My cousin Jeff needed a site to show off his cool craft creations, so I made him one! If you happen to need a skilled welder, and fabricator and mechanic to build anything you can imagine for your home or business, he’s the man to contact.

In principle, you can use the slide show in any situation, because it uses a ‘magic’ string to get the images, links etc it needs to load.

The compiled .swf is just under 4kB and uses a config_slideshow.txt file to get itself started.

The slideshow.swf looks for config_slideshow.txt in the same directory (as itself) and loads some configuration variables from it. (Don’t rename slideshow.swf or config_slideshow.txt.) The config_slideshow.txt will look like this:

url=http://your domain.com/flash_slideshow/&delay=6&suppressLoadInfo=false&linkText=Click here to learn more.

The format for the magic string the slideshow will read is:

title of image^http://my domain.com/path_to_image.jpg.gif.png.bmp^http://link when you click the linkText^image description text in simple html or txt#<br>
title of image2^http://my domain.com/path_to_image2.jpg.gif.png.bmp^http://link when you click the linkText^
image description text in simple html or txt#<br>

etc…
You can see the magic string uses carrots “^” and “#<br>” to break into usable data. The order of the elements in the magic strings is important, but you may leave an element blank if you like: “^^”

Here is an example with intentional missing images to show how errors are handled:

Here are the files:

Flash slideshow files and source

Still to do:
back/forward buttons. + configure in config_slideshow.txt file.
Fullscreen button. + on/off in config_slideshow.txt file.
Play music .mp3 or midi with the slideshow. +config_slideshow.txt file controlled.
