The story of the XML Slide Show V3
We wanted to help flash users to create sliding presentations of movieclips and images within flash and/or using external files also. We thought of those who would use this kind of component to speed up the development process, so we included options for borders, advanced pre-loading managing (with possibility to load all slides at the beginning or load them as you go, with adjacent priority).
The solution we came up with is as simple as a multiple advanced loader, masked by one rectangular customizable size mask that loads its content using a XML file and displays the contents in a sliding manner vertical or horizontal.
This component can be used in many ways, from showing many slides at one time, to one single slide per time, XML Slide Show V3 is simply the best slide show flash component. A slide is a movieclip, image, or external file, it may be another swf file that appears in a sliding way, or it may be a simple image, a simple swf containing a text ad, or it can be a menu item too.
Implemented methods allow the flash users to easy slide from code to a new slide, next, previous or any other slide.
