    Default Presentation auto-start and loop

    I am making a presentation to put on our electronic whiteboard as a promotional item for clients to see when they come in.

    Is there a way to make it auto start and loop? Or at least auto sequence and loop once started?

    The idea is to start it and let it run all the time until the whiteboard is needed for other things.

    Welcome to TalkGraphics

    There is a way to do this but I have long forgotten how. Let me see if I can get someone to respond to this.

    I experimented with this: https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...ent-Slideshows.
    Try the Cyclic Presentation.web example.

    I didn't look at Acorns example and maybe it is just the same, at least this one is based on his idea.
    You will find some code at the website head code section. In the line
    this.d=[[90,20],[80,30],[70,40],[60,50],[50,60]];
    the timings are defined. You should only change these values.
    For example if you add another page it should change to something like
    this.d=[[90,20],[80,30],[70,40],[60,50],[50,60],[100,10]];
    If you then add a presentation step to the last page it becomes
    this.d=[[90,20],[80,30],[70,40],[60,50],[50,60],[100,10,20]];
    The values are in 0.1 seconds so 10 means one second.

    A simple LOOP option would be most welcome, no?

    Thanks for the help everyone! I downloaded the Cyclic Presentation file and am digging around to see what is what.
