Step 1: Install Flash Gallery Factory and import pictures
Install your Flash Gallery Factory first, and run it, then choose Mode between Gallery Mode and Slideshow Mode. To create picture slideshow viewer, you'd better select Slideshow Mode. Then program will go to Browse tab. Click "Add Photo" button to import pictures from your computer or just drag selected pictures to storyboard directly.
Step 2: Select slideshow templates for your picture slideshow
After imported pictures to storyboard, then go to Template tab. Flash Gallery Factory provides 60+ free flash slideshow templates for you. You can select your favorite one to decorate your picture slide show. You may also make custom template by yourself.
Step 3: Add transition effects and motion effects
Go to Effect tab and you will find that there are 70+ engaging transition and motion effects in the software. Simply select the pictures you want to add effects and then choose effects, finally click "Apply to Selected" button to apply transition or motion effects to pictures.
Step 4: Preview and publish your picture slideshow
You can click the "preview" button in the bottom of the screen to see your picture slideshow. If you are satisfied with it, you can publish it as SWF, HTML, EXE, Screensaver or Email formats. If you want to embed your picture slideshow viewer on website, please publish it as SWF or HTML formats.
Upload created SWF file to any web hosting and get the file's URL. If you don't have a personal web host, you can upload your SWF file to Google Sites for free. Then Copy and paste the following HTML code on your web page, MySpace or Blogger, so long as it supports HTML code. Then replace the red SWF file's address to the real one. The picture slide show viewer's size can be revised by changing the red number "264" and "550".
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="264" width="550" data="http://www.flash-slide-show.com/images/tutorials/flash_banner/banner550.swf">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
<param name="movie" value="http://www.flash-slide-show.com/images/tutorials/flash_banner/banner550.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
</object>
Tips:
1. You can add decorate text and hyperlinks to pictures in Effect tab and Edit Photo function.
