Using autoplay mode with the Photo Slideshow template

can change this setting easily.
To adjust the delay:
1. Unlock the _controller layer.
2. Select the controller component.
3.
Display the Parameters tab in the Component inspector by selecting Window >
Component Inspector. The Parameters tab is selected by default.
4.
Select the delay, and change this value to a new delay value in seconds.
5.
Save and publish your document.
Using presentation templates
The presentation templates included with Flash let you create, customize, and publish
your presentations.
Creating a slide presentation
Creating a slide presentation is as easy as adding new keyframes. Flash provides three slide
layouts to get you started.
To create a slide presentation:
1. Select File > New.
2. In the New Document dialog box, click the Template tab.
3. In the New from Template dialog box, select a Presentation template.
4.
In the Slide layer, add a keyframe for each slide in your presentation. For example, if your
presentation has ten slides, add ten keyframes.
5. On each keyframe in the Slide layer, add the information you want to include in that slide.
You can create or import graphics as well as add your company's logo, text, video, or audio
to your presentation.
6. Make sure that all other layers have an equal number of frames.
7. Save and publish your document.
