This was the simplest sounding method after many searches but is there another way? I thought there was even a simpler way. Can I just make a media folder and make a link to the slideshow in the folder? Any other suggestions?
 
Your suggestion won't work. It will let them download the file then play on their computer, you mentioned showing it in a webpage. Copy this code and use it, just replace (emptyReference!) with whatever your file name is

Code:
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"[/URL] height="100" width="100">
				<param name="src" value="(EmptyReference!)" />
				<param name="autoplay" value="true" />
				<param name="controller" value="false" />
				<embed height="100" pluginspage="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"[/URL] src="(EmptyReference!)" type="video/quicktime" width="100" controller="false" autoplay="true"></embed> 
			</object>
 
<embed> is a proprietary Netscape tag. Better off without it. Elizabeth Castro has published a great article on A List Apart on how to use a standard <object> element to embed all the different movies. I recommend using her method, even if it seems a bit longer.
