Hi all. I’m after some advice regarding the creation of photo slideshows that can be easily updated. I’m a freelance designer and, increasingly, my clients are asking that I design & build for them sites that include a photo slideshow that they can update. Ordinarily I’d use a simple XML setup but a lot of my clients are pretty web-illiterate and they find it too complex.
I’ve looked at Slideshow Pro and I like it’s ability to load in images from Flickr (something that’s fairly idiot-proof and easy to use) but, unfortunately, it seems to be limited to just 20 images.
Can anybody help me and point me in the direction of an answer? I should say my actionscript skills are only just above novice.
Maybe this tutorial will help you: http://www.codervods.com/VideoPage.aspx?ID=1045&&category=Adobe%20Flash
Thanks Jeff but that’s not really what I’m after. I can build a perfectly good XML driven photogallery but I’m after something that a client can update via a third party application such as Flickr in a similar way to that employed by Slideshow Pro.
I’ve looked into the same thing, this site
http://fromvega.com/wordpress/2007/05/11/xml-generator-20-php-dom/
has an XML generator so all your guy has to do is upload the images go to a php pageand presto. Though in order to get it to work properly you might have to know some PHP and xml. I don’t know if thats what you wanted, but its a fairly easy alternative
