parent.document.getElementById(mediaGridID);
if (mediaGrid) {
mediaGridCount = mediaGrid.childNodes.length;
for (mgi = 0; mgi<mediaGridCount; mgi++) {
mediaDiv = parent.document.getElementById('gridEntry' + mgi);
mediaDiv.removeAttribute('onclick');
slideDiv = mediaDiv.widget.getElementById('slideshow_placeholder');
mediaDiv.widget.p_startSlideshow(slideDiv);
mediaDiv.addEventListener('mouseover', function(){mediaDiv.widget.p_scrub(slideDiv);});
mediaDiv.addEventListener('mouseout', function(){mediaDiv.widget.p_startSlideshow(slideDiv);});
clearInterval(chkMediaGridWidget);
chkMediaGridWidget = setInterval('redoMediaGridWidget()', 500);
</script>

Fireworks Slide Show

I have a link on my employee website that goes to various
slide shows that I created of different events. I have links to
click on that brings them to a different slide show I made in
Fireworks. I tested it last night and I had to end up re-naming the
files when I put them on my root folder because they all share the
same names (example: "slideshow.swf").
I think they all have to be on the root folder but when I
tried renaming them and changing the code I couldn't get it to
work. Does anyone know a way around this so that I can have 4
different slide shows in Dreamweaver?

Invalid Token while viewing Slide Show Component in Design Mode

Hi Guys,
I am having an issue where my SWF files that appear in a slide show component are displaying an invalid token error while in design mode in Xcelsius. When I export the SWF file to Infoview, this error flashes on the screen for a second before the logon token is passed and the child SWF is loaded.
I am trying to find a way to solve my issue so the invalid token error message does not appear and therefore does not get flashed to the user before the file actually loads.
I downloaded Fix Pack 1 for SP3 because there was a line in the fixed issues detailing:
"An Invalid logon token message appeared in Infoview when you viewed Flash objects (SWF files) that contain a QaaWS or Live Office connection."
"This issue has been resolved".
It is still happening even with FP 1 installed.
Has anyone ever encountered this issue before and found a solution for it.
Thanks in advance!!
- Anthony

Ok, I found out it has definitively something to do with the "Design mode could not load swiz-framework-1.0.0-RC1.swc. It may be incompatible with this SDK, or invalid. (DesignAssetLoader.CompleteTimeout)" warning. This somehow affects the loading of the mx:Image.
Recompiling the SWC might work with the swiz swc, but there are more swc's giving this error like the google maps swc which does not have the source avalable freely.
This is a real pain as I like to use a mockup image in Design Mode to place components exactly as provided by the design team.

Weather widget and slide show problems

Hi
The site is www.heritageharbourcommunity.com
My site opens on a three column fixed page with header and footer. I have been able to define the area between the nav bar and footer as editable. When I go to incontext and try to make that area editable through incontext it seems fine until I test it. I receive a message that the area is not editable and I can make regions editable through incontext. Only the right most column has a dashed line around it. From that I assume the problem is with the weather widget in column 1 and the slide show in column 2.
All of my other pages are single column and seem to work well with incontext. Any suggestions? Thanks...Morgan

Hello MoBet,
InContext Editing regions cannot contain Flash or JavaScript content, so you should wrap the sections you want to have editable with div tags to separate them from this content. For example:
<div id="sidebar1">
    <div id="mysidebar1-1">

Slide Shows...Not for the Web

Hello everyone,
Has anyone ever created a slide show that is projected from a
computer onto a large projector screen like one would with a Power
Point presentation. Power point uses vector based graphics as well
as flash, however, once you have the flash SWF, unless its
contrained in and HTML file or something like that, it doesn't blow
up to a computer screens resolution without blowing out the
graphics. I've played around with make slides and images larger
using a 1042x768 screen res, but is there a better way?
Thanks,
Kyle

Lightroom is first and foremost a media manager.
I suspect many would have reservations about this. Lightroom is a very limited media asset manager. I do not think this is a design goal for the application. It is designed to manage raw files from supported cameras and some other files - jpg, psd and tiff - and track videos taken with the camera - that's about it.
Many would argue most of the development energy has gone into the dev module.
Another thing to consider is performance. Because LR is attempting to faithfully reproduce the image as per edits to the dev module it builds and updates a large preview library which has performance and disk space implications.
As suggested, try before you buy.
