GoLive 6 Slide Show
2/03

GoLive comes with many pre-packaged Actions that can add javascript interactivity to your site. Once you know how to use a few of them, you can experiment with the rest. All actions have both a trigger and an event. Each trigger causes an event. For instance, when a user clicks a button (trigger), an alert window (event), may occur. The action you see on this page is an example of an automatic slide show triggered by the browser as the page loads .
- Create a folder with either .gif or .jpg images labeled in order, such as 01.jpg, 02.jpg, 03.jpg, etc. Keeping the images the same size gives the slide show a seamless look.
- Insert the first image in your slide show. This image will become the base image, and needs to be named in the Name field of the More tab in the image inspector.
Since this action is triggered when the browser loads the page, it must be placed in the Head portion of the GoLive document. This can be done by clicking on the triangle to the left of the document title and dragging a Head Action from the Smart Tab of the Objects Palette.
- Click on the Head Action and select OnLoad at the top of the Inspector, and then choose Multimedia/SlideShowAuto from the drop down menu.
