Hi,
I’m trying to create an animated image to use on a home page. I’ve made a flash movie in Photoshop CS3, comprising 4 frames of 5 seconds each.
What I want to do now is make each frame clickable to redirect to a separate URL within the site. I’ve tried with slices in CS3, but this only gives me one URL for all four frames… any suggestions gratefully received.

do it in flash rather than cs3
you can then make the movie/annimation and assign each frame with the url of which you want.
hope this helps.

If you don’t have Flash, there are a number of other applications that will allow you to assemble images and add URLs. You could use the low cost SWF’n’Slide if you simply want to animate from image to image. Try the demo at:

You mean Flash CS3 rather than Photoshop CS3, right? 
This can be done using JavaScript (no plugin required), so there may
well be an action written to do this - but I can’t think what it
might be right now! Anyone got any suggestions?

Here’s one way, if you want a JavaScript solution:
Download the Protaculous action here: <http://freewaypro.com/actions/
downloads/> then decompress and install it.
Make sure the blue CSS button is on in your Freeway design view.
Draw a graphics box, place your first picture in it, and add a link
to it.
With the picture still selected, duplicate it in place (Apple-D, 0,0
offsets).
Update the picture with your next image in the series, and change the
URL.
Continue in this manner until you have a big stack of same-sized
images with links on them.
Drag a selection around one corner, so the entire stack is selected.
Item > Group the stack, then apply the Carousel action to the group.
Set the auto-glide interval (in the Actions palette) to something
reasonable (number of seconds).
Draw a small box next to the stack, select it and the carousel stack,
and group them together (sorry, awful work-around for a carousel
without any visible controls).
Preview or publish. Your images will wait for however many seconds
you specified, and then slide over to show the next option. A click
on a visible image will navigate to the URL you set.

Thanks for all the help - I purchased SWF’n’Slide, and it works a treat!
