Creating a slideshow from external images

[Egg Bramhill]

Michael,

I attach a zip file of how I would do this.

Download the file, unzip it and open the fla file (Flash8) or view the swf file in the standalone player.

In Flash choose export as projector file type. This will now run as a standalone player on any computer.

To increase the number of photos just edit the text file named "numberofphotos.txt" by changing the value of "photoNumbers=" to whatever value you want. Apart from the number of photos don't alter the text in any other way. Save the text file on completion.

This way you never have to edit the Flash file again.

You could change the transistion(?) tween to whatever and as many as you want by creating new ones and randomising their selection.

Hope this helps.
