Slide Show Using SWF Quicker Movie

This tutorial will show you how to use Sothinks SWF Quicker in order to create a new slide show movie. I will take you through from start to finish with the hope to make your learning curve easier than mine was.

The starting point is to create a slide show nearly identical to the one we built previously using the slide show template. Once this is complete we will have much more flexibility with what can be done.

Once again we will start with pictures are slides that have been created externally. All of my pictures are of the same size, it is much easier to work with them that way.

The first step that is to launch best WF quicker and import the pictures into library by using the file import a library function.

SWF quicker
for creating a flash slideshow animation
will be creating an image that you see
on the screen in front of you and
and for this project were using the
graphic interface within swifter
rather than the slideshow whizzer
template the wizard template is very
capable I encourage you to use it
wherever possible
however in this case we've decided not
to use it because with like to add a
special ice
page turning effect at UC as well as the
need to hyperlink
each to the slight into more detailed
information what's behind him
suits
for the first step to doing in in
undertaking this project is to go ahead
and create the slight externally using a
tool such as Photoshop
I put together my eight slides I've
slight
I've size them all the same and then if
you can notice that there's a
the gray lines on on the right side and
this is how we generate the page: stern
look
when we get into the tool so I've got my
slides created
and now I go ahead and initiate the
process
by importing them into the library
within swifter I'm using
that capability K I've set this up as a
new movie
and my slides are 500 height 320
so get that setup as well I'm gonna put
each and many use a layer for each slide
and each slide is gonna be about five
seconds
from start to through the end up its
webster
transition effect so if I go out to the
sixty tech
insert a frame Act created no the
position for the first slide
cannot drag my first light into the
viewport I used to transform location
to set the actual y coordinates
appropriately
um it's basically looking for the dead
center
so I use the the halfway point plus some
some overlap for Mike from my pages so
I've got the first light located
and it ready to go in fact I could click
on the the transition you see the
the slideshow at this point I'm so go
ahead and continue by adding a second
slide
insert a layer novel the higher the
later
players a more visible it it years so
I'll
a move my lair down because I'm gonna
want that slide
I'm logically behind the first I'll come
out another 60
insert the frame and I've got this sir
section here
I'm now I begin my transition
about though one second before the end
of the slights aFAIK
come in here and I'll insert I'll
convert
this particular spot to a blank chief
rain
and then come out here insert my second
picture as we did before I'll change to
transform
250 the appropriate exact positioning on
the screen that I need for that
video for that that slide I whilst
the menopause the video here and go
ahead
into that process for my remaining
slight add a layer
go out to the end of the time for that
layer but a frame and
insert a blank keyframe 12 up
tix before the end to the previous slide
and
and position it that way go ahead and do
that and I'll be back in a sec
okay have gone in at all the rest at my
slides
I'm to be repetitive I go to the very
end
and insert frame and then I insert a
keyframe
at the point where I want to slide to
start showing up so for each slide
I have them slowing up showing up in
their frame
you point up if I for example
on visualize where a you know this layer
nine is blank here
but then it shows up year Mike Blair 9
is a special air
I've used this as a as a place for me to
do the page turn affect to
close the book again and start over so
that there's a smooth transition the
very end this well
from a sequencing point of view
the next step is to put the hyperlinks
Indy to the slides
before at the transition effect so I
need to put it in
one-time for each each the individual
slide
so we'll do that next and then to our
transition and we'll have a
working slideshow saucy on the next
video
thanks
this is part 2 abusing so pick just up
you have quicker for creating a flash
animation slideshow
using the movie capability within the
product
what we're going to do in this step is
we're at the hyperlinks teacher the
slide
and then we'll come back and but the
provide the transition back
I'm gonna go to my lair one slide it all
started a
the first yr for slot click on the
on the slide and right mouse to convert
it to assemble
you need to use a button simple as a way
of designating
'em an active i din that can have a
hyperlink associated with it
so go ahead and use the convert button
symbol nah come down below
could be action layer and I can
associate actions with that but
this case I use a release and then the
function
get URL
and the the page that I want the slide
to go to
when somebody clicks on
I can tell
at by clicking the checkbox it says
that's fine
I'm also gonna make a copy of it so that
I could pasted in
when I add it to the other slides I go
to my next slide
I love you the first one to make sure
I'm in the right place
click right mouse click convert to
symbol
make it a button symbol and add
the hyperlink the link text and
change it to the page that I wanted to
go to K
I'm gonna go
had positive here cannot do that for the
rest to the slides in my slideshow
guy
credit hack thanks for all of my pages a
good time to test it
that contested by using the preview
capability
and noticeable and symbol indicates I've
got
got the trans the hyperlinks created
adult SM once I'm live on the web site
to make sure that the leaks occurred
now I want to put my page turn
transition effect I have much slideshow
completed
this is where the motion tweens in
some other dislike you please become
very a powerful and
in useful on for the first lied I'm
gonna turn
start to page-turning at about the the
43rd
forty yet 43rd frame and that the first
thing I do is just like that
frame right mouse click and convert it
to a keyframe the key frames are the
answer to the frame two references
between the transitions
on now I'm gonna go to the very end
and in this trial say the same because
we haven't started during the paycheck
now I'll go to the very end and convert
this to a keyframe as well need to click
it again
and bring up the transform screen so I
wanna
transformer to on the out outcome
through that page turning motion now
I've experimented with a bit
and I've come up with primers that I
like for doing that I'm
using X -10 while
150 and and and
a love -20 and then a new wit up 20
percent
in No
the paycheck
up here in this in this fashion I'm
what I can do that issues what is
consult a motion tween an upgrade a
motion tween
between the two frames and notice the
Aero comes into place to show me that in
effect on you could see
the different status date is the ages
turns
if we go to our review portion conceited
page-turning very nicely to use the
motion tweens and kinda starting and
ending frame
and then the trans form to create image
changes from
one state to the next again the
processes
I'll come down to by the end my neck
sprain
click up up point to start to convert
that to a keyframe
come in here and convert the ending
picture took efrain
selected again so the transform layers
available to me
and then set my new transform parameters
again when a posse here and then I'll
resume in just a sec
once I've done that for all the slides I
have done that
and now much like she's ready for
publication and you can see the page
turner fat in the preview
I found that Deacon Burke frame to
keyframe
was by far the simplest way to take
steps like convert all
change my final transformation and then
create the motion tween
thanks for watching
