The slideshow found here [ www.land-la.com/new/projec...studio.html ] is a SWF file that pulls from a separate XML. The XML contains a path, a list of images, and potentially a caption for each one, but as far as I can tell, no formatting options. LAND didn't mind, but I'm thinking about using a Flash slideshow in my portfolio - I want the text to be easily found for SEO, and I want to be able to format it.
1) Is there a way to format text within the XML <caption> tag (basics like paragraph breaks, bold, italic, etc.)?
2) Is it possible to tell the browser to display different (HTML) text when different images load (in the SWF)?
3) Am I making this too complicated / is there a simple solution?
PROBLEM recap: I want valid, searchable, formatable captions that are in sync with the images as they load.
4) Even better (& *ideally*): Is there a way to load high-quality graphics (say, 25) quickly in a professional-looking, customizable slideshow, while discouraging image theft (i.e., can't just ctrl-click, hidden from Google images), being standards-compliant and taking only a few development hours?
Any suggestions?
Thank you
