Slideshow Viewer with music - Flex example code??

Hello.
I am not a Flex programmer at this time. I have only started looking at it because a client of mine wants a slideshow viewer that fades between images and plays music on her website. The site is done with simple PHP. Can someone point me in the right direction? I have no problem learning Flex but I need this asap.
Thanks in advance,
Noble

There's no point in reinventing the wheel for that solution...
This is a free flash-based slideshow app that will solve your problem quick, and if you dont like that one, try google'ing Flash-based slidewhow...
http://www.flshow.net/carousel_download.php - by the way, it is FREE
Flex would probably do what you want, but you would be a ways off from deployment, and learning it to solve this problem seems like overkill.

I've got a new iMac with Mountain Lion OS. Created a slideshow complete with music in iPhoto. Every time I try to export to iPhoto slideshow folder, it freezes. Help!

I've got a new iMac with Mountain Lion OS. Have created a slideshow complete with music in iPhoto, but every time that I try to export it to an iPhoto slideshow folder, it gets halfway through and freezes. This has been going on for a couple of days. I've tried opening iPhoto holding down the option key, but it doesn't make a difference. Any advice, please?

Upgrade to v9.4.1 or
Trash the HP Plug in from /Library/Application Support/iPhoto
There are two libraries where this plugin might be
HD/ Library
and
HD/Users/Your Name / Library
(On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)

Best way to duplicate slideshow dvd with music

I have a DVD slideshow put to music made as a tribute. What is the easiest way to make duplicate copies of this? The audio is in one directory and the pictures in another directory. Running MacBook Pro with 10.5.8 OS

Use the export button in the slideshow to create a video file of your slideshow. Copy it to an USB stick, and transfe it this way to the computers of your friends.

Help with NI-DAQ Example Code

Hi. I've just started working with the NI ISB-6211. This is the first ACD i've ever used, so i'm farily new to this. I have quite a bit of knowledge in programming. After searching through the installation files I found some example C Code that runs in the command prompt. I've modified one quite a bit to get it to do what I want. My question is...
Now, i'm having some issues. I'm trying to get it to print a voltage reading into the command prompt. I've hooked it all up and i've used labview to make sure everything is working as it should (Which it does!). When I compile the C program and run it, instead of returning a voltage it just aquires points, and I really have no idea what these "points" are.
Here is the main part of the example code:
DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateTask("",&taskHandle));
DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan(taskHandle,"Dev1/ai0","",DAQmx_Val_Cfg_Default,1.0,10.0,DAQmx_Val_Volts,NULL));
DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming(taskHandle,"",10000.0,DAQmx_Val_Rising,DAQmx_Val_FiniteSamps,1000));
// DAQmx Start Code
DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxStartTask(taskHandle));
// DAQmx Read Code
DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxReadAnalogF64(taskHandle,1000,10.0,DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel,data,1000,&read,NULL));
printf("Acquired %d points\n",read);
Error:
And then it just moves down to the exit clause. Is there any documentation anywhere which tells me which DAQ command I need to use to print a continuously updating voltage read out? (Just as a decimal, like 5.21V for example).
Thank you all
John
Solved!

John,
The data acquired by DAQmx is written into the array called 'data'. The number of points DAQmx wrote into this array is stored in the variable 'read' which was passed in by reference. To print the values returned, you'd need to loop over the 'data' array, and print each value. See this help topic for an explanation of DAQmxReadAnalogF64.

5800 Comes with Music [PIN/Activation code] is the...

OK - bit of background first
Some months back I brought a 5800 that did not 'COME WITH MUSIC' - I've got it all set up nicely, got all the apps I wanted installed, email settings correct, games etc etc
Recently - just for fun - I entered a couple of codes on the Pepsi ringpull promotion to win a 5800 'Comes with Music' - & guess what, got an email saying I've actually won !!! (haven't got it yet though)
Now I know I can't use the PIN/Activation code from the 5800 'comes with music' phone with my 'older' 5800 (I believe the code is 'locked' to the IMEA of the phone or something like that - can any1 confirm this ??) - but what I'd like to know is how long have I got before the activation code is 'invalid'.
What I mean is that IF I don't use it then my 12months 'free download' subscription will not start - but if I leave it for - say a year - will the code become invalid & I lose out on all those lovely free downloads ??
The way I'm thinking is that I could keep the new one locked away & if/when my present phone gets too badly damaged, or the screen get's scratched, then I can 'backup everything to PC' (Nokia Suite) & reload it into the new one THEN use the activation code & get a years free download
Or would it be better to transfer from the old phone to the new phone now - use that with my free downloads & 'factory reset' my old phone & sell it on/recycle it ??

