All three files contain the same code. Download the most convenient one. Downloading Notes: VBS FILE IE may try to run the VBS file instead of downloading it! You'll have to right-click and select "Save Link" or "Save Target" to save the file to your hard drive. TXT FILE Be sure to save the downloaded file with a VBS file extension. If your Windows has the default behavior of hiding file extensions, you will have to quote the file name. For example, don't save it as test.vbs, but as "test.vbs". Using quotes forces Windows to honor your file extension. ZIP FILE No problems. The zip file may (or may not) contain other information or directions. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Slideshow.vbs OVERVIEW: If you have a collection of pictures and sound files, this script will create the HTM web pages needed to display your files in a self-advancing slide show. Just run the script and answer a few questions. Every question has a default answer already given, and in most cases you'll be able to simply accept the default. For this script, the "picture file" definition includes web pages. So your picture could be a web page that contains several embedded pictures and descriptive text. BROWSER DIFFERENCES: Under Internet Explorer, the slideshow will automatically advance. You can sit back and watch the whole thing. Under all other browsers, the end-user will have to manually advance each slide using forward and back buttons. REQUIREMENTS: The presentation will show slides in NAME SORTED ORDER. The sound files and picture files MUST have the same base names. For example "test.wav" and "test.gif" or "foo.mp3" and "foo.jpg". If you have a sound file with no picture, that's okay. The previous picture will remain on screen while the new sound file is played. However, if you have a picture file with no sound file, then that picture file WON'T be displayed. Why? Because the presentation uses the end of the sound file to determine when to advance to the next slide. If there is no sound file, the whole trick falls apart. Besides, since this script allows web pages as "pictures", we have to accept that those web pages may reference pictures that shouldn't be displayed as separate slides! If you find yourself needing to display several pictures over the course of one sound file, you should consider these alternatives: 1 - Split your sound file into several smaller files. 2 - Create a dummy sound file with a few seconds of no audio. 3 - Create an animated GIF file that will display several pictures. 4 - Create a web page that has meta-redirects in it WEB PAGE EDITING: Feel free to edit the resulting web pages! Use "Notepad" if you don't have anything better. DISTRIBUTING: Both the web pages produced by this script AND the script itself can be distributed and modified without restrictions. The author Eric Phelps has released the script into the Public Domain. Such generosity is accompanied by the total absence of any guarantee, warranty, or responsibility for the script, the files it produces, or the effects the script or script-produced files may have. The script is, after all, plain text. The burden is on the person using the script to examine the script source code and determine whether or not the script is usable and safe. Operating systems and browsers are constantly changing. What works today may not work tommorrow!
