Not sure but check back tomorrow when some of the folk from your side of the pond will check back in.
Re: Loop Xara presentations
Hi Woody, would you play this in a browser? Do you need Pause/Play controls?
Re: Loop Xara presentations
Hi Egg, Basically I want to set a presentation running in Chrome and leave it cycling through while I'm not in the room. There's no need for Pause/Play controls as they'd only be needed when I'm there and I can run a different presentation and use my Kingston remote. What I want t do is create something like a simple signage solution.
Re: Loop Xara presentations
I think it can be done. What size are the images going to be approx?
I'll get baqck to you later today.
Re: Loop Xara presentations
Ideally 800x600, optimised using XDP to reduce image size. Single image per slide with about 20-25 images per presentation.
Re: Loop Xara presentations
I think http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...ent-Slideshows is applicable for your need.
I got round the cycling part later in the Post.

Re: Loop Xara presentations
Here's one based on Siran and Acorns coding. Try the index.htm first, but all the hardwork is done in the slider page. Thet code is in the slider.xar Website Head.

Re: Loop Xara presentations
If you want to fine tune the timing of your presentation you can use this variation of Acorns idea.
In the HTML code (head) of the website properties you can adjust the delays for each step. There is an array of numbers in the example that looks like this:
Code:
[90,20],
[90,20],
[90,20],
[90,20],
[90,20]
each line defines the delays for one page. The last value is the delay before the switch to the next page. All the other values are the delays before the individual presentation steps.
The last line doesn't have a comma at the end, this is important.
It also is important that enough values are specified to match the number of pages and steps per page.
The initial delay has to be defined separately in the line All values are in tenths of seconds.
The example is very simple. After nine seconds a logo is displayed and after another two seconds the next page is displayed. There are only five pages.
When you add a page you have to add a line of values to the array.
When you add a presentation step you have to add a value for the delay at the matching position. And don't forget to add a comma.
Re: Loop Xara presentations
I like that Siran. As well as the logo you can add text to the 'Presentation step 1' layer as a title to the image. I also think the sizing to full screen is excellent. Thanks for sharing.