OK so no answer - however since I've now got the new phone, I can answer my own question
There is only 2 Months from recieving (buying) the phone before the 'Comes with Music' voucher is made invalid

Exporting Slideshows/syncing with music tracks

Hi all -
I'm having a problem where I've created a slideshow in Iphoto6 that's timed to a music track..it plays fine and is correctly timed when I play it as a slideshow in Iphoto, but once I export it as a Quicktime file, the timing is off by a few seconds. This creates a problem as the music hasn't ended yet, but the pics have. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to correct it?
I added a couple of more pics to the slideshow and changed the individual settings for a few slides to allow them to play longer and that worked, but it's frustating to create something that works perfectly and then have it off sync after the export.
Thanks for any help!
- Kamen

I have had this problem, too. It seems to shorten the duration of the slideshow so that the timing with the music is then off.
It seems to work fine when I don't use the "Ken Burns" effect, though. Has that been your experience?
I'll be interested to see if anyone else has a solution!

*~*Slideshow exports with music but blank white screen!*~*

The details:
I'm using iPhoto '09 on a mid 2009 MBP, Lion 10.7.2, 2.35Ghz, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB, 4GB RAM DDR3, 320GB HDD but now 108 GB free.
I have 176 photos in the slideshow, all .jpg. Using the Scrapbook theme with a "Custom Playlist" (selected from iPhoto's Slideshow music browser/settings menu thingo) of 3 songs -one is the theme's default song, the other 2 are mine from iTunes Library.
Exporting to .m4v using the "Display" quality setting. Takes forever, about 1.5 - 2 hours, at the end in the final export there's either a blank white screen and the music works, or it all works up to one point and then the screen goes white and the music chages abruptly to the nexrt song.
Am I doing anything incorectly, or is there something I might be able to try in an attempt to fix this?
Advice or help so, so greatly appreciated

Yes the track details were written in English, thanks for your response. And they weren't tracks with DRM.
I ended up solving it ... can't be specific about what resolved the problem because I tried multiple things.
I heard there was a problem with iTunes 10 and iPhoto 'talking' to eachother, so I copied my songs over into the iPhoto theme music folder (in Application Support >> iPhoto Slideshows) and selected them in iPhoto by clicking "Music" and, this time instead of clicking iTunes, I used the default themes folder/drop-down selection. I then exported via clicking the Export >> Custom Export button and selected .mov with Apple Intermediate Codec, changing the FPS to 25 (someone said to do this in another thread, it wasn't about the same problem as mine but I tried it anyway. I'm not a techie person but it also may be important to justify the choice of 25FPS by saying I'm using PAL ... I think that has something to do with the FPS?!)
Anyway, after all that, the final export played back perfectly! Hope this is able to help anyone out there who may have the same problem. I exported two different slideshows, one had about 150 more photos than the other, so I can safely say the successful export wasn't a fluke!

Problems with mobile projects with apache flex 4.8 and an overlay of the latest air sdk

Using flash builder 4.7 beta, apache flex 4.8 and an overlay of the latest air sdk, i got resolution problems while testing the mobile app (windows version on windows 7) with the air (ipad)emulator. That means the emulator is much bigger than my screen (logicaly seen the resolution of my screen and also like this in earlier version), but the app is much smaller than the emulator. As I have no design view with apache flex 4.8, I don't know where to start searching. Can anyone give me some input?
Gert

Hi Crill,
I don't see any error on creating new projects and running the same.
Where did you get the installer from?
What is the framework linkage type? You can check this in project properties -> flex build path. It should be Merged into code for Apache SDK.
thanks,
Sudhir

Making a slide-show disk with music self-playable

I have burned a slideshow disk with music through Keynote. In "Inspector", I made sure that zI selected "self-playable" before recording and saving it. However, when I put the disk in my iMac, the icon appears on my desktop, I click on the icon, a window pops up with the file on it, and I click on the file. Then Keynote opens up with the slideshow showing in "Navigator" and I have to press or select play for the slideshow to play.
What must I do to have the slideshow play as soon as the disk is loaded or at least when I click on the icon of the disk on my desktop?
Thanks for your help.

