Update : 15 July 2008 – New Features :

  1. “photos.xml” and “settings.xml” are now sent trought flashvars(only if you want). The two variables are xmlPath for the path to the photos xml file, and settingsPath for the path to the settings xml file
  2. Fixed the bug regarding the captions for the first image(see SVHDesigns first comment)
  3. Added the Ken Burns effect, or something similar..You can disable this effect from the “settings.xml” file. Here is how my effect is working :
    • some larger images(larger than the slideshow size) will not appear in their normal position, but moved. When viewing they will move back, towards the initial position(_x: 0,_y: 0)
    • other larger images(larger than the slideshow size) will appear in their normal position, and when viewing, they will move in the opposite direction
    • the images that have the same size as the slideshow will zoom inside when viewing
Features:
  • unlimited number of photos
  • title text
  • description text
  • hyperlinks linked to every photo
  • great masking transition tool:
    • 22 shapes included(shapes are free vectors downloaded from vecteezy.com

  • slideshow
  • ken burns effect
  • next/previous/play/pause buttons

..and yes. A fade transition would be more than great for the next version!

could you tell me what the fix was for the first caption? I just purchased and am having the same issue.

Posted 3 months ago

Yes the fix for the first caption is added. You can’t have the same issue

It is having the issue if you look here http://www.finedayphotography.com/recent.html once you come back to the first image (stasha and lesley) the caption isnt there the 2nd time around. No matter how many pictures I use it has this issue.

Is it possible that when I purchased and downloaded it was an older version and if so can you send me the line(s) of code that fixed the problem?

Also, I seen that v3 was released but it still didnt have the option of doing a simple alpha fade between photos just changed the easing engine being used. Any way you could tell me how to do this?

Hi, I bought your XML slideshow and I’ve got one problem. I’d like to use your slidshow more then one time in a single Flash project. Means I’ve one slideshow with animal images and another slideshow with people images on another frame of the main timeline. And there starts the problems as soon as the second XML slideshow starts the timing of transitions are running confused, even if I don’t show the first XML slideshow anymore.

hey petterro, i managed to create the .mov file…however it has 340mb.. Do you have any idea were i could upload this so you could download it?

Posted 2 months ago

Don t wary about me anymore cause I got to change the file the way I need it by myself. Just make sure for the other people that buy your file and might have a Mac, try to upload a .mov tutorial. It s gonna work on both platforms. Have a good one and Thanks again! for this kind of file !!! In my opinion $10 is just too cheap.
