    Hello,

    I am confused about how to disable the start-up logo for the slideshow. I have tried the method listed in the instructions to no avail, and I have searched this forum and not found any answers. I am using swfobject 2.0 and this is what my code looks like:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
    <title>Slideshow</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript">
    swfobject.embedSWF("monoslideshow.swf", "monoSlideShow", "500", "500", "9.0.0");
    </script>

    </head>
    <body style="background-color: #000000">
    <div id="monoSlideShow">
    <p style="color: #ffffff">Install flash, and enable javascript.</p>
    </div>
    </body>
    </html>

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Christoph, thank you for the reply. Looking at your code helped me to figure some things out. I have now modified my code and managed to get rid of the start up logo (Yay!) However, the background of my slide show is black and when it first starts it still flashes a white frame for a split second. This is better because the logo no longer appears, but I would still like to eliminate the white frame at the start. Any ideas?

    This is what I changed:

    <script type="text/javascript">

    var flashvars = false;
    var params = {
    showLogo: false
    };
    var attributes = false;

    swfobject.embedSWF("monoslideshow.swf", "monoSlideShow", "500", "500", "9.0.0", flashvars, params, attributes);

    </script>

    Keith,
    my background is light yellow as I like it to have. This is done in the XML (in my case, by The TurningGate's Lightroom Gallery), but you can easily change backgroundColor="F1EDC0" to whatever colour you like.
    Again, if you like to see a working XML, look at my website

    That is what is strange... in my xml I have the background set to black (000000), but when the slideshow first starts it still flashes an empty white frame for a second. I am really confused...

    Yes indeed, same at my site. I tried changing the album background, but that didn't help either. It is clearly a loading thing; when I reload from cache, the white background is more or less invisible; when I reload from server, it is visible much longer.
    My guess is that's something we cannot do anything about, mayby Monokai could enlighten us.

    I have a workaround to shorten the time the unwanted colour is shown - put a black jpg as your first slide (with a very short duration etc.). This is extremly small (just one colour), so it loads quicker than any photo and the white is shown less time.
