    I'm very qurious how the swf behaves when photos have different sizes...
    Does the swf resize? Will the photo resize?

    Can I see a slideshow with different photo sizes in action ?

    Hi St3phan,

    You can define what happens when photos have different sizes. You do this by specifying the attribute <strong>imageScaleMode</strong>. it has 5 different settings:

    <ul>
    <li>scaleToFit - scales the image to fit in the slideshow</li>
    <li>scaleToFill - scales the image to fill the whole slideshow</li>
    <li>noScale - leaves the images as they are</li>
    <li>downscaleToFit - only scale to fit if resulting image dimensions will be less than the original</li>
    <li>downscaleToFill - only scale to fill if resulting image dimensions will be less than the original</li>
    </ul>

    Hope this helps.

    I'm having problems with different dimentions, 614x460 is not ok, where as 640X480 is showing up, what is up with that?

    I think the dimensions aren't the problem. Are you sure this file is a non-progressively encoded .jpg ? Are you sure the filename in the XML matches the filename of your image exactly?

    I used 'HP Photosmart Essential' to reduce the size and quality of my photos and make the file sizes smaller, I did this on almost all the images, I tested one troubled image by making it larger in fireworks and sure enough it worked, however I was a little puzzled that there were other files with smaller dimentions that didn't have the same problem. I'm not sure if HP uses the 'non-progressively encoded .jpg' stuff but if it did wouldn't the problem happen with every image that I resized with that tool?
    Thanks

    The thing is, Flash7 doesn't support on-the-fly loading of progressively encoded .jpg files. They have to be non-progressive. So, if HP creates progressively encoded .jpg's, they won't work with Flash7 (and thus Monoslideshow).

    Fair enough, however, does it mean anything that the whole slide show worked fine untill I uploaded everything to my website?

    If that's the case then I think your filenames aren't matching the filenames in your XML. Please remember that Windows is case insensitive and your server (if *nix), probably IS case sensitive. So "image.jpg" isn't the same as "ImAgE.jpg", or "image.JPG".

    Thanks for your help, I just thought I'd let you know how I ended up fixing the problem. It wasn't the size or the dimentions of the photos, I'm not sure what was wrong but I fixed it by opening up all the problemed pictures in fireworks and went to 'save as' and uped the quality of each .jpg, this fixed all the pictures that weren't showing up.

    Hope this helps others.
