How do I...?

Make a Slideshow

Tip: AutoPlay Media Studio 8 now contains a SlideShow object that can also be used for this functionality.

The purpose of a slideshow is to display images at a predetermined rate. In AutoPlay Media Studio, this is accomplished by creating a project with one page per image you wish to display.

  1. On every page in your project, create one image object containing the appropriate image.

  2. Create the following action in the On Show event of every page in your project:

Page.StartTimer(5000); --fires the timer once every 5 seconds.

  1. Create the following action in the On Timer event of every page in your project:

Page.Navigate(PAGE_NEXT);

The only page that does not have this action is the last page, because there are no more pages to jump to.

  1. Create the following action in the On Show event of your last page:

Page.StopTimer(); --stops the timer

Note: The On Timer and On Show events are found by right-clicking on a blank space on the page and choosing Actions.
