01.21.08 | SlideShowPro for Flash 1.7.0b2 available

The second public beta of SlideShowPro for Flash 1.7 is now available for download. This release mostly refines/fixes a few things from beta 1, with the notable exception of a couple of new additions. First, a video play button now appears in the center of a video's preview graphic (if one is assigned), and as you might expect, it plays the associated video when clicked. It also appears at the end of a video if Display Mode is set to "Manual" (so that it can be restarted).

Secondly, the "Director Image Format" option from beta 1 has changed names to "Content Format" because that same functionality now applies to Media RSS feeds that contain a selection of imagery to choose from. In other words, if a feed contains large, high-resolution imagery and "Content Format" is set to "Full Screen," SlideShowPro for Flash will load the largest possible version that'll fit a user's monitor resolution. If "Normal" (the default), SlideShowPro for Flash will load the largest possible version that'll fit the SWF size in HTML.

To read more about this release, see the beta 2 version notes. And as usual, feedback is encouraged.
