SimpleSlideShow
This flash slideshow loads external jpgs and fades between them after a configurable amount of time. The slideshow relies on a server side coded page (ASP, PHP, etc...) to count the number of jpg files within a specified directory. The page then passes three configurable variables to the swf file via flashvars.
- img_path - path to the jpg files
- totalpic - total # of jpgs within img_path
- img_timer - duration in seconds to display image
The flash source can be easily modified and improved upon. The automatic rotation of images can be disabled to make it a strictly manual controlled slideshow. The downloadable source file includes everything needed to get the slideshow up and running. Including the Flash fla & swf files, sample jpgs, and ASP & PHP pages that enumerate jpgs within a directory.
This tutorial (PDF) was followed to create the simpleslideshow. I've made some modifications including the addition of the server side coded pages which dynamically enumerate the jpgs and allow you to configure the slideshow timer.
