Scroller Slideshow Component, version 1.3.0

By Joachim Schnier

This is a Scroller Slideshow component, which is xml-based. Just make any changes in the xml file. You don't need to make changes in the swf. One option is to link other web sites to the pictures. Users can click on the large slide and go to a web site.

Instructions for the Demo version: The Demo version comes with the xml file and pictures. The Demo version does not have a preloader for pictures or movies. Only the commercial version comes with a preloader for for 50 jpg/swf. For you to test create your own slides and enter the names for your slides. You don't have to use the same names or paths as in the Demo as long as names and path are defined in the xml file. Create your own text.
