| Hi guys and gals... Happy Thanksgiving! Now, back to work, right? Yikes!
First time questioner, and I think I've done my due diligence on searches,
etc, but...
I am getting back into Flash usage after a few years off, so I am pretty
rusty. I'm stepping on the Modern Photo Slideshow template that comes
with CS3, and am almost done! I've resized, deconstructed the god-awful
controller down to something simple and elegant, added all my client's 27
images, set the publisher to play=true...
BUT, I can't seem to break the code: I'm trying to get it to start in
Autoplay=1 mode (play on download), but it keeps skipping the first frame. I've
tried quite a few very simple code tweaks, like changing various zeroes to
ones, but can't seem to find the rosetta stone.
If I simply add a null frame to the beginning, so that image 1 is at frame 2,
it goofs up the framecount, as well as the looping elegance. I guess that would
be fine, if I could figure out the proper syntax for making the framecount
display (i.e.: 1 of 27) equal to framecount-1 to compensate for the null frame
at the beginning. However, that 's just a Big Hammer method of solving my
problem. Surely there is a more effective and proper way?
Summary: All I really want it to do is start in autoplayStatus=1
without blowing past the first image. Anyone know if this is a simple code
tweak? I'm so close, I'd hate to switch to a different template, as the client
loves what I've currently got.
Thanks so much!
