How to use the Simply Slideshow

Web-ready SWF

With the provided SWF file and sample HTML all you have to do is move a couple files around then copy and paste some code to get videos embedded on your webpage. Follow these steps:

  1. Connect to your web host using your favorite FTP software.
  2. Copy the provided flash folder and its contents into the root directory of your website, so the file path looks like this: www.example.com/flash/
  3. Add your photos to the images folder in the flash file.
  4. Modify the provided slideshow.xml file. Change the paths to point to your images and add you image title and descriptions.
  5. Open the provided index.html file in your favorite text editor along with the html file for the webpage you want to add video to.
  6. First, copy and paste the code in the <head>. Then copy and paste <div> where you want it to show up on the page.
  7. Modify the code you pasted in the <head>. You will need to add your video’s filename and modify width and height to match your slideshow dimensions. There are comments in the HTML to help guide you along.
  8. Test it. If it doesn’t work, double check all your file paths, and try again.
