Details: This slideshow displays .jpg images with text and titles, and will look similar to the following example (with number buttons) on your Allwebco template homepage.
Mobile devices and non-Flash browser notes:
This application includes detection for non-Flash enabled browsers. In mobile devices and browser that do not support Flash, only the "homeflash1.jpg" will be displayed as a static image.
Setup the first slide image and caption:
The homepage (index.html) Flash changer is showing 5 .jpg images with a title, text area, link text, and link for each slide. These 5 images are in the "text-slideshow" folder and are 850 x 300 pixels each. You can replace "homeflash1.jpg" through "homeflash5.jpg" with your .jpg images to update the homepage.
In the "text-slideshow" folder edit the "flash-slideshow.txt". There is a title?, text?, linktext? and link? for each slide. Edit the text following the "=" for each slide. Example: Edit the following for slide #1:
&title1=Your Title
&text1=Your Text
&linktext1= Click here text
&link1=yourpage.htm
In the extras folder there is a "flash-slideshow-BACKUP.txt" if you need a new copy of the "flash-slideshow.txt".
Changing the font face:
Three font choices and a "notext" slideshow version are included. Edit the "homeflash.js" in the "text-slideshow" folder to change the font face. Click visual below:
Button colors:
Black or white buttons can be used. Edit the "homeflash.js" in the "text-slideshow" folder to change the button color. Click visual below:
Background color and border:
The changer background color and border can be edited in the template .css files. Edit the ".homeflash" class in your css file.
Adding or removing a slide or changing image dimensions or speed:
This application only supports 5 slides and 850 x 300 pixels sized images. The speed is set in the programming level and can not be changed. If you require a custom edit you can contact Allwebco Templates.
Images or text are not working:
If you have replaced the images in the "text-slideshow" folder and they are not showing in the slideshow, here are some possible reasons.
- Do not save these .jpg images as "progressive". Be sure to save them as "standard" .jpg images. Try re-saving these images using a "save as" and be sure to select "standard".
- You did not flatten the image layers before saving the .jpg file.
- You have pasted new code incorrectly in the "flash-slideshow.txt". In the extras folder there is a "flash-slideshow-BACKUP.txt" if you need a new copy of this file.
- See also the images not showing after an edit support page.
- You have edited the wrong images or the template is not unzipped properly.
- If this problem is after uploading click here.
- If you are missing one image, recheck all your image names in the "text-slideshow" folder. They should all be lowercase and be named "homeflash1.jpg" through "homeflash5.jpg".
- If you require a new download you can contact us.
Can I change the buttons?
All Image-Text Slideshow buttons are coded in the Flash .swf file. This option is not included. You can contact us if you require a custom modification.