Place the individual music files into a new iTunes playlist. Choose it (not the individual files) by hitting the OK button.

Full screen slideshows with music

How do I publish slideshows that can be displayed full screen w/ music? I've read through some posts that seem to allude that this can be done w/iweb + iphoto, but after much trial and error I can't get it to work.
An example of what I'm shooting for is what I'm able to do over at phanfare.com, such as with this album:
http://public.phanfare.com/slideshow.aspx?username=public&album_id=281790
Really, if I could just get my iPhoto slideshows to display through iweb it would be great. That way you get ken burns, music, full screen, etc.
What I've discovered is that you can create your iphoto slide show and export it as a quicktime movie for posting, but the quality *****. Contrary to other posts, you apparently can not select to share a slideshow from within iphoto to iweb since the pages are grayed out in the options. The standard iweb slideshows from the album pages don't have music and aren't capable of full screen viewing.
I'm a phanfare subscriber and love their slideshows but they are making some big changes in the service next year and I'm looking for alternative ways of sharing slideshows- but I gotta have full screen and custom music. I'd love to use my .mac account since I already pay for it.

QuickTime Media Link is very simple. A tiny text based file that holds special settings for playback and is viewed using the QuickTime Player (not a browser plug-in). It will always download to the computer when the link is clicked. They measure in bytes (not MB's like your actual file).
You can make them with TextEdit and save them using the .qtl file extension. The syntax:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?quicktime type="application/x-quicktime-media-link"?>
<embed
autoplay="true"
controller="false"
fullscreen="full"
loop="true"
src="entire URL path to the file.extension"
Create the QuickTime file with iPhoto or any other application and upload it to your server. iDisk users could use the Movies folder. Other server users may want to make a new folder to store the media outside of their regular pages.
Once uploaded you need to use the complete URL in the .xml text file. Test that it works by opening it directly in QuickTime Player or a browser window.
Make your "plain text" file using the example code above. Substitute your URL for the src="entire URL path to the file.extension". You can have the movie "loop" (or not), play at "full" screen (or other sizes) and many other options.
Major advantage to this method is you do not need to create a huge file sized QuickTime movie. A 640X480 QuickTime file in H.264 video codec format and AAC audio is all you need for full screen playback.
In iWeb you need only use the "Link to File" to add this .qtl file to your page. One of mine as an example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/LemonTrees/LemonTree.qtl

How do I access the data saved on my time capsule? for example, if i try to view my photos it tells me that i have 2.4gb of photos and gives me the option to "view with iPhoto"....but when i click on "view with iPhoto" nothing happens... thanks!

how do i access the data stored on my time capsule? for example, if i try to view a photo, i get the option to "view with iphoto" but when i click on "view with iphoto" nothing happens. i'm having similar trouble openning up movies, music, etc. it appears as though the files exist / saved on the time capsule (because i can see how much storage they consume), but i can't open them. thanks!

Unfortunately, Apple removed the feature to "browse backups" in Time Machine backups of iPhoto a few years ago.
You have to restore the entire iPhoto library to a separate location to be able to "see" it, and then choose the specific images that you want use.
For complete details, see #15 in Pondini's excellent support document Time Machine -- FAQ. Check the information in the pink box there.

I just bought a new macair laptop and it doens't have idvd and I want to make a DVD slideshow with music. I have an external CD drive. Is there an applicaation that apple has to do this? IF I buy a used mac, which ones have idvd?

