Widget: Flash Slideshow (Image Viewer) - Modifications Help!

I created a Flash photo slideshow using Dreamweaver CS3's Insert > Media > Image Viewer. It can be seen here: http://cba.ua.edu/~ckent/ImageViewer/imageviewer.html.
All and only relevant files can be found in the following directory: http://cba.ua.edu/~ckent/Image_Viewer/.
Then, I added a Web Widget to my iWeb '08 site, using the entire code from image_viewer.html as the HTML Snippet (after changing relative links to absolute). Everything works beautifully.
However, I have a few questions for you Flash aficionados out there:
1. Is there a simple way to modify the code such that the images appear at random, instead of in the same order every time? Dreamweaver does not provide this as an option. I can do this easily with PHP, but of course that is not allowed with iWeb, so I'm looking for a quick and non-complex technique to add to/modify the existing code.
2. The images load quickly for normal bandwidth speeds, though with slower connections you sometimes see the loading dialog for a second or two. Is there any preload or other technique I could use to alleviate this?
3. Look at this page: http://cba.ua.edu/~ckent/ImageViewer/image_vieweralt.html. The green is a border that exists due to left-over space where titles and captions were supposed to be presented. Everything has been adjusted such that the minimum amount of space is left within the border. The images are 640x360, but the Flash element has to be set at 654x380 to display the full image size.
Is there anyway to completely collapse the border around the image viewer? I think this is a function of the actual SWF file, so I doubt it is easily possible considering Dreamweaver creates it on the fly.

Performing any adjustments in Aperture corrupts image/viewer..HELP

I did an update on my mac today and Aperture was one of the programs receiving an update. This update brought me to 2.1.2.
Since the update I'm unable to perform any kind of "adjustments" on my photos. Moving any slider or making ANY change causes the image to go strait to black, or the image "breaks" and just turns into garbled noise. A quick "undo" with bring the photo back, but of course I lose any changes I just made.
Please, can someone help? I haven't had this problem at all until I did the update earlier. Very weird.
Here's my specs...
MacBook Pro
Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4 GHz
4GB Memory
GeForce 8600M GT

My Flash Image viewer won't flush left on Windows

I created a Flash image viewer file in Dreamwever and put it
into a table cell and it seems to go flush left on the Mac, but
flushes right on Windows browsers, I have the cell set to flush
left. Can anyone help me with this?

Okay what I do is this. I want to insert a Flash collection of images, one changing to the other. I go to insert, then Flash then image viewer and the Flash image appears where my cursor is, and then my FLash editor appears on the right hand side, and I drop images into it, using the + key, taking them from the images in the foler for the web site. File size of the images are fine I think, all less than a 100k in size. Whe I press play or preview in the web browser, it just flashes once and is displayed as white . No images appear or anything.. I cannot upload to a live site at the moment unfortunatley. I can make take a photo of the screen if you want so you can see it?? Let me know.

I just googled and found lots of folks with the same problem. One fellow wrote this as a soluton:
"All you have to do is
remove the values from the imageLinks in the flash element. That
should fix it."
Does it?

How do I edit image viewer slideshow created in CS3, in CS4?

I apologize for posting this twice...once in a previous post and once here. The reason being...the other post was old (2008) and I'm afraid it might get overlooked. So I thought I'd create a new discussion.
I created a bunch of slideshows in CS3 using Insert - Media - Image Viewer. I was looking for an easy way for my client to update the site themselves. Even though it creates a Flash element, it is easy for them to go in and switch out the images. All they do is click on the slideshow box, hit Window - Tag Inspector and click on the little folder at the side of the Image URLs' line. Nothing could be simpler. Well...I went in to see my client to show her how to do this but she has CS4. When I tried to do the same thing, nothing looked the same. The tag inspector did not have the same elements in it at all. Does this mean she cannot edit the slideshows I have created? Ugh...
If anyone can help with a work around to this...I'd be very grateful!
Thanks.
Pam

Thanks for your reply via e-mail David. I tried to reply but it's a no reply address so I'm posting here:
Do you happen to know if my client who has CS4 would be able to open the slideshows I created in CS3 using the method mentioned here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Bridge/3.0/WSCF044571-2772-4d28-9EBD-2C9F46AF008A.html
Not having CS4, I can't even play around with it to see. Or will the slideshows have to be recreated in CS4? Has my work in CS3 over the months gone to waste in other words?
Alternatively, would it be better for us both to purchase a $29 Dreamweaver extension such as the one below, so we could both access the slideshow from CS3 and CS4 at the same time?
http://www.dwuser.com/flashslideshow/v3/
I need to keep building the new site using the slideshows while she maintains the old site (no slideshows) until we upload the new site this summer. I don't want to continue building slideshows she cannot access.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Pam

