    slideshow question

    I have a kind of splitscreen layout. One part is a SWF slideshow I would like to remain running independently (and without starting from the beginning) regardless of user actions opening new pages.
    In other words, I need a slideshow on the right side of the screen running unaffected by changes (loading different pages) on the left side. Is that possible?

    I have noticed that on the page made by Factory Design Labs
    http://products.quark.com/interactivedesigner/
    the SWF banner in the left bottom corner loads anew on every mouseclick.
    P.S. Slightly off topic I have also noticed that in the showcase section, online since march, there is still only a single project: Factory Design Labs Portfolio... with a dead link : (

    Hi, Ganesh,

    the two parts of your project, should they interact with each other?

    If not, you can solve this by putting a presentation in a presentation (via Composition Zones) or by loading an SWF. Let me know if you need more detailed instructions.

    About the showcase, we are still collecting success stories, a few I have already posted in this forum. Once we have enough, compelling stories we will publish them. That said, please make sure to send us your project once finished, we would love to showcase it.

    Best

    slideshow question

    Hi Ganesh

    From what I understand , you are creating a layout that has a self running slideshow on a side of your layout and all the pages have their own interactive elements. Its possible to have this using a Window object , heres how:

    1) On page 1 Create a picture box and make it a Window object -> Window1
    2) Create your swf object or animation on this window
    3) Now , create a script with the Window open action and choose Window1 from the Window drop down
    4) Now select this script that you just craeted as the Page entry script for page 1
    5) Now you can go ahead creating your other pages


    This is how it works. A window object once opened remains open on all pages unless it is closed using the Close window action. Also , any object that is authored on a window object becomes a part of that window object and is independant of any page , so any swf that is playing on a window object will continue playing independant of what page the user is navigating to.

    Hope this helps. Please get back for any queries/clarifications.


    Regards,
    Kabir
