Slideshow on a website

[youmademerealise]

Anyone have any flash things for smooth transitions of a slideshow for a site?

I have an old version of Dreamweaver and the free stuff is horribly jerky or gimicky, venetian blinds etc. I just want a fade out/in similar to the slideshow on Windows

Not sure if it's any use, but Flickr has a decent slideshow feature. We recently rebuilt our company website, then simply host all creative work via links to our YouTube channel and Flickr slideshows.

Hosting elsewhere isn't a bad idea, thanks, as of course slideshows eat bandwidth, but I think I shall keep this in house for now and see how it goes.

I just downloaded the first free one off google. Small advert on it, but actually it ain't half bad

Simpleviewer is decent, although whether you can make an automatic slideshow I'm not sure. Worth a look.

not sure if this is suitable and I haven't used it recently but I used to use something called Jalbum. I built the sldeshow witht hat software and uploaded it to my website where it worked fine.

It's been a few years mind so it might be a different beast nowadays.

I have used a combination of simpleviewer and flickrviewer in the past so the images are pulled from a set in flickr (and hosted there) but displayed using simpleviewer. Not an automatic slideshow as you say, but the combination works well and is easy to setup - and to add new images you just add them to the set in flickr and they automatically appear on your website.
