SimpleViewer - Free Flash Slideshow Tool
Airtight Interactive’s Felix Turner has developed an excellent free Flash-based slideshow tool. SimpleViewer Download is easy to use and loads images that are specified in a simple XML file. Images are preloaded as the user views other images in the slideshow making this slideshow tool perform very nicely.
Want to use simpleviewer but not working for mr
great, it’ll help build a simple slideshow kinda thing for the new website :D
any chance of a build in timer to go to next picture every so many seconds if u press a button? very easy to add I reccon
simpleviewer is NOT a slideshow tool at all. simpleviewer DOES NOT have slideshow mode. i challenge you to find it described anywhere on the airtight interactive website as a slideshow tool, you won’t because it doesn’t.

Slideshow Mode for Simpleviewer
The main reason I have not implemented this feature for SimpleViewer is that it would involve adding a new set of controls (play/pause) that I feel would distract from the main purpose of SimpleViewer - to display images in as simple and unobtrusive manner as possible.
Personally I don’t find automatic slideshows to be very useful. Basically you are letting the computer decide when you view the next image. When given an easy way to click next, does anyone actually wait for the timer to complete? What if you are studying an interesting image and the timer decides you now have to look at the next image?
Auto slideshows do have a place in certain situations. I built AutoViewer to address these situations.
Actually, I Googled this page because I was searching for slideshow functionality in simpleviewer as well. I think it is an outstanding display tool, and would suggest an optional mode in the pro version where I could set a slideshow with the smooth fade in and out effects in a short loop. I would plug this in to my home page for some rotating, dynamic content there. It would just be another reason for me to purchase the pro version. If not - then it is still a very well done interface - congrats!
I think this is a very nice component; more than I would expect for free. There are no banner adds or forced marketing. I couldn’t thank you enough for creating and distributing this flash image gallery. Keep up the great work!
@ Stephen Wick:
actually, there is the equivalent of a banner ad - a link/logo back to the Simple Viewer (Airtight Interactive) website - embedded in the free version.
I’ve used Simpleviewer, I love it, and will use it again. I do wish it had a slideshow mode, though. How about this for the controls? One button, default as “Play”, when you click it, the slideshow starts and the play button becomes a pause button. Hover over the Pause button and it becomes a “back” button and the slideshow stops. click on the back button and you go back one image. remove the mouse from the button and the the back button reverts to a pause button and slideshow resumes. Want to stop the slideshow? click on a thumbnail. That’s it. I implemented something like it (rather ineligantly in HTML, Javascript and CSS) at http://www.citylightsgallery.org. Just a thought. Easy once you get used to it.
