slideshow: end event

Postby alaricljs on Thu Dec 16, 2004 3:51 pm

Hey there,

I'd like to kick an event at the end of a slideshow. There might be a couple ways to do this, possible just changing the way a slideshow runs.

I tried defining an event that did:
button hide (xyz)
slideshow (pictures)
button show (xyz)

And it worked... sorta, the hide and show happened, but the show happened right after the slideshow started. I didn't want the show to happen until after the slideshow was over, so I tried unselecting "Multithreaded" Well, that didn't work because even tho the slideshow ran, the hide event didn't cause the buttons to hide.

I'm trying to hide the interface during a slideshow because I don't want my non-fullscreen pictures to have the interface cluttering the background.

Thanks

I hear ya!. And I agree!
I added a show overlay of a blackground to my slide show. It gives me the effect I want the only thing is you have to click twice to return to the photos page on exit of slideshow.

I wish there was a nice way to blackout the screen during slideshows.
