Trans Slide Show (free extension)

Regards
Kenny

No, the extension preloads the images. If the next slide image is not fully preloaded yet, then the current slide will just remain longer in view until the next one is loaded.
But do you have the latest version? Because the preloading mechanisme has been enhanced in version 1.0.2.

Thank you for these nice comments!
I'm glad you like the extension.

Thanks for a wonderful extension! It looks great, I love the fading transitions, and it saved me oodles of time. There's one thing it does on IE 6 for PCs that I don't know if it can be fixed or if I've done something wrong. I've got a slide show that starts playing when the page loads, and I've also put buttons in with stop, forward and reverse behaviors. But when I change directions with the buttons I get a blank loading image (even when all the images are fully-loaded). Is this because of the transitions? Is there anything I can do to fix it? You can see the slide show at:
I can't get the slide show to work. The default base image is not the image I want to use. Can you offer a suggestion?

Hi Lori,
Please send me an email with more details, and I will help you the best I can.

Hi Jackie,
I looked at your page (nice!) with IE6 on W2K Pro, bur I don't see the problem you describe here.
But maybe if you can give me more details so I can reproduce the problem, I can help you.
Please contact me via email if you would like me to try and help you in any way.
Regards, Marja
I can't get hit to work!!!! Can anyone please help?

The page doesn't know which IMG tag to use as the base image for the slideshow.
A quote from your page:
<img src="images/slideshow/JK0001.jpg" width="450" height="300" align="absbottom">
You need to give the IMG tag a unique NAME attribute, in your case 'slides', as this is the name you've used in the Trans Slide Show function calls.
Thanks Marja, but it's still not working?!?!
I know i'm close, but something's still not right.

Got it! Thanks so much! Sorry about the stupidity on my end!

I have built the slideshow, but I get an error msg in IE. It says 'Stack overflow at line: 0'. What does this mean and how can I solve/fix it?
Any help would be great.
Cheers

Can you point me to an URL where the problem is showing?
Marja,
I did exactly as the instructions said but it does not seem to be working. No error messages either. My webpage is not dynamic just basic HTML. Does this make a difference? Thanks.

Hey Marja,
I got it working. Apparently and this just may be my program, but it does not like image files that have spaces or dashes in the name. Example bird-robin.jpg. So I changed them all to example birdrobin.jpg and it works fine now! Great program!! Thanks!
Instead of using jpg, gif, or other images is there a way that I can use flash swf files?? I tried using my flash files but it doesn't work. Other than that the images work well!
If anyone knows ways around this please respond.
Thanks,
John
Great piece of software.
It took 5 min to have the whole thing perfectly working.
Thanks Marja!
Is it possible to use this slide-show in a template?
I can't apply the beahvior in the body-tag in my html-page. Or should i do it in the dwt-file??

Please read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) found here:
I thought I had this working but I can't seem to replicate. My goal was to not have the slideshow play automatically upon the page loading but rather associate indicators (e.g. play & stop images) to play & stop the slideshow when the user chooses.
Please let me know.
Thanks, Ashley
Great extension and it works a treat! Just one quick question.... is it possible to add hyperlinks to each individual image? Thanks
hello,
I am having trouble using this extension. For some reason I can not fill in the field "Base Image". It does not allow me to put in the first image to start with and so I can't do the rest of the effects. It only allows me to browse and add the next images. I am using Dreamweaver cs4.
Must the image be in a layer only or can it be in a table?
Thank you in advance.

I must say this was a very easy extension to use. I thought I would have problems getting it to work after reading some of the reviews but I got it going right out of the box. Nice transitions as well. Adding hyperlinks and sound would be sweet but can't beat free if you are just looking to build a nice little slide show with some neat transition FX for your site!
this won't install, the directions say I need Dreamweaver 4 or higher... I have Dreamweaver CS4
I really like your trans slide extension and the only thing missing to it is the ability to add custom botton's i'm still tying to get around this and im sure i will the reason im stuck with this transition is because i dont really like the lack of transitions on the linked slide show plugin so until i get passed the links i think your trans slide is perfectly simple
P.s

I installed the extension, inserted the first image, and applied the Trans Slide Show Extension
but the window that opened cut off the bottom two fields: "Image Source File:" and "Show Image Transition:". The window cannot be resized, so I was unable to continue.
