Give this a whirl: it loads the first page if the first slide is at 0.

It doesn't show the first page if the sound is later stopped, but at least it doesn't show a blank page when you init the page,

Subject: Re: Audio Slideshow template

Hi Ron/all,

We have managed to sort out the image issue using the audio slideshow template. However we were wondering whether it is possible for an image to appear on the first page before the audio play button is pressed? At the moment there is a blank white screen above the audio control bar. I'm guessing the answer may be no given page 8 of http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_560 produces similar results. We'll have a look on the TechDis sandpit installation as well!

cheers

Julian
