Hello Community,

 

Im trying to make an MSO slideshow so users can view differente images as a carrousel that slides horizontally. 

I tried using the in5 "Slideshow - interactive widget" but it doesnt seem to be working. Does any one know what could be wrong? Some websites said not to select "Auto Play", "Tap to Play/Pause" and "Swipe" at the same time, which I have done. But still does not work at all. 

 

I followed this steps:  Create a multi-state object (MSO)  and use it to make a slideshow 

  • Place your images on the page

  • Select them

  • In the Object States panel (Window > Interactive > Object States), click the "+" button to convert selection to a multi-state object

  • Go to in5 > Interactive Widgets > Slideshow

  • Select desired options in the Slideshow dialog (again, use either Tap or Swipe but not both)

Is there anything that I am missing?

What is the end product (i.e. pdf, epub, publish online)?

Hint: if it's any of those, it won't work.

 

This has to be exported using in5 and opened in a browser. I just tested it and works fine.

Fake it with a video or an animate GIF which of course can only be self-running. You can do it with an MSO but it'll require buttons. Again, you can fake it by putting a full state no-fill, no-stroke button in each state set to go to the next state.


Unfortunately I cant add a video or gif. Im doing a carrousel to show graphs that im desining on illustrator. I was just asked to see if I could make them like this but I am out ideas. I have an MSO right now and I have been playing with the idea of having it float around and use the hide/show buttons but I have noticed that it can get glitchy and not hide your MSO once in a while.

What does "doesn't seem to be working" mean? And how are you testing this?
