how to sinchronize a slide show with music

[Sergio_1]

Hi all
I need to make a slide show and I am looking for a way to sinch the change of the pages in accord with the timing of the soundtrack.
How can I write a script like: when the time of the audio file is egual to xx seconds go to next page (or page nr.), and so on on every page?
If is possible, may I control the slide show, like a video, controlling only the audio (pause, play, rewind ...) or giving to the soundtrack a goto to specific time?
Many thanks
Sergio

You can do that using the mp3-player's 'On Progress' event.

What audio are you using? If you're using mp3 as your audio file it should be easy, but if you're using something else you'll need to juggle the actions a bit to make it work.

Sorry Derek,
I've tried, but my experience is too limited. I don't understant how to manage the 'on progress' event about timing a sequence of images.

Hi Sergio_1

Suppose you want to jump to page 2 after the mp3 has played for 35 seconds -
Have the mp3 playing and in the mp3-player's On Progress event [Under the Project menu select MP3 Player and choose On.Progress as the event to edit], add something like the following:

%Property% = MP3.GetProperty ("Progress")
IF (%Property% = 00:00:35)
Page.Jump ("Page 2")
END IF

Hope this helps
