Flash slideshow tool

Post by alex.barylski »

I'm currently looking into CamTasia and CamStudio. I've also Googled variious other Flash slideshow generators but none meet my needs.

Ideally I can synchronize audio with images and vector drawings, such as text, lines, etc...

Anyone know of anything?

You could write one using Prototype, jQuery, mootools, etc. really easily. It would be easy to run it off an array that has interval timings and image names.

I thought about that...but Ideally I want the display engine to be flash for three reasons:

1) Cool transition effects
2) I would like to add audio and sync it photos -- rather show certain photos after audio clips
3) I really want vector drawn fonts that don't resize when a user changes font size.

I know I can probably play certain audio clips at set times but I'd rather just have everything stored in a single Flash clip file as opposed to manipulating the Flash API and setting the required audio, image files, etc...

EDIT | I recall downloading a simple cut down version of Adobe/MM Flash builder...but I can't find anything quality...

Cheers :)
