URGENT - InDesign Help - Page Transitions SWF

Hey!

I am currently trying to create a SWF banner for a website in InDesign.

I need to know how to make page transitions automatically flick between pages without someone clicking or scrolling over the image. I am pretty sure that this can be done.

I dont want to create the banners in Flash because I want them to have automatic timing and take literally no time to change and update in the future.

Can anyone help?

I know how to set the pages up and put a page transition on but can not work out how to get them to automatically play/animate.

I have CS4...

I don't think InDesign is the right package for this. You've mentioned that you want automatic timing - this is exactly what flash does. As for updating them, flash shouldn't be any more work to update than InDesign.

If you are dead set on using InDesign for layout, a better option might be to then take the output files into flash and animate them there.

Make a flash image rotator instead: http://active.tutsplus.com/tutorials/actionscript/create-an-image-rotator-in-flash-using-xml-and-actionscript-3-0/
