When we try to make a slideshow from a simple object state, it doesnt work for publish online. Here are screenshots from a very simple example..

1. we are making object states from rectangles.

2. We are setting Overlays/slideshows for autoplay..

3. We are publishing with "publish online"

4. But it doesnt work

You can still have slideshows using MSOs but they have to be controlled with buttons.

From fellow ACP Sandee Cohen's excellent book on Creating InDesign Animations in Adobe InDesign CC:

  1. Select the images that you want to include in the slideshow.
  2. Window > Object and Layout > Align: align their vertical and horizontal centers:
  3. Now they are perfectly aligned—leave them selected.
  4. Open Window > Interactive > Animation. Choose Appear from the Preset list, Event is On Page Load for the slideshow to show when you open the page. Fine tune the duration (time each photos shows), play and perhaps loop.

You can preview it in the EIP panel (button in the lower left corner of the Animation panel) before going on to Publish Online.

    Thank, Barb.

    Didn’t have time to do that this morning but didn’t want the OP banging their head against a wall, either.

    The overlays panel is for DPS/AEM Mobile only. It has no effect whatsoever on Publish Online.

    Hi Bob,

    In fact I read this topic in a adobe help page. so I'm trying to find a way. But if this slideshow means the animation without using object states (Barbs solution) it is not a good news for us .

    We have nearly 350 interactive ebook. Each book have 8 unit and these units have 40 pages approximately. We have produced these ebooks for tablets but if there is a way to publish online, it would be very good

    Here you can see a small example of our ebooks. There are some interactions made with folio overlay. I have solved the scrollable frame problem, and I think the buttons will not be a problem for us, also video and sound. If I can solve the slideshow problem we can publish these ebooks for our students.
