Hi guys I was wondering how do you create a slideshow in dreamweaver cs5, I was watching a guy do it in dreamweaver cs4 but i could not find the flash elements panel.

Thanks

DW doesn't have native ability to do this, but you can find free code for such things by looking into some of the jQuery demos, or by using the code here - http://www.highslide.com.

For commercial slideshows, my personal favorite is SlideShowMagic from ProjectSeven - http://www.projectseven.com.

Hi,

as Murray said: DW doesn't have native ability to do this, BUT, there are some DW-slideshow-widgets you could use. Last time I looked fore them I found three different slideshows.

Here the lnik where you can get the browser: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/widgetbrowser/

You might consider using flash and the plug in from slideshowpro - its very professional and easy to update and modify.

Do a Google search on "jQuery Slideshows" Behold! A wonderland of slideshow plug-ins!

Cool this is about jQuery slide-shows is that they all work basically the same way, so once you go through the learning curve of implementing one you'll be able to use any of them. This way you don't have to be locked in to a particular look. You can use what will look best for each site.

Enjoy!
