06.25.05 | SlideShowPro 1.0.9 Released

New in the user section is SlideShowPro 1.0.9, the latest update containing some bug fixes, a few popular requests, and a bunch of code optimization and tweaking. It's a free update to all 1.0 buyers.

What's new includes:

• Improved the "Restart" setting of the "Auto Finish Mode" property so that the final image cross fades into the first (for a more seamless transition). Also, if an album's audio is currently playing, the audio is not stopped. If audio has completed by the time an album is restarted, the audio will begin playback as normal.
• Gallery screen navigation now appears only if more than one screen is available.
• If a loaded image or swf has neither a caption nor a hyperlink, the rollover layer is not activated. This allows swfs containing buttons to be clicked.
• Javascript window pop-up code may now be included with image links in the XML.
• New property: Image Align. You may now choose the alignment of your loaded images within SlideShowPro. Options are "Top Left," "Top Right," "Bottom Right," "Bottom Left," and "Center" (default).
• Image navigation with the keyboard (Space, Left, Right) now remains active when "Show Navigation" is set to "False."
• Bug Fix: If the gallery pane was open while SlideShowPro automatically switched to the next album, and the user clicked on a different album, everything would go a little crazy. This has been fixed.
• Bug Fix: The bottom stroke of a caption would occasionally appear at the top of the component while hidden off screen. This has been fixed.
• Revamped caption-related code. A little leaner, maybe a little faster
• Lots of code optimizations and tweaks
• Updated User Guide

As usual, instructions on how to install the updated component and how to update movies created with older versions of the component is in the User Guide. Have fun!
