    How to have Flash slideshows "share" same space on a web page?

    It's nice to have the new slideshow-creation feature. I've successfully entered the code it generates on my home page, and I like the look. Now, what I'd like to do is enable the user to select from a list of several of my ZF galleries and have any selection play in that one designated  slideshow "space" (i.e., the same area) on my page. Just as in YouTube.com, etc.  I imagine there's a simple, even obvious way to do that, but I need guidance. I suppose one (brute force) way would be to have each gallery selection be a link to alternative home pages (identical except for the code needed for each particular slideshow). Any other–more elegant–way to get this effect...?

    If you have complete control of the html and javascript on your site, then it can be done with some fairly straightforward javascript.  

     

    The idea is to put all the slide shows on the page and just change the display property of them so that only a single one is showing. (that one would be "display:block", the others would be "display:none").

    If you aren't familiar with how to set this up then your 'brute force' method is your best bet.
