I was playing with iWeb this morning and I thought that I’d take a cruise through the Apple Discussions to see what other people have learned from the app already. I found an incredibly useful discussion about the way photos look in iWeb. It seems I wasn’t the only one that didn’t like the way the pictures looked when they were clicked on. It used that old brushed metal look that has been on .Mac forever.

Well, I’m glad I read this discussion because someone has created a way to use flash on the photos. Perhaps, it would be eaier to just show an example. Uwe Hoffman gives an example here. (Just click on a picture to see)

It seems all you have to do is replace the “SlideShow_assets” folder after you export your site from iWeb to a folder. You can download the new folder settings here.

    I hate to say this, but that really isn’t flash. Its Javascript and css styling.

    I downloaded the slide show and it looks much better than the standard iweb. Does anyone know how to make this slide show run automatically? I just want to have it open and run without pushing forward.

    Thanks

    I like this slideshow. However I’m finding it difficult to figure out how to make the photos full size images. If you could give me a hint that would be great.

    Thanks,

    For those looking for a flash alternative (not javascript) check out the one that I built for my family website. Its flash 8 based, but i’ve included a javascript detection script for those who don’t have 8 yet (like 2-5% of all users) :

    Sample (click slideshow or a slide to view it):
