Photos must be in a suitable format for
use in the Photo Slideshow template. You can import images in a
variety of formats, but JPEGs typically work best for photographs.
For best results, save photos as JPEGs using an image-editing program.
Images should be 640 x 480 pixels and should be named in a numbered sequence,
for example, photo1.jpg, photo2.jpg, and photo3.jpg.
- Select the layer of photos included
in the example called “picture layer,” and click the trash can icon
to delete it.
- Create a layer by clicking the Insert Layer button, and
name this new layer My Photos.
Make sure that this new layer is the bottom layer.
- Select the first blank keyframe in the My Photos layer,
select File > Import > Import to Stage, and locate
your photo sequence.
- Select the first image in the series, click Open (Windows)
or Import (Macintosh), and click Import.
- Flash recognizes that your
image is part of a series and asks you to import all files in the
series. Click Yes.
Flash places
each image on separate keyframes. If you have more than four images,
all of the other layers must have an equal number of frames. Your
images appear in the Library panel.
- Delete the old images that were included in this
document from the library.
- Change the title, date, and caption at the top for each
image. Replace text as desired.
The template automatically determines how many images
are in your document and indicates which photo you are currently
using.
The Photo Slideshow template also has
a built-in autoplay mode that automatically changes the photo after
a set delay. The template is set to a default delay time of 4 seconds,
but you can change this setting.
- Select the controller component on the Stage.
It is an instance “mc, controller” component.
- Open the Component inspector (Window > Component
Inspector).
The Parameters tab is selected by default.
- Select the delay, and change this value to a new delay
value, in seconds.
- Save and publish your document.
