Generate Animated Flash slideshows from images
SiteGrinder Pro can generate animated Flash slideshows from folders of images. These can be any size and can appear anywhere on a page.
Users control where slideshows appear and how big they are using placeholder layers with the "-slideshow" hint.
Slideshows are similar to galleries in that they are generated from folders of images. The images are automatically scaled to the size of the slideshow layer.
Slideshows have a variety of timing, effects, and transition settings, including pan, zoom, and crossfade.
Optional slideshow controls allow next/previous/pause/play while Slideshows are running.
Background MP3 music playback is supported.
Unique hyperlinks for each image can set on slideshows.
These features mean that slideshows can do a lot more than simply show a series of photos. They can be used to create small, animated banners that draw the eye on one or more pages, perhaps to promote a sales special or a new addition to a site.
