I made a slide show in photodex producer I'm not sure if any one here uses it but I can figure out how to post the slide show to my site useing WD I tried rendering it to a Flash show and a web show I put the web code in a place holder and I put the video to the route folder using a ftp client and then did a standard WD upload but I cant get them to work ...has anyone had any luck useing photodex producer with WD?
Thanks Mike

Did you link the placeholder to the Flash file? And is the size of the placeholder the same size as the largest image?
I don't think you need the code if the Flash file is self contained, which is the reason for creating a Flash file in the first place. :D
I tried it several diferent ways with on luck I was just wondering if someone was able to get it to work useing their format.
Also I rendered it in a AVI file whats the best way to try that is it just use the link area or the place holder I just want to put the AVI in the root and link to it or is there a way to get a player to play on the page?
thanks
Mike
If you open the Flash file in a Flash player does it work in the player?
It works on my desktop when I render it from Photodex
Drag and drop the SWF, FLV or MP4 to you WD6 page. Web Designer will create the necessary code and copy the source file ready for publishing. No need to upload independently.
I might have done it wrong but I drug it to the page and the picture showed up and it worked in preview but when I uploaded it and hit play it just flashed and stoped like its just one frame ...Here is the page http://www.directsound.com/client_preview_page.htm
I cant see it here at work but tell me if you get the same condition
also I tryise to post a bit of html code it tell you to do by selecting the picture that shows up in the placeholder are it changes from 2010.swf I think thats what it said to the placeholder and tried to upload and the picture went away and I went back to the drag and drop method.
Im not sure where to go from here

This is frustrating.
How large is the SWF file? Maybe one of us can take a look at it and see why it is not working?
If it is under 100 MB (and I should hope so) maybe you could send it to me via You Send it. If you do, please add something to the subject line so I know what it is you want me to download.
And where is Quartz Hills? I grew up in Los Angeles and this is not an city or area I have ever heard of. I have been out of southern California for over 25 years.
I will try to see what size it is when I get back home tonight if to to big I will make a 3 pic slide show and render that to send ...Quartz Hill is just outside of Lancaster - Palmdale in the High Desert off the 14fwy
Could you see the main pic on the page? as I think they block it here at work. I could see it at home but that is where I made it and I didnt look from a diffrent computer.
I think there is 3 things that it puts out a mp4 some kind of flash file and then they have some kind of HTML code they give you do you need it all?
Funny I lived in Alamogordo for a bit as my dad was in the Air Force

According to the source on your page, the flash being loaded is 2010.swf which is only 61KB in size.
This appears to be only the loading screen, there is nothing else referenced in the source to indicate there are any files it should load.
Looks like there are missing files.
HTML Code:[SIZE="1"]<object class="xr_swf" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="258" height="258">
<param name="movie" value="index_htm_files/2010.swf"/><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>
<!--[if !IE]>--><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="index_htm_files/2010.swf" width="258" height="258"><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><!--<![endif]-->[/SIZE]
360x300 is the native size, but appears much smaller on your page.

But I dont know what to do with
thanks for your help First video load with WD
Mike
That embed code does not appear in the source of your page.
Only the source I posted previously.
Also there is nothing in that source to tell it to load an .MP4 - so something is not right at all.
I've done it for others so I'll offer the same to you.
ZIP up all the relevant files and email them to sledger-at-gmail-dot-com and I'll take a look.
Meanwhile, in WD6, you can drag'n'drop an .MP4 into the page and it will create the correct code and placeholder.
Have you tried this?
OK I tried it again I drug the MP4 to the page ..it took a bit of time then I had a message WD out of memeory then it went away I then had a white box with a Play symble in it...That was new I looked in the place holder and there was code ...Im 5% uploded and its going very slow so maybe in a bit we will see f it works
Mike
How many megabytes is the MP4??
Hi from France,
I 've had EXACTLY the same problem as you, DirectSound, and have been struggling for ages to get it to work..... and now it DOES !
I found a new folder had been created "index_web_files" containing a single flash file. if you copy the files "name-show0" and file ".pxc" from your main directory into this subdirectory, IT WORKS !
Hello
I have Photodex Gold in fact I forgot all about it until I read this thread lol ;)
Anyway just done a simple 5 image show with an mp3, when you click the create button select flash then the options tab ad make sure the "create html" button is unchecked the click create and save it to a folder on your local machine.
This should result in 3 files being exported a small .swf file a small .flv file and a large .flv file, the large .flv file is the one you want ;) Simply drag and drop this large .flv file into WD6 thats it job done :)
Hope that helps
Chris
EDIT
Just been playing a bit more you can also create a placeholder and use the replace with flash feature in the web properties menu then select the small .swf file, when you preview the page you click on the first image in the centre of the placeholder to start the slideshow I prefer the first one TBH a bit cleaner and once the user hits play its away, either way will work though :)
Thanks Chris Ill give it a try again. I did a slide show for my client and they didnt have time to come ovet to preview it so Id thought id post it on a client page. Well the wedding was Saturday and the need for that video is gone bit I want to produce a few of them and display what I can do for my clients . I will try it agan with your instructions and get back to you as soon as I get a show up
thanks agin for all the help.\
