"Create image slide shows, either using simple image swaps (all browsers), or optionally with advanced transitions from one slide to the next (IE4+ on PC only)."

Trans Slide Show can be used to create image slide shows, either using simple image swaps (all browsers), or optionally with advanced transitions from one slide to the next (IE4+ on PC only).

Features:

  • specify the images to be used in the slide show and their display order (it's best to use images with the same width/height);
  • the slide show will preload the next/previous slide image while the current slide is visible;
  • specify the pause between slides;
  • possibility to use navigation controls (e.g. text links or images) to move to the next/previous slide;
  • possibility to let the slide show auto-play;
  • possibility to use advanced transition effects from one slide to the next (IE4+ on PC only, other browsers will simply swap the base image). There are 25 different transition effects available, including a fade effect.

Marja Ribbers-de VroedWell, what's there to tell?

I worked as a software engineer for a well-known Dutch software company for about 10 years. But then I decided I did not want to work there anymore.
Since then, I've been working with my husband in our own company.

I "discovered" web development early 2000, and I soon found out that I could actually create my own extra (DHTML) features in Dreamweaver by building custom extensions.
My first extension was Cross-browser AutoScroller, but I've developed several other ones since then.

Written by Andy Laverdiere, Jr. on July 14, 2010

I must say this was a very easy extension to use. I thought I would have problems getting it to work after reading some of the reviews but I got it going right out of the box. Nice transitions as well. Adding hyperlinks and sound would be sweet ...

hello,I am having trouble using this extension. For some reason I can not fill in the field 'Base Image'. It does not allow me to put in the first image to start with and so I can't do the rest of the effects. It only allows me to browse and add the ...

Does this work with DW CS3??
Written by Ashley Freedman on July 11, 2007

I thought I had this working but I can't seem to replicate. My goal was to not have the slideshow play automatically upon the page loading but rather associate indicators (e.g. play & stop images) to play & stop the slideshow when the user ...
