How to create a slide show

[waydown]

Hi,
I wish to create a slide show on a web page. More specifically I would like for a part of the web page to provide information, slide across and disappear, and then for another frame to slide into place giving different information, and so on. How would I go about this? I would be grateful for all help.

There are several ways to accomplish this:

1. Flash Animation. Using Macromedia Flash create a flash movie that has your slideshow and embed it into the webpage. This if course requires flash knowledge, and a somewhat static slideshow as changing it would mean recreating the flash animation file every time there's a change to the slideshow content.

2. Javascript. Load your Slideshow content into a file and have Js read and display it. This would require JS knowledge and can be quite laborious and code intensive to create to get the sliding animations.


3. A combination of Flash and a server side language such as PHP. PHP can generate an XML file that is read by a flash slideshow player that creates the slideshow dynamically.

This has the advantage that the flash movie does not need to be recreated. Just Update the source of information for PHP to create the XML and the slideshow would be updtaed as well.


What you choose will depend on what is available to you and what you are comfortable with.

Googling will also yield many scripts that can self generate the slideshow.
