Live SlideShowPro slide show

By Dennis Guten on July 19, 2009 1 Comments

Go to my family blog, the rooty jr. and gush site to see a live version of the SlideShowPro working. The program works from within Flash.

This is one with newer family photos from 2008. I will be adding some 2009 photos to the same slide show in another tab soon.

Slide Show Pro is a Flash based player that is really customizable and fun to use

Slide Show Pro

I recently had to modify an online slide show for a site I was working on and had the pleasure of working with a shareware program called Slide Show Pro.

This software has a Flash based (.swf file) player that interacts with a standard XML file and a folder of images to create a very classy looking player that can be easily modified by the user.

I liked it so much I went and purchased the Flash version yesterday for the reasonable price of $29. It was easy to purchase with my PayPal balance or you can use a credit card.

You install it into Flash and then it is available as a component from within Flash. You just drag an instance of the player onto the stage and size it how you want. There are dozens of options available to customize the player via a simple drop down menu interface and the changes show up live on the stage.

Example of a player in Slide Show Pro

Making a folder of images interact with the player and the XML file is super easy and they have video help and instructions for the whole operation. You don’t even have to re-size the images before making it because the player adjusts all the images to the size of player you set.

I really love this program. Please check out the site and try the demo if you want to play around without committing to the $29 price.

I have already used it today on a site I am designing and it saved me many hours that I would have spent setting up a gallery by hand.

If you try one yourself, give me a link to the player so we can check out your example.

Leopard installed on laptop

By Dennis Guten on February 1, 2008 No Comments

On Tuesday night I installed Mac OS X Leopard on my Powerbook G4 laptop.

I wish I could say it went 100% without casualties, but nope, not true.

The installation went just fine from the upgrade dvd that came with mom’s new Mac Mini.

A few minor shareware apps stopped working, but the main casualties I have are Fireworks MX and Flash MX. I don’t do a lot of work in Flash, but I work daily in Fireworks.

I have other programs with feature sets similar to Fireworks, but nothing that will open the already created .png graphics files I have with the original layers intact.

This is a problem since I have tons of those, for work and personal use.

I’m currently trying the 30-day trial of the Fireworks CS3 program and may have to break down and buy the program! Oy.
