The slideshow viewer is a add-on module for the University of British Columbia Taiwanese Association Web site. This belongs to a separated section due to the complexity of the project.

The purpose of the module is to load a list of images uploaded by the image module, and parse the list to create a slideshow. To dynamically switch between albums, simple JavaScript were used. Each album also holds a permanent link, so users can bookmark individual album.

The application itself can be stand-alone. It reads the list of images via XML feeds, and loads the images externally. To utilize Flash's functionality, simple fade-in/-outs and fit-to-screen were implemented. It also has a shuffle and a repeat mode with play/pause ability. A scroll bar is available to change any images. Additionally, descriptions of the image will be displayed if available.
