This very advanced slide show lets your web page visitors have an extensive control through a small tool bar.

The Background color

The background color will not have any effect on the applet, except for the applet initialization and loading phases.

Selecting Images and URLs

Make sure you have the same number of Images as you have URLs, when specifying images. Don't use images that are too big. Note that these images will be included into the SWF file, and it may swell to enormous proportions. Try modifying the compression setting to decrease the SWF file size.

The border

Here you can enable the border, set the border color and it's thickness.

Slide speed

This setting will set the speed of the slide show.

The controls

You can enable and disable several features of the slide show: you can hide the tool bar, let it auto slide the slide shows (However, this can always be controlled by the web page visitor), minimize the toolbar or enable or disable the URL's. Note that if you have the URL's enabled, you should disable the tool bar.

Limitations

Due to a limitation in Flash Player 5.0, you can have a maximum of only 200 images in the Flash applet. More than that, and the applet will not work.
