Monoslideshow is a highly customizable Flash slideshow player, which costs $19.95 . It basically allows you to create a really attractive Flash photo slideshow, which can either use images on your server or those on Flickr. It is highly configurable, although this must be done by modifying an XML file.
Monoslideshow by far produces the most attractive Flash slideshow I’ve yet seen, beating Flashfader by a considerable amount. Some wonderful examples are available over on their website. The demo page can also generate XML.
As I mentioned earlier, it is very customisable. The slideshow I’ve built below (in only 5 lines of XML) displays my Flickr photostream, and is visible on this demo page.
It allows you to add background audio, captions, various transitions (including the Ken Burn’s Effect), as well as your own watermark.
The effects it produces are the nicest I’ve seen yet produced by a Flash slideshow. However, this does require quite a bit of effort with XML.
The tool isn’t very user-friendly, due to the fact you need to edit XML files manually and that there isn’t a nice wizard bundled with it. However, it is worth the effort of editing the XML! Also, I think it would be nice to see this developing into an Ajax slideshow player.
If you are a person who’s after a quality solution, and don’t mind paying, Monoslideshow is amazing value at $19.95!
