FRONTPAGE – ADOBE FLASH
Help for setting up a slide show on Home Page of my Website.
I am operating a web site designed with FRONTPAGE. Now I would like to add a
slide show on the home page of that site. But, I frank speaking still do not
know how to do and therefore am searching for detailed advices in how to
create successfully such thing.
For my show there would have to be considered the following conditions:
1. No. of slides > unlimited.
2. Start of show automatically when home page opens.
3. Pictures shown should pop up to larger size when pointed by mouse and
return to original size when mouse pointer is moved off them.
4. As long as picture is pointed slide show should not continue to next slide.
5. As soon as pointer is taken off slide show should continue with next slide.
6. Together with picture should come up a programmable slogan, text
normally, programmed to the theme of picture.
7. If slogan is clicked related detail page of same or other web site should
come up.
8. When that page is closing after home page with slide show should come
back and slide show should continue.
9. Is ADOBE’s FLASH the right thing to work on and if yes, how?

That's a very detailed, complex set of specifications - I don't there's a
packaged slide show script that will do all of that.

You can definitely do all of that with Flash. As far as how, you'll need to
learn Flash, or hire someone who knows how.

It's probably possible to make a slide show that does all of that with HTML
and JavaScript. Again, you'd need to know JavaScript or find someone who
does.

A better alternative might be to relax your specifications a lot and choose
one of the many packaged slide show scripts available in either Flash or
JavaScript. Even going that route, it will be a pretty big project.
