Movie properties window

To edit movie properties choose Menu > Edit > Movie properties.

The new project requests to set Movie properties and choose one slide (an image file) at least. The size of the first project is 400x300 but when you change parameters, the size is saved for the next project.

The Movie properties window consists four pages: General, Navigation, Sound, Preloader, Links and Titles.

General:
- Movie size in px (Wight, Height);
- Background color (can be either Transparent or Color: click the example box to choose any background color).

Navigation:
- Navigation buttons (Play and Pause, Rewind, Next and Previous);
- 3 types of actions after the end of movie (Go to first slide (cicled); Stop; Load another movie). The "Load another movie" option using is helpful for dividing of any large movie to several movies. In that case the next movie is downloaded and shown just after the current one.

Sound:
- Browse a music file (wav or mp3) for Background sound;
- Choose Sound mode:

  • Stop sound when movie stops;
  • Do not stop sound, that will be cycled, so set Loops for this sound track repeating.

Test button is for playing a music file by your music player application (Media Player, WinAmp or others).

There are 2 sound modes of Flash: Streaming and Event. Streaming sound stops when movie stops; Event sound does not stop when the movie finishes, it will play so many times as it will be set. So it is better to choose Event mode (Do not stop sound) in case the movie showing is cycled.

FlashSlider supports music file formats: *.wav (except ADPCM-coding) and *.mp3. To learn format of a music file: right click on it > Properties > Summary tab > Audio format.
