Slideshow in FP

[tech27]

What would be the best way to have a slideshow presentation (with audio and
commentary) on my webpage? I've made many Powerpoint slide shows, but I
want to be sure that when I finish the presentation people can view it from
my webpage.

What should I use to create the slideshow, and is there anything else I need
to know about getting it on the site and running?

Thanks

Thanks. I followed the instructions and saved the files as a web page. Then
I uploaded that directory to my server, and created a hyperlink from one of
the pages to that folder. I must be missing something because it's not
working.

What is the exact syntax of the path I need to use, and what file do I point
to?

Thanks

tech27,

First of all, are you using FrontPage or Publisher? If FrontPage, I would go
to that forum and ask your question, as I believe there are 'slideshow'
functions or capabilities that are specific to FP that you won't find in
Publisher. I don't use FP...

Secondly, if you have added 'audio and commentary' then it may be that it
just taking a long time to load...or download, so perhaps if you post back
you might explain what you mean by 'it is not working', and more specifics
as to what you have tried.

Thirdly, I would suggest that you go back and review the thread Downloadable
Files you started on 11/23/04 where it was explained to you how to write the
'exact syntax of the path'. I can do no better than Don and David Bartosik
did then. You can also review whether you want your 'slide show' to download
or open in the browser.

I'm using Publisher. Sorry about that. I used FP for a long time so it's
just a habit.

No audio yet. I just did a short 3 slide presentation to test it.

Thirdly, I would suggest that you go back and review the thread

Thanks. I'll try that.

the link needs to point to the file name of the home page, the home page
files URL. The folder you upload the to is not the proper URL.
