“Give 'em the old
razzle dazzle - Razzle Dazzle 'em - Just as the “razzle-dazzle” song goes, people react to an act with lots of FLASH and SIZZLE. Web surfers are attracted by movement, motion and photo images that present a visual message. Slideshows will capture the viewer’s attention – even if it’s only for few seconds. And, chances are when your visitor finds your presentation captivating and relevant, they will spend MORE time on your site and venture beyond the initial slideshow. In our NEW Classic 3.0 program, you have the option to create an impressive Flash Slideshow. Creating custom slideshows with text enhancements to make positive marketing statements can make a powerful impact on your website visitors. This new feature is located within the Design Center in your Virtual Office. The program allows you to use up to 10 slides per slideshow. However, we recommend using less than 10, as more will lengthen the loading time of the show for your site viewers. Please be advised that you need Macromedia Flash player to view these slideshows. To download the Flash Player, click here. In our Virtual Office Manual you will find a Slideshow Builder manual complete with detailed instructions on the definition of each field. We highly recommend that you read the Slideshow Builder manual to become familiar with its uses, so you can determine how you can use this tool to your advantage. Advanced Access offers several default slideshows that you can use. Or, you can also 'copy' one of our default slideshows and make changes or additions to customize it to your own specifications. Here’s how some of our valued clients are using the slideshow feature to ATTRACT visitors to their site and ENTICE them to explore beyond the front page. Kristin Noll is using an attractive design that features a slideshow on the home page. In her slideshow, Kristin has created revolving “picture postcard view” with flashing images of the beautiful city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin to entice viewers to go beyond the home page. Joe Corbin, with Adventure Bay Realty, is using a design similar to Kristin Noll with his own custom slideshow. This is a perfect example of how you can customize one template and make it look completely unique. Geri Sonkin has created a button on her homepage labeled 'Featured Home Tour' that takes the visitor on an impressive photo tour through a new home. Bill Barber features a new home on his website every few weeks. By keeping his custom slideshow fresh he continues to attract new visitors to check his new listings and virtual tours. Here are some Frequently Asked Questions about building Slideshows and adding them to your Website. Q - How do I insert a Slideshow? A – Within the framework of the Virtual Office, there are several programs available in which you can insert slideshows in a page editor. First, be sure your cursor is in the exact place in which you would like to insert your slideshow while you are in your Page Editor. Then, click on the icon that looks like a finger pointing at a keyboard. If you hover your mouse over that icon, it will read 'Insert Custom'. One of the options that appears after you select that icon is 'Insert Flash Slideshow'. You have the option to 'upload' a .swf file if you have created your own Flash Slideshow, or you can select one of the slideshow choices available in the program. After you have selected your Slideshow, click on the button 'Insert Flash Slideshow'. The program will then insert the slideshow for you. Q - There is a Slideshow within my Website Template, how do I change it? A - If you have selected a template that has a slideshow built in, you will need to change that in a special section. Visit your Design Center, and then click on Site Manager. In the middle of those options, you’ll find a section that reads 'Select the default slideshow for the web templates that support it'. The pull down menu will list the default slideshows and the shows you have created from the beginning to select from. Q - My Slideshow has been active on my page for a few weeks. I just went back in to add some new slides. When I view the Slideshow through the website, those new slides are not showing up. Why is it not updating? A - When you initially insert a slideshow into your page, the program places the slideshow and the accompanying files in the HTML section of the programming. If you update the Slideshow later within the Slideshow builder, these changes will not appear on the page in which they were originally placed. First, you will need to delete the slideshow from your Page Editor, and then reinsert the slideshow into the page. At that point, your new changes will appear. Q - After I insert a Slideshow I am getting an error about ActiveX... What does that mean? A - ActiveX is a safety feature that Microsoft added to Internet Explorer 6.0 to warn users that an ActiveX object was being used. Flash files are labeled as an ActiveX file in Internet Explorer 6.0. Some ActiveX objects can be harmful. This is simply a warning for you. Click on the 'Okay' button and the error message will go away and your Flash file will be inserted.
