Having a minor problem. Assume you create the album and get out of the slideshow program. Later, you realize that you might want to change a filter. So, you start the slideshow program again and open the file. Now, how do you alter the filter properties on reload? Also, it seems that the settings that you used are altered to the original settings when you first start the program, which implies, you must redo things.

Wayne.It is a simple matter of opening the album, making the adjustment and republishing. A lot of the “stuff” gets buried into the swf.

Is there a way to add audio/soundtrack to a slideshow if you make it this way? Thanks!

Not using Fireworks CS4. There is nothing in the interface that permits this and the end product is a swf, not an fla, so you can’t add it in Flash.

Hi,

I tried inseting the Slide Show (swf file) into Dreamweaver… The ablum layout does appears but not the pix and the file can’t play by it self.

Any advise??

Thanks

I created my slide show but the interface will not let me put in an export path…I did it just like you did and when I find the file and click select, it doesn’t show up. It won’t even give me an insertion point to type it in manually. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Great tutorial by the way!!!

COME ON TOM! what do I do if I do not see this extension in my commands tab. I am using the CS3 version of fireworks.

I honestly don’t know why it isn’t there. You sure it isn’t in the Creative group?

[...] geht das ganz easy mit Fireworks, das Stichwort heit: Slide/Dia Show Ab FW CS3 kannst Du das so machen wie im Tutorial, das beste alles ist mit XML und Spry aufgebaut [...]

Same thing here. I loaded the file in Dreamweaver to an asp page and nothing. I tried a plain html page still nothing. THe frame appears but no pics, no autoplay, nothing. I did notice int he code that it does not put in AC_FL_RunContent code. COuld that be the problem and if so how should it lay out?

When I select the folder with my images to create slideshow, after I hit “ok” and select the image name(s)…on the lower right hand corner it says “file not found” What is wrong?

Nice tutorial, I wish I would have seen it prior to starting!

Is there a way to embed your slideshow in Dreamweaver CS4? I can’t seem to get it to work.

Thanks.

I am having the same problem as Charles Key. The export path isn’t displaying and you can’t type it in either. Any suggestions

Great tutorial, easy to follow…
I’m using CS3, and aside from not having the “Create Slide Show” option, everything worked to the letter. The only problem is a photo resolution problem. It seems as though I’ve lost quite a bit of resolution. Any advice to fix this?

Awesome Tutorial!
Followed everything to the tee, but won’t allow me to put an export path like Charles Key & Barry Geertsen and can not move forward to save. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Thanks

Ok. I used cs4 Fireworkds to create an album.
The problem I found, is that when you use more than one album in the “album book”, the thumbnail for each album does not stay. It only accepts one?

the page i wish to use the slide show for has all pictures pulled into the page as var(pother1,pother2) can I still use this program for the slide show

Using this method in Fireowrks, is it possible to make a slide show such as this that plays swf animations in each slide instead of just static images?
