Creating a photo gallery using behaviors?

I am re-designing a website, and I'm a little stuck on how to re-create the photo gallery presentation of the original web site. Here is the original gallery:
http://www.sarahegeller.com/photos
What I'd specifically like to reproduce is the ability to click on a thumbnail, which would bring up the larger image, but with the original window remaining behind, greyed out. I assume this is something I can do with behaviors, but there doesn't seem to be a behavior that addresses this, at least among the behaviors dreamweaver CS 3 comes with. I assume a behavior that would give me the effect I want exists on the dreamweaver exchange, but I couldn't find one. Am I even correct in assuming I could achieve the effect I'm looking for using a behavior?
I'm using dreamweaver CS 3, on a mac.
Thanks for taking the time to read this query.
Yours,
Nick

The effect you're aiming for is a currently popular one known as a Lightbox.
There is no in built Dreamweaver behaviour for this. You'll need to look for 3rd party solutions such as jQuery.
From the page code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/sites/all/modules/lightbox2/js/auto_image_handling.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/sites/all/modules/lightbox2/js/lightbox.js"></script>
The effect on that particular site is created with a Drupal module: Lightbox2
http://drupal.org/project/lightbox2

Creating short photo gallery using previous and next frame A3.0

I'm creating a simple photo gallery.
Can someone tell me the right code this is what I'm remember. I forgot.
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goNext);
previous_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goBack);
function goNext(e:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("nextFrame");
function goBack(e:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("previoudFrame");
I know it's wrong can someone help me out?
Thanks

inside your functions use just
nextFrame();
and
prevFrame();
and get rid of those gotoAndStop and it should work...

I am having trouble creating a photo gallery using CSS

Help with Photo Gallery using XML file

I am creating a photo gallery using Spry. I used the Photo Gallery Demo (Photo Gallery Version 2) on the labs.adobe.com website. I was successful in creating my site, and having the layout I want. However I would like to display a caption with each photo that is in the large view.
As this example uses XML, I updated my file to look like this:
<photos id="images">
            <photo path="aff2010_01.jpg" width="263" height="350" thumbpath="aff2010_01.jpg" thumbwidth="56"
               thumbheight="75" pcaption="CaptionHere01"></photo>
            <photo path="aff2010_02.jpg" width="350" height="263" thumbpath="aff2010_02.jpg" thumbwidth="75"
               thumbheight="56" pcaption="CaptionHere02"></photo>
            <photo path="aff2010_03.jpg" width="350" height="263" thumbpath="aff2010_03.jpg" thumbwidth="75"
               thumbheight="56" pcaption="CaptionHere03"></photo>
</photos>
The images when read into the main file (index.asp) show the images in the thumbnail area and display the correct image in the picture pain. Since I added the pcaption field to the XML file, how do I get it to display? The code in my index.html file looks like this:

rest of the code here:
        <div id="previews">
            <div id="controls">
                <ul id="transport">
                    <li><a href="#" class="previousBtn" title="Previous">Previous</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#" class="playBtn" title="Play/Pause" id="playLabel"><span class="playLabel">Play</span><span class="pauseLabel">Pause</span></a></li>
                    <li><a href="#" class="nextBtn" title="Next">Next</a></li>
                </ul>
            </div>
            <div id="thumbnails" spry:region="dsPhotos" class="SpryHiddenRegion">
                <div class="thumbnail" spry:repeat="dsPhotos"><a href="{path}"><img alt="" src="{thumbpath}"/></a><br /></div>
                <p class="ClearAll"></p>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div id="picture">
            <div id="mainImageOutline"><img id="mainImage" alt="main image" src=""/><br /> Caption: {pcaption}</div>
        </div>
        <p class="clear"></p>
    </div>
Any help with getting the caption to display would be greatly appreciated. The Caption {pcaption} does not work,

Creating flash photo gallery with Bridge

This may not be the best way of creating a flash gallery but
I thought I would try it since I'm new to this and it seems faster
then editing all those photos.
When I create the photo gallery using Adobe Bridge and then
try to open the Flash Movie file to edit the movie it tells me
"Cannot open a protected movie"
Does this mean that I cannot edit the movie after Bridge
creates it or is there a way around this?

Welcome Alex -
Any picture you display on your site can be saved to the visitor's computer.
If you ZIP each gallery, a simple link to the zipped archive will offer the visitor
an option to save to their computer.

How can I create a photo gallery in flash cs3, Iam a beginner in flash

How can I create a photo gallery to put into my current flash site Iam creating? Using flash cs3, can anybody suggest any tutorials (noting complicated with me being new to flash cs3)
When going on line I saw that maybe you can use Dreamweaver, XML, or even Photoshop can anybody explain the difference between using one or the other?
THanks

Creating a photo gallery like the China Gallery in Adobe Labs. How?

