Freeway and Slideshow Pro

Thanks for the tutorial. It seems that SlideShowPro needs some expensive software like “Flash MX 2004 or higher” to run. I hope I am missing something here because $5-600 is a bit scary, especially as Freeway (and what I see of Slideshow) seem such value for money offerings for the amateur do it yourself web designer.

If you use Adobe Lightroom or iPhoto, just buy (or get) the plugin for that. Works great and does the simple slideshow’s in a snap. No separate Flash program required then.

Belated thanks for Bronze Patriot’s suggestion:-

“If you use Adobe Lightroom or iPhoto, just buy (or get) the plugin for that. Works great and does the simple slideshow’s in a snap. No separate Flash program required then.”

Is there a particular iPhoto plugin you suggest - I see there is a “Slide iPhoto Exporter” which sounds like it could do the job. There is also “iPhoto Slideshow 1.0.”

I guess that as a novice, an iPhoto plugin which is best suited for uploading onto a Freeway page is the one I want.

Thanks again.

Hands down, this is the best plugin that works with Aperture and iPhoto! You can do Lightbox, BananAlbum, and MORE!!

The plugins wont upload directly to FW. You have to export your final selection to a folder (I put mine in the same folder as my website, alongside the FW file). Next, publish that folder to the internet in a set folder. Finally, create an iFrame inside FW to link to that published folder on your site.

Hope that helps.

Freeway and Slideshow Pro work perfectly together. The main issue is getting all files into the correct place in your site folder. You should land up with 5 files after making your Slideshow into a .swf file. They are: A folder containing the images; xml file; html file; SWF file and a FLA file (if you’re using Flash and Slideshow Pro together.) All these files need to sit in the site folder with the HTML file for the particlular page that the slideshow appears on.

Freeway will not upload these through it’s own upload, they have to be uploaded manually via FTP (Transmit’s Panic app is good for this)

If you have Slideshows on different pages within your site, you’ll need to create folders for each page. This you do within Freeway. Then place all your Slideshow files into that page folder in your site folder, or upload via FTP into the page folder on your webspace. If you don’t separate each page with folders, the .xml files will not work as they duplicate and therefore need to be placed in separate folders.

Hope that puts you on the right path.
