I want to display the first image with the play button icon over the image on my blog. Right now you only see the play button only. I have seen blogs where the first image is displayed and then the show begins after they click on the play button. I didn't want it to have separate preloaded images and stuff just the simple first image and the play button over it. I can't get it to preview this way.


Thanks

charles,
i have seen dj and scarlett lillian do this, but i never figured it out for myself. maybe you can ask one of them.
good luck!

It's a secret

Not any more!

Thanks DJ! I always wondered how they did that!

Why doesn't it preview like this? Mine doesn't no matter what settings I have checked.

Hey Charles - Post up a link to your show so we can check it out.

David here is one of the latest shows that is on my BLOG. The direct link is http://www.thestoryteller.com/shows/Cristan_Allen_Engagement

I have checked and uncheck and have tried different combinations of options and nothing seems to be working for me.

Thanks

Charles

DJ,

Cassandra emailed me from support and informed me that you have to not only check one of option to preload or show an the first image you have to also check the Ask to Play ffeld under Generate Embed Code. Then regenerate the code and embed the show. SHWEW. I thought I was losing my ind. Even though the slideshow doesn't actually preview the slideshow this way after generating the code and uploading the slideshow I achieved the result I wanted.

So a big thanks to Cassandra. It is now fixed. I will have to fix the others as well.

I'm glad you've asked this Charles, because I still can't get it to work.

I've checked the box DJ shows in the Preloading section; I've checked the "Ask to Play" box under the "Generate Embeded Code"; I've even tried uploading a new photo to show in the Preloading section and yet, when I save and preview, there is no picture.

Any more help you can offer?

Bump. anyone?

tana,

did you generate a new embeded code after selecting the check boxes? Ue this new code on the blog. It won't preview correctly you have to upload everything the new slideshow and the new embed code in order for it to work.

Hope this assists.
