Flashlite makes simple flash slideshows with fading transitions in Common Lisp. It depends on Sergio Garcia's Gordon package.

Requirements

Flashlite depends on Gordon which can be obtained from Cliki.

Sergio Garcia maintains a of Gordon at subversion repository where you can get the latest development version. He also posted decent tutorial on how to use it.

Download

Flashlite can be downloaded from /code/flashlite_20100321_1239.tgz [03/21/2010]

Install

It can be installed with ASDF or by untarring the tarball and adding a link to the flashlite.asd system definition file in the Lisp load path.

 (make-flash-fade-show "test.flash" "path/to/images/directory*.jp*g")

will make a flash slide show movie out of all the jpeg images found in a directory. Alternatively, a list of files can be provided, as in:

(let ((jpegs '("imgs/pic1.jpg" "imgs/pic2.jpg" "imgs/pic3.jpg")))
  (make-flash-fade-show "test.flash" jpegs :dims '(400 300)
                        :frames-per-second 30 :fade-seconds 0.5 :hold-seconds 5.0
                        :border-width 2 :border-color '(255 255 255 0)) 

This example illustrates parameter usage

• dims parameter sets the size of the movie frames (the default is to the bounding rectangle of all the images)
• frames-per-second sets the frame rate for the movie (default=30 fps).
• fade-seconds sets the time it takes to transition from one image to the next.
• hold-seconds sets the time each image is held.
• border-width sets the border width around each image (minimum=1, default=2).
• border-color sets the border color and alpha for each image border. To make this invisible set the alpha to 0. To use it, set the alpha to 255.
