How to create a slideshow from images in a specific directory?
This require using a bit of script. Here is one sample (it could be done many ways)
In the Multimedia Builder folder create a subfolder named Images and put your images there. Each image has name image1.jpg, image2.jpg etc..
Now run MMbuilder.
Create bitmap object with the first image in it, with label Bitmap
Create Script Object named Script and write this:
count = count+1
number$=CHAR(count)
Image$='<SrcDir>\Images\image' +number$+'.jpg'
FileExist("Image$","exist")
if (exist=0) then
count = 1
number$=CHAR(count)
Image$='<SrcDir>\Images\image' +number$+'.jpg'
end
ReplaceImage("Bitmap","Image$")
ScriptTimer("Script","2000")
Now in the page properties open the Script on page start and write just
ScriptTimer("Script","100")
Just to stat the Script object.This will repeatedly switch the images in the folder Images and it will wait 2 sec.
Now you can create an exe file with Check & Distribute , move it to some directory and also copy the whole directory Images there.
How to enhance this script?
You can create a folder Sounds, put a wave files associated with each image named sound1.wav, sound2.wav etc...
And in the Script Object just add a 2 lines before the last line with the ScriptTimer command:
Sound$='<SrcDir>\Sounds\sound' +number$+'.wav'
WavePlay("Sound$","")
