does anyone have experience editing a slideshow??

Jun 11, 2008 10:02 PM

I'm using Fireworks CS3 and had no problem creating a new slideshow ( http://www.mountainwfc.ca/gallery.htm), however adding in new photos is problematic. I followed the online help, by adding new photos, and new album books, however whenever I do, I lose the flash functionality between photo changes. Also, sometimes a new photo will display over top of the previous photo with the one behind showing at the sides (if wider).
Although the online help doesn't seem to specifically state to, I re-upload the modified slideshow.xml file along with the new photos/thumbs.
FYI, the Fireworks Player I'm using is the standard Player - White (Flash).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Ed

    I have found that it's sometimes easier to take a good look at the xml file.

    I'm no coder but when you already have a working slide show, it's often
    fairly simple to see the bit that is different and alter it accordingly.
