Good afternoon,
I am doing a site with a slideshow - the only issue I am having is sometimes that they are overlapping. and I am getting a mini picture in the corner of some
can anyone give me a solution to this - or a better slideshow to use?

Thank you!!

First thing to check is your folder of images.
This action works best if all your images in the folder are all the same dimensions. Take the size of the largest one and make all the rest the same size - there is no reason why the actual picture cannot be placed in the centre of the ‘canvas’ with transparent areas around it to make up the extra space.
I suspect that a couple of the images you are using are nowhere near the same size of the others - if you open them all and check dimensions and resolutions to make them all the same you should be fine.

After looking a bit closer into this you really need to have your slideshow container have a bg colour because the next image loads behind the one currently being viewed and if there are transparent sections to your image then the next picture can be seen behind.
Which may spoil the effect on a page that has a background image like yours!
What about the moo: Slideshow Gallery also from Weaver example http://www.deltadzine.net/test/fsspagea.html - but give it a few mins because it is uploading.

BTW Julie that bg image diapercircle.gif is HUGE at 1.7Mb - you will get smaller/better by using a jpeg with a bit of compression. Gifs are really for large areas of flat colour - not photos.
Also use the bg proportional version of the action.

Just resaved it and got it down to 168k easily, with no loss of quality - remember it is a bg image!

Experiment - you try it until you have reduced it as much as you feel doesn’t lose quality but keep in mind it is a background image. It is not there to be examined closely.
Also I would fade it a bit more - its a bit too distracting from the content on the page(s) which is the main message. By all means use it somewhere else if you want people to be able to see it in detail but at a reasonable size.

Which Julie?
The one I suggested was by Weaver, not Walter, at his coastal rugs site but if you have his other Moo stuff do you not have this one as well?

OK - sorry…
THe one by weaver - are there instructions out there for this?
Walter had posted instructions at one time - I thought it was for the moo slideshow - that is where my confusion lays.
Thank you again