Flash image viewer, picture scale problem in CS3

Please someone help me. I have built a website 3 years ago, and I still have this problem. In CS3 I added a flash image viewer (slideshow.swf) as a slideshow to show gardens we have made. When you first visit the site and look at the pictures (wich are bigger than the viewer window because of picture quality issues) they don`t shrink to fit into the viewer window, you only end up seeing a fraction of them. But when they download and you go back to see them again a second later, they become the right size. It also swiches to the right size when the loop play gets back to the first pic again.
In the flash element properties I tried the different scale settings, and looked at other settings too but I couldn`t make it work.
I think making the viewer window as large as the pictures, would look odd. Maybe buying on other slideshow program to insert into dreamweaver would work.
If you would like to see the site its: tsugagardens.com , than look in the photo gallery and after the pics download go back with the back button and see the difference in the pics.
Thank you for your efforts,
Tibor

Here is the code for the image viewer

Please help - image viewer help needed

hi
can anyone plase help
I am building a CSS site and want a simple image viewer -
just one image viewing in a box with >> and << buttons
for the user to scroll through images. I know that dreamweaver has
a built in Image viewer but it does not work properly. It will not
go back to the first image after it has gone forward to the next
images. Even the tutorial does this.
Does anyone know why this happens or can anyone direct me to
a good tutorial that will provide instructions for this?
I know that there are many add ons to deal with this but it
is only a small function that I should be able to produce myself.
Many Thanks

If you're building a CSS site you might not want to use
Flash. Try Googling
for "lightbox". If you have a development budget, you might
also want to

I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv. I've been unable to locate an app that will do this.

I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv.
I've been unable to locate an app that will do this. The Photos app that comes with the phone or iPad has extremely limited duration controls. PhotoStream seems to load everything from my phone or iPad not allowing me to just load up a set group of images.
iPhoto for iPad is getting some terrible recent reviews. I tried a couple other free apps but they don't use Airplay.
I can do something like this with iPhoto and my MB Air, but it's kind of ugly to have the computer open in order to connect by Airplay to my Apple TV. I've thought the iPad or iPhone would be a lower profile controller.
Am I out of luck?

Thanks for your help. Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV. I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air. Thanks again.

The Image viewer flash element could not be found

The image viewer flash element could not be found. What
should I do? Any plug in exists or is it mistake in program? Help
me, please. Thx Joe

Hi,
The issue here is the mapping of the interface to the service in question, and usually points to a possible mistype or rename of something within your service architecture.
You need to make sure your namespace and service name here match your service name itself.

Why does my flash image viewer look different in firefox than in IE...

So I have created a horizontal spry bar that overlaps a flash image viewer slide show. When i load the page in IE everything works fine, but as soon as you open it in firefox it works improperly...you can hit refresh in firefox and sometimes it resizes the image I don't understand how that is possible....if you have any input it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

You need to be aware of the limitations of the various browsers and make sure you use web-safe fonts and colors.....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/FontsandColors.html
Do a Command A on all your pages in iWeb to make sure that objects/text boxes are not touching or overlapping.
Firefox has problems with displaying drop shadows/frames etc.
To get help with specific issues you would need to tell us the URL of our site.

Flash Slideshow Feature: Help?

I am having trouble with Dreamweaver's Flash slideshow
feature. All the Flash elements work properly (as I have set them)
except the *imageLinks* and *imageLinkTarget* options. Regardless
of what I enter (or leave blank) the resulting Flash show makes the
images clickable with www.adobe.com being the linked site. I don't
want any links on my slideshow but I cannot get rid of this feature
even when my elements panel indicates no (or other settings).
Help?

I too have been having problems with the ImageViewer. I have
posted a question in this forum about how changing the
ImageUrlTarget actually does make clicks on the slide show image
open a larger image, but not in a new window, even though this
parameter has been set to "_blank".
I believe the problems with the ImageViewer may be caused by
how the in page Embedded Code and SWF relate. Specifically, it
seems as if you need to re-do everything from scratch, then save
the file/web page to get it to work. It seems like unless a new
Flash Movie (SWF) is built, none of the changes stick. I have not
been able to confirm this. I WISH A FORUM MODERATOR WOULD LOOK AT
OUR POSTS. Thank you.

Flash image viewer works in preview but not online

Hi
I followed an online demo on how to get an image slideshow on my webpage using flash. It was using insert media image viewer. It all worked fine, looked great in the preview but when I put everything online I can't see it. Just an empty space were it should be. This is the site where it is

You have not uploaded the Scripts folder to your server which DW generated automatically for you when you inserted the Flash.

Can I make an image display instead of flash slideshow on explorer with high security?

I am a total flash beginner. I created a simple flash slideshow that I want to appear on my website. It works fine in firefox., but when viewed in explorer with high security, nothing displays unless the viewer specifically allows it. The slideshow is very prominent, and the site looks very bad when only an x shows up. Is it possible to have a static image display in place of the slideshow, and then have the slideshow start if the viewer allows it? Is there any other way to get around this?
Thank you for any assistance.
EJ

Have you tested it with IE online or only locally? Locally IE will usually prohibit displaying Flash content.
