That's all it takes to create a Flash enabled Slideshow in Fireworks 8 with the ability to create multiple albums and add captions within an Album Book.

Either use the default "Fireworks Album Players" (Sliver_Silver/WebPhotoAlbum/Default White/Black Players) or build your own Album Player that loads the generated XML based upon how many images and albums are in the Album Book. The Album Player source files are provided in downloads in case you want to modify the design to fit your needs such as building a custom slideshow for a client or making a new Album player for others to use instead of the provided Default players.

We'll be happy to display new player designs in the downloads sections for others to enjoy, provided you send us the source files.

  • Built so anyone that’s a Flash designer/developer can build a Fireworks Album Player in Flash to connect to the XML output.
