The installation of this extension is very simple. Just connect to the Typo3 Extension Repository and download «Flash SlideShow» (slideshow), located in the frontend plugin section. Note that you will also need to download the «Developer API» extension (api_macmade), as it will be needed by the plugin.

When you install the extension, you'll notice a field called TypeNum.

This is the typeNum of the XML page which will be passed to the Flash file. You only have to care about this if you already have an extension which uses the same typeNum. Otherwise, just leave the default one.

The next step is to create a slideshow with your JPG files. On a sysfolder, just create a new element and choose «Flash SlideShow» from the list:

You can choose between two different types of slideshow, using the «Type» selector box.

With the first type, you'll be able to add as many JPG files as you want, either by uploading them or by giving a file path. Just choose «NEW JPG» or «NEW PATH» from the select menu, and save the page to reload the slideshow.

The second type of slideshow will allow you to select JPG pictures from a given directory. Just enter the path to the directory and save the page to reload. You'll then see a list of all the JPG files contained in that directory. Just click on their names to add them.

On a page, create a new content element and choose «Flash SlideShow» from the list.

You'll now be able to configure the instance of the plugin through Typo3 flexforms. On the first tab, just add the slideshow you want to be available in the player.

The second tab contains some options relative to the player. Please refer to the configuration section of this manual for more informations about those options.

Finally, on the third tab, you can configure settings related to the Flash plugin. Here again, refer to the configuration section of this manual for more informations about those settings.
