Looking for a quick and easy way to add Flash slideshows to your pages? Consider the XML Flash Slideshow v3 extension from www.DWUser.com. For $12, this extension adds an arsenal of options, including a variety of layouts, height and width adjustments, color options, and other settings. You can add a title, caption, link, and other details to each image individually. And you can even add watermarks as you create galleries. Like the web gallery in Dreamweaver, the extension can be used to resize images and thumbnails automatically (as long as you have Firefox on your computer).

In this tutorial, you find detailed instructions for how to use the Dreamweaver XML Flash Slideshow Extension v.3 to create a customized slide show.
