Loop Multiple Images Indesign

[kenv13226975]

I am fairly new to InDesign and want to create, for lack of a better term, a slideshow on a page.  I have 8 images (overlapping one another, like a slideshow would) I would like to rotate, but don't want it to stop, but keep rotating the images until someone leaves the page.  However, I can't figure out how to loop them from the animations/timing panel without it looping the 1st image over and over.  I have 8 separate images, created an individual animation for each, but can't find where to group it or delay it where the 1st image would wait for the sequence to finish and then start up again.  Any suggestions? I'm using the latest version of ID.  Thank you.

I am going to publish it online using the "Publish Online" and sending the link out to the intended audience.  

Thank you.

It is not that easy, you will need an adjusted preset and the timing panel. I wrote a blog on this, however it is in Dutch but maybe it can help you:

Thank you!  I will attempt it!  Thank you for sharing an example.  This is EXACTLY what I was looking to do.   I will let you know how it turns out!

Ok, so I put everything together, but it doesn't loop. It stops at the end of the 8 images.  Any suggestions?  When I put the loop on, it shows the #1 image over and over.

Never mind!  I think I found out why.  I had the timing on the animation messed up. 

Thank you again for your help!

FINALLY!! A solution. Thank you for your xml script.

Is there a way to make it go faster? I tried modifying settings but it's not optimal. Thanks!

Is there an easily changeable value in xml file?

Thank you for proposing this solution, the download link is obsolete, can you put the code here, so that we can make a copy paste

Helo Frans, is your preset still available to download? It doesn't seem to be on DropBox anymore...

Thanks,
