Ken Burns Effect Slideshow

Hello
Could you please tell me how I can maintain the order of the images that means the slideshow starts with image 1, than 2, 3 and so on.
Thank you for your effort on your behalf.

Is there a better way to handle multi-line titles so they wrap appropriately? Currently seems to not wrap at all.

Thanks for the text wrapping change. Works great. It would be nice to be able to align the text on the bottom. The "textX" and "textY" attributes are nice when the text is at the top of the Flash banner but setting "textY" to position it near the bottom can leave variable blank space if the number of lines of text changes. Maybe a "verticalAlignment" attribute with values "top", "bottom" or "center". Thanks.

Thanks for the update on the title positioning. Works great. What are the valid HTML tags for the CDATA section of the title? I tried <p> and <div> but neither worked. I want to create a colored background for the title so I am trying an inline style.

I set it up but I can't display special characters like Central European letters like čćžšđ.
Encoding is encoding="UTF-8" but characters are not shown. Also if you put html characters like this one &# 263; it doesn't work.
If someone could help I would be grateful.

I love this component!!! However, my requirements have changed a wee bit. Is there a way to use an image-map type linking on a slide? For example, if someone clicks in the lower left corner it take them somewhere other than the url for the rest of the area?

Ok -- I downloaded it onto my machine, but I'm confused about what now: I don't think you give pointers to the newbies... Should I get on Flash?

Can you do a little tutorial just to catch me up? I've never purchased anything like this, & I'm lost. I love the idea, & want to get started making it my own asap!

Thanks so much!

Thank you for the tutorial...! However, when I tried to embed the snippet of code, using the "deploy/", it didn't work...Since the example worked wonderfully, I'm assuming I'm missing a "deploy/", but I don't know where... Help?

Oop. Too many lines, I suppose. I'll try again:

                
<!--kenburns_slideshow-->
<span id="kenburns_slideshow">
       <script type="text/javascript" src="deploy/js/swfobject.js"></script>	
		<script type="text/javascript">

<!--THEN-->

flashvars.pathToFiles = "kenburns/";
			flashvars.xmlPath = "xml/kenburns.xml";			
			/** EMBED THE SWF**/
			swfobject.embedSWF("deploy/preview.swf"+cacheBuster, attributes.id, stageW, stageH, "9.0.124", "deploy/js/expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params);

                

If you would really rather me upload everything & post a link, I will, but I don't want to until everything is almost done...