I have a new macair laptop and it does not have idvd. It has a flashdirve instead, so no internal CD drive though I bought an external one. I'm wanted to make a DVD slide show with music and I was told I can't do that in order to play it on a dvd player. Does Mac have an appication to buy that can do the same thing? I thought I saw one for $39.95 but not sure if it will do this. The apple store did not know for sure. Also, if I bought a used mac laptop, which ones will have the idvd installed on it?
Thanks,
Phyllis

It is now apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, will no longer be supported by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
Other users have complained to Apple via Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html and/or http://www.apple.com/contact/ and have received a boxed copy of iLIfe 11. Give it a try. In the meantime the following maybe of interest:
iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
All of these issues can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
Apple has announced that iLife is now an unsupported product and those iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the boxed iLife 11 at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought. Personally, if I already didn't have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

Slideshow with Music?

Hello. I’m looking for some help with creating slideshows, with music, and creating a web page so it plays for friends (Mac or Windows users).
I can do the basics. I’ve selected a group of photos in iPhoto (6.0.4) and created a slideshow, then I selected Music. I clicked Play and was happy with the results. Now what?
By accident, my first slide show (while in iPhoto) encorporated a sound track (Sample Music - “Acoustic Sunrise.”) And when I played the show it looks and sounds great. But I am unable to replicate this for posting on the web.
When I select a group of photos from my Library and then select the “Create Slideshow” button, I get options that include Music. However, when I choose the iWeb button and use the drop down menu to select Photo Page, I no longer have the option to include music.
Likewise, if I Save a slideshow while in iPhoto, then go to Share - Send to iWeb, nothing happens. It is greyed out.
Soewhere along in this process I managed to Publish. But the published shows do not include the sound track. I can’t see any option for including music.
I’m confused. I’m trying to do anything fancy here. I just want to post what it is I am getting in iPhoto on my desktop so family-friends can view and hear. Help?

Noodlehead, I share your frustration & disappointment at the lack of elegant interface between iPhoto, Keynote, and iWeb. I am frustrated! I have spent all night creating a Keynote presentation to put up on iWeb for a state presentation. Although I was able to put a very clumsy version using QT, it's very unfriendly - no music, no controls. So I tried to export it as HTML. No can do uploading html to iWeb. So, I took those individual jpg files in iPhoto and made a slideshow with music. Cool! But again, there is absolutely no interface between iPhoto slideshows and iWeb. The support directions for Share: Mac Slides are great until you look for a Step 5: Connecting your slideshow to iWeb or even .Mac. Photocasting doesn't even allow people to go from one picture to the next with out clicking in and out of pictures (Click to view. Click to close pic. Mouse down to next pic. Click to open the next pic Click to close. Mouse click down ... AND there's no music that goes with . I'm thinking I could make an iMovie, but I am so afraid THAT won't upload either. I thought there was this elegant interface between iWork & iLife. Boy, am I WRONG! It looks sexy, but it turns out to be crack junkie. I've been up all night and all day now going from one dead end to another. IF anyone CAN HELP, PLEASE RESPOND. I think I'm going to try taking it into iMovie and then hopefully put that on iWeb. SAVE ME!

Slideshows with Music in iWeb

How can I create a simple slideshow (perhaps with dissolve transitions) with music using iWeb '09 and MobileMe? The standard iWeb slideshow does not seem to have a music option. Are there good options for doing this?

I tried creating a slideshow in Keynote '09 and exported to Quicktime. I noticed two problems.
1. When I double click on the exported video file, only the audio starts playing and the screen is blank. I have to actually click inside the movie frame to get the video version of the slideshow to start.
2. There is no video controller, so the user has no way of pausing the video. Is there any way to get the controller to appear.

How can I make a slideshow with music and burn it to a disk?

I need to make a photo slideshow with music and burn it to a disk. I am able to make the slideshow but I cant figure out how to save it or burn it to a disk.

How do you want to play the slideshow? On another computer or on a TV set?
If it's the former export the slideshow as a QT movie file to the desktop and burn that file to a disk with the Finder.
If you want to create a video DVD of the slideshow so that it can be viewed on a TV set, use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option. That will export the slideshow into iDVD where you can complete the menu and project design.
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good and you can then burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
