Slideshow with multiple object states

Harrison Goodman Feb 14, 2012 1:35 PM

I'm trying to create a slideshow using multiple images. What I'd like to do is having certain images rotate after 2 seconds, others after 3 seconds, and other after 4 seconds to create a stream of motion with the small square images. I currently have each square as a multi state object, and have set certain ones to 2, 3 and 4 seconds with the overlay creator (auto play and cross-fade are selected). However, when I view it in the Content Viewer, only one image is switching to the next state.

Is it not possible to have multiple slideshows within one screen? Would one way around this be to set the entire group to one MSO, set it to switch every 1 or 2 seconds and leave certain images in as an extra state if I want them to rotate an extra second or two after the others?

Thanks.

There are known issues with MSOs right now. Hopefully with the new content viewer things will improve.

Known issues as in they will work when the .folio is created or as in you shouldn't be using it because it won't work?

Because when I bring up the preview on the overlay panel, they seem to be working fine.

There is a known issue with the current version of the Adobe Content Viewer that's in the store. What you're describing is a known bug in which the timing of auto playings MSOs is broken. If you use the Viewer Builder to build a new custom version of the Adobe Content Viewer, your MSOs should work in the iPad viewer the same way they work in the desktop viewer. If you can't use the Viewer Builder to build a custom viewer, you'll have to wait until the new version of the viewer is approved.

Is it possible that I have the same problem today?
Not exactly the same because the preview via Content Viewer on desktop works fine while on the iPad only one of the four slideshows runs properly.

If you are previewing in Adobe Content Viewer on your iPad then you still have the old version of the app with the problem. The new version is in review with Apple at the moment.
