Slideshow overlays
Note:
Use the Object States panel to create a set of images for a slideshow. Each state, or slide, can contain multiple objects. For example, if you want a
different text frame to appear with each image, combine the image and text frame on the same state.
Slideshow states support any interactive overlay except for slideshows.

Hot Spot Button Workaround
Slideshow images are converted into PNG images in the folio.
Currently, you cannot make a slideshow play in full-screen mode without using HTML.
1. In InDesign, use the Object States panel (Window > Interactive > Object States) to create a slideshow. (For details, see
in InDesign Help.)
When you create a multi-state object, you insert images, align them in an article, and convert the article to a multi-state object.
2. In the Object States panel, specify an object name.
When your multi-state objects in the horizontal and vertical documents have both the same object name and individual state names, the
slideshow maintains continuity when the iPad is rotated. In addition, using a descriptive name makes analytics reports easier to understand.
To avoid errors, do not include punctuation or extended characters in the object name or object state name.
3. Create navigation buttons that browse through the states in the multi-state object.
Use the Go To State action to refer to a specific slide. Use the Go To Next State and Go To Previous State actions to navigate through
slides.
The Sample Buttons panel in InDesign includes a library of navigation buttons. If you use these sample buttons, delete the existing action
and replace with a Go To Next State or Go To Previous State action.
The Show/Hide Button action isn’t supported
in DPS articles, so how do you create hot
spot buttons? Bob Bringhurst shows a
workaround....
