However when using my interactive buttons to navigate between the 2 types of pages the arrows aren't working properly. From a swf page to regular page it skips over the next page then jumps back. any ideas? anyone experienced this problem? Hi I’ve created and interactive pdf with imbedded swf pages and regular pages.

Sorry about that. You will have to mess around with the delays until you get everything right. Good luck! You need to loop them in the animation panel (not the timing panel). Sorry about that.

If you are looking to create a SWF based slideshow, it really isn't possible to have a slideshow play on page load. Object state slideshows require user interactive to go between states. However, you could have a series of images animate in and disappear one after another, then repeat them with the timing panel. However, if you are using the Adobe Digital Publishing suite (creating apps for the iPad), you can use the overlay creator to auto play the slideshow on page load. @Teri,

One simple question: can I made an object state be a slide show without having to click on a button to activate it to go to "next state" or "previous state". I want it to play the slide show upon load. Is that possible in CS5? I am new to Indesign and not familiar with a lot of the above.
