On my web site Samsplace I protected all galleries. My slide show gallery is protected when the gallery is displayed. This gallery is only visable as a slideshow.
If I were to right clik the slideshow picture, I can print this picture on my printer which defeats the protected feature of this gallery as well as other information.
How can I protect people from coying the photos in my slide show? What changes do I have to make to the software?

Hi Gil, can't do it in flash. They can already do the exact same thing with any freely available screen-grabbing utility. So either don't worry about it, or, watermark your images (a pro feature on SmugMug).
I love the new full-screen slideshow ... but mainly for the full-screen aspect of it. I don't like the automatic advance; I'd rather go to the next or previous photos manually. I can do this by hitting Pause and then using the mouse to click on the Previous and Next arrows, but that overlays the arrows, the play/pause button, and the filmstrip over my photo; I have to wait a few seconds for them to go away again.
Simple solution (I hope):
Can we have keyboard control in the slideshow? Right arrow for next, left arrow for previous? Then I could hit pause and control navigation with the arrow keys. (Even better: allow me to choose "paused" as the default "speed.")

I apologize if this has already been posted but looking at the slideshow of a poster here (moonriver), I tried the right click, it worked (did not show the print option like in my slideshow), instead, when going to the photoeditor, the image was just a dot. How do you do that?
I think I have been told it is called a "box". I would like to learn that, much better than a watermark (hate them).

Hi,that's right-click protection on SmugMug, it's a power or pro feature.
But please, do not ever feel that this is stronger than a watermark - it's actually weaker! Anyone can fish a file out of browser cache - a good, proper watermark will protect you, always.

Make sense?
makes sense for people who know how to do it (I don't). But if the watermark is not on the center of the picture, people can crop it out. On the center, it kinds of ruins the viewing experience...
It is not exactly rightclick (I see how to do this in the gallery setting), it is more like capturing the screen but having nothing in the clopboard.
Going camping in the desert so can't check these out right now, but would love to learn more.
A "Help Screen" for Fullscreen Slideshow
I've seen several "bits and pieces" in this tread and elsewhere (forgive me if I didn't find "The Complete Slideshow Help" screen somewhere on Dgrin or in SmugMug's improving help screen offerings), so I just sent the following to my sister-in-law as a "training guide" of sorts to help her get the full benefit the new slideshow offers:
The fulscreen slideshow on SmugMug just gets better and better! Try this: Launch the SLIDESHOW from the link next to the SHARE button. You can sit back and let the slideshow run automatically on it's own...or you can apply a number of optional control overrides:
You can adjust the speed by selecting FAST, MEDIUM (the default), or SLOW in the upper left corner of the thumbnail film strip.
You can jump to any individual image by left-clicking its thumbnail in the filmstrip.
You can jump a full "page" forward or backward by clicking the tiny little arrows at the ends of the thumbnail film strip.
You can left-click the LARGE "Advance-One-Image" or "Go-Back-One-Image" arrows at the sides of the display.
You can Pause the show by moving your mouse to the center of the picture and hit the double-bar "pause" control that pops up there.
You can return to Play mode by moving your mouse to the center of the picture and hit the big triangle pointing to the right.
You can Hide Captions (or Show Captions) by left-clicking the control in the middle of the thumbnail filmstrip.
Here's a "feature" I found (by accident) that I really like...especially when there are lots of captions or pictures of signs (e.g. historical markers) with lots of text, and I want to take my time and set my own pace rather than let the slideshow decide how long to leave an image on the screen before moving on to the next one :
Just after the slideshow starts, left click the PAUSE control. This effectively puts the slideshow in "manual mode."
Position the mouse over the LARGE "Advance-One-Image" arrow on the right side of the display in the middle.
Left-click the mouse to manually advance to the next image...it will stay there for as long as you want to see it.
Left-click the mouse again to manually advance to the next image, and so on until you're done, or return to PLAY mode as described earlier.
I found that I could even sit back a few feet from my monitor with my wireless mouse and manually advance through the slide show, varying my pace throughout the show as rapidly, or as slowly as I chose at any given moment. This, I think, will be the way I choose to view my galleries more often than not.
New Photos
Has anyone else noticed that new photos do not appear in the slideshow until the page is reloaded?
I am thinking of using the slideshow at a party so I can update the slideshow with pictures as the party progresses; however, it looks like I will need to periodically reload the slide show to see new pictures.
Some of you may have all the right stuff but have customizing that is getting in the way of your Full Screen Slideshow:
modifying the breadcrumb with javascript
Is your breadcrumb navigation javascript creating problems with new full screen slide show? Mine was ... here's the javascript I was given from support that works with new slide show and changes breadcrumb navigation to start with name.smugmug.com/galleries rather than the home page. For example, I don't want breadcrumb navigation to link back to my home page that now has the shizam slide show, but to my galleries page at name.smugmug.com/galleries.
var objElement = document.getElementById("breadcrumb")
if (objElement != null) {
var str = new String(objElement.innerHTML);
str = str.replace('>Home<', '><a href="/galleries">Galleries</a><');
objElement.innerHTML = str;
}
Replace "Home" in above with the text of the initial breadcrumb. For example, mine was Home>next1>next2. Yours might be your first name as I believe that is the default.
this thread solved a problem for me
Thanks. My slideshows were not working and that was my next problem on my list to tackle until I came upon this slideshow help thread. I upgraded my Flash Player and that solved the problem for me. I'm impressed.

