Slide show with Lingo

[frasier13 webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I am producing a linear presentation that requires me to display a series of images or slide shows throughout various sections of the presenation.
There may be 10 images or there may 100 images depending on the section. Once the final image in each section has been reached I require the presention to conrinue on it's linear course.
Can any one offer any help as to how I can achieve this with Lingo??

Many kind regards
Dave

you can embedd multiple movies in a projector so they run in
sequence,that's an approach I never used.

with a series of external director files, each with 10 to 100 images,
you can have a go to movie command in the last frame of each movie.

Either hard code the next movie name in the script, or lookup the next
movie in a global play list variable.


on exitframe -- simple
go to movie "theoneafterme"
end




---setting up list at initial movie start

global playlist, currentMovieNum
currentMovieNum = 0
playlist = ["fisrtone", "anotherfile", "finalmovie"]



on exitframe -- last frame script using list
global playlist, currentMovieNum
currentMovieNum = currentMovieNum + 1
go to movie playlist[currentMovieNum]
go to movie "theoneafterme"
end

Hi Dave

The best method for a slide show, is to have a single Bitmap member in the
cast and swap them on run-time, I have made many presentations like this and
works awesome!

If you do not know the number of images, use FileXtra / Buddy API to get the
FileList from the Image Folder.. then take the count of that list .. once
you reach the end, reset the counter and loop through.

More to it .. use Cool DM / MM effects for transition!

I like it!
