EL 405: Flash photo slideshow

A while ago, Lori and I completed a Flash photo slideshow presentation together. Lori supplied the photos and some of the code, and I supplied the music, more code, and the basic layout. Here's the .swf file:

Flash Photo Slideshow by Lori Rupert and Christopher Ulicne - COMING SOON

[Note: I'm currently looking into a way to make all of the necessary files available for download as a package... The download will be available soon.]

I think the slideshow was a success, though our Flash textbook never really told us how to set it up so that a different sound file would play during the display of each different photo. I imagine that there is a fairly simple way to do so, but I'm essentially finished with Flash for the semester, so I can't be bothered to look into it (I'll be spending all my time on Inform 7 and final projects for other classes).

I have to admit, out of all of the software packages we've used this semester, I think that Flash comes in behind my favorite, Inform 7, as a close second. The sheer amount of things you can do in Flash is incredible, and the fact that the coding system allows for a simple point-and-click interface for most simple coding is awesome.