Just a quick question: are you planning to make videos viewable right in the full screen slideshow, just as it is with lightbox?
Right now the slideshow just shows a static frame from a movie, so in order to show people my photos and videos, instead of playing that cool slideshow I have to use stepping through photos in lightbox, which gracefully plays all videos it encounters.

Hi Folks! On March 17th we released a new version of our Full Screen Slideshow and also the gallery-style slideshow.
If you are having any difficulties with the slideshow, we want to help, and we'll do it here. Some things we need to know when you reply:
1. We need to know your installed flash version, for IE (if you use it) and for other browsers. Go to this page at Adobe and tell us the results.
2. We need to know what browser you are using, and the version, and on what Operating System. E.g., IE6 on WinXP; IE7 on Windows Vista Home Premium; Firefox 2.0.0.13 on Mac OS X 10.5.
3. We need a direct gallery link to where you are having the problem.
4. Tell us if you can use the Full Screen Slideshow here in this gallery.
5. Tell us if you can see the Full Screen Slideshow using this share link.
6. If you can see #5 and cannot see #4, can you see this? (click the little icon to the right of the movie)
or you can do Adobe's Full Screen test here.
(click the full screen mode on the left, then let the demo load, then click full screen view button on the movie).
7. If you cannot see SmugMug's Full Screen Slideshow, or the Cars Movie Demo in full screen or the Adobe Full Screen Demo in full screen, you may have a hardware issue with full screen. Try disabling hardware acceleration in the flash player.
Some of you may have all the right stuff but have customizing that is getting in the way of your Full Screen Slideshow:

Looking for Shizam's Homepage Slideshow? Right Here.
EDIT (April 9th, 2008): We updated the site to support the latest Adobe Flash version (9,0,124,0). You DO NOT require this version but if you have it or get it, you'll be fine.
I went through and answered all 7 questions and this is what I have:
1. WIN 9,0,124,0 no debug player
2. WinXP (internet explorer)
3. www.timeless-photo.com
4. I can see the gallery, but when I try the slideshow button I cannot see anything just black
5. cannot see anything here either
6. I can see the Car's movie and when I right click I can see it in full screen
7. I already have hardware acceleration disabled

are you seeing the homepage slideshow on your site?
Black Button Firefox 3.0b5
This is default Firefox shipping with Ubuntu which is a linux distribution. There is no problem actually clicking the button. It just happens to look like what is complete redaction. This only happens under the white theme and with Firefox on Linux. I haven't changed anything but the banner thus far and turning things off/on via css as i'm new to smugmug; however it works fine in Safari on an OSX machine.
Flash version is 9.0 r124

Don't know what the 2 bullet items mean, so not sure how to reply to that.
I'm getting a black screen forever after I try to enter a slide show.
I can't see the first link as a slide show using firefox. But if I use my extension to tell firefox to render it using the ie7 engine, it works fine.
So????
I cleared the ff cache, but that didn't work. I don't want to clear all my cookies, how can I clean only the smug ones.
Looking thru the threads, I have the same problems and the same test results as BobNC...except my flash version is 115.

My original problem was that the subject slideshow would hang on the same image (143_Fenway_fix), and this occurred multiple times. Then, on one of my tries, it got past that just fine, but when I went to another gallery it just went to black when I tried to do the slide show. I have just now tried again, and everything seems to be working - except I still cannot see your test gallery slideshows. Any insights?

Can we have keyboard control in the slideshow? Right arrow for next, left arrow for previous? Then I could hit pause and control navigation with the arrow keys. (Even better: allow me to choose "paused" as the default "speed.")
Sorry, it's not allowed by Adobe.
