   Hi,
   how many image format type did Mono SlideShow support? it looks only support JPG format, it's right?
   I am mading a slideshow album, the big image is JPG format and the thumbnail is GIF format.
   I have the prothem to show the thumbnails. But I don't want to convert GIF into JPG becase they already been using every where on my webste.
   is there anyway for display the GIF image on SlideShow?

   Hi wei,

   Monoslideshow was made to work in Flash Player 7. Flash7 does only support dynamic loading of (non-progressive) .JPG files and .SWF files. So either you have to place your .GIF files in a .SWF, or you have to convert the .GIF files to .JPG. There are a lot of batch process image convertors around that can help with this process.

   Hi,
   In Flash there have a way to display to GIF files, here is a way:
   in flash create a text area made it as "Dynamic Text", name it "img_txt", then write this script "<font color=blue>img_txt.htmlText="<img src='headerLogo.gif'>";</font>"

   Ok I found a way to display the GIF or PNG image in the slideshow:
   As I know that slideshow support SWf file, so I create a 100x100 swf file for display the thumbnail image, in that swf I only create a "Text" area made it 100X100 and "Dynamic Text" and named it "img_txt". Then write 1 line script "<font color=blue>img_txt.htmlText="<img src='"+_root.img+"''>";</font>"
   save this swf as "thum.swf"

   and here is the XMl code:
   <font color=green><b>
   <album thumbnail="images/albumThumbnail.jpg" title="Example album" description="Example description" imagePath="" thumbnailPath="">
   <img src="bigimages/big.jpg" thumbnail="swf/thum.swf?img=small.gif" title="Example image" description="Example description" />
   </album>
   </b></font>

   sorry 1 more thing to be change:
   on the flash thum.swf
   the script code should be
   <font color=blue>
   img_txt.htmlText="<img src='"+img+"''>
   </font>
   enjoy :)
