I'm wanting to create a slideshow that isn't the standard fade in/out job. I
stumbled upon this site today: http://www.tonygarcia.com and got sweaty with

Has anyone seen this effect before? Can anyone offer suggestions on how to do
it? Direct me to a tutorial that would help? Give me their own just like it
;) ...

Thanks much!

its a filmstrip interface... I don't know of any published tutorials on

finished swf is barely 2k in size. All images are loaded in from the
outside. Tony's is more elegant...

In my implementation you have a filmstrip container under a mask...
individual images are loaded into the filmstrip and the filmstrip clip
is just slid back and forth under the mask...

Final version is not yet posted, but here is a prelim...

Hi,

It do really look cool :)
As far as i known, Flash SlideShow Builder(developed by Wondershare)
may help you do this, you have beyond 200 transition effects. Just get
it a try from http://www.flash-slide-show.com

Regards.

flash 8 has a blur function - could be done with that. or could be a blurred
version of each photo created separately and placed on top of the sharp version
- then just masked out for the current photo.

good luck,