I have photos in several categories (I'll use 2, "frank" and "wolfie" as examples here). What I'd like to do is build a photo gallery like the China Photo Gallery shown in the Adobe Labs site, where the user can switch between categories without going to a different page. Here's what I've done so far and how I'm stuck:
I created a photo gallery with the instructions in the tutorial "Building a photo album with the Spry Framwork". I then inserted a Tabbed Panels widget for navigating between the categories.
I set up an XML file as follows:
/* frank category */
<photo
path = "001p.png"
width = "467"
height = "467"
thumbpath = "001p.png"
thumbwidth = "85"
thumbheight = "85">
</photo>
/* wolfie category */
<photo
path = "001f.png"
width = "467"
height = "467"
thumbpath = "001f.png"
thumbwidth = "85"
thumbheight = "85">
</photo>
To create the div holding the thumbnails for the "frank" category, I entered the following:
<div class="thumbdiv" spry:region="dsGallery"><img src="thumbnails/frank/{@thumbpath}" spry:repeat="dsGallery" spry:setrow="dsGallery" class="thumbs" /></div>
To create the div where the full size images will be displayed, I entered the following:
<div class="mainpic" spry:detailregion="dsGallery"><img src="images/frank/{@path}" onload="MM_effectAppearFade(this, 1500, 0, 100, false)" /></div>
Then, in the tabbed panel set for the "wolfie" category, I did the same thing, substituting "wolfie" for "frank". However, since there is only one xml file, spaceholders for all of the thumbnails appear in the thumbnail div for the frank category. I realize that I'll probably need to create a separate xml file for each category, but how do I set it up so the correct xml file is accessed when the link in the tab is clicked? Or am I approaching this all wrong?
From reviewing the source for the China gallery, it appears that they set up links to different xml files instead of Tabbed Panels. How does that work? There are also some javascript files I can't find anywhere on Adobe's site.
Thanks

Hi,
If you have seperate XML file but with the same basic structure then you can change the XML a Spry dataset refers to and regenerate the spry region without reloading the full page.
So on my photo gallery page I can change the album the photos are shown from via the seturl sprydata function as below. dsPhotos being my Spry dataset that points to the relevant XML dataset with my image references and captions etc. My XML is actually dynamically generated from Picasa RSS feeds (and RSS feeds are XML) but the principle will be the same with your static XML.
First I add an event listener for when someone clicks on an album (the li tag within my div with the id "albums" holds a photo and title for each album.)
function Albums()
var myalbums = Spry.$$("#albums li", "TabbedPanels1")
var rows = dsAlbums.getData();
var setListener = function( element, value )
Spry.Utils.addEventListener( element, "click", function(){ showAlbum( value ); },false );
for( var i = 0, length = myalbums.length; i < length; i++ )
setListener( myalbums[i], i );
Then this is the code which changes the photo album to be shown. (when the user clicks the relevant album)
function showAlbum(i)
pauseShow();
pImage = 'No';
var rows = dsAlbums.getData();
var albumid = rows[i]["albumid"];
var url = "xml/PicasaAphotoFeed.asp?albumid=" + albumid;
dsPhotos.setURL(url);
dsPhotos.loadData();
var rowcount = dsAlbums.getRowCount() - 1;
var nextalbum;
var navnext;
var n;
The page is here www.thehmc.co.uk/photo5.html is you want to see it in context.
In your case showAlbum would switch between Frank.xml or Wolfie.xml depending on how you decide to name your xml datasets.
Regards
Phil

Photo Gallery using Bridge CS4 - trying to follow instructions, but no luck

I'm running Photoshop CS4 Extended, and am trying to figure out how to create a Photo Gallery.
Adobe instructions for using Bridge to create a photo gallery say this:
Adobe Output Module provides a variety of templates for your gallery, which you can select using the Output panel. Each template has one or more style options, which you can select and customize to suit your needs.
Important: Though gallery previews display a maximum of 10 files, your complete gallery will appear when you save or upload it.
Select the files or the collection or folder that contains the images you want to include in the web gallery.
Choose Window > Workspace > Output.
If the Output workspace is not listed, select Adobe Output Module in Startup Scripts preferences.
PROBLEMS:
(1)In Bridge, there is no such item as Output under Window > Workspace.
(2)In Photoshop, there is no such item as "Startup Scripts" in Edit > Preferences.
(3)In the Adobe CS4 Sample Scripts/JavaScript directory, there is no such item as Adobe Output Module.
There must be some other secret that the instructions forgot to mention... but what IS it???

Finally noticed I was running Bridge CS3 --- my old shortcut apparently still pointed to that version, even though I do have CS4 installed.
When I launch Bridge from within Photoshop, version CS4 does come up.
Will now go explore further, using the proper release...

What is the best way to create a photo gallery?

Hi,
I want to create a photo gallery in Dreamweaver without using any pre-built "web gallery" function. What's the best way to swap the images when I click the "next" button? Do I create a new Dreamweaver page for each photograph? Is there a more efficient way to do it than that?
Thanks,
Gordon

Is there a more efficient way to do it than that?
Most definitely. With scripts.

Is it possible to create a Photo Gallery DVD with downloadable content?

I am looking for a way to create a photo gallery, distribute it via DVD, and have the end user be able to download the photos from within the photo gallery. This would function exactly like the iPhoto web galleries, but would be distributed on DVD rather than posted to the web. Is this possible? I am looking for a way for a user to download the photos, in low res and high res, from within the DVD player.

My first suggestion is to use Apple's Pro apps (ie, DVDSP) if you plan to use this DVD commercially. You'll get far better results and you will also be able to meet nearly all of the above objectives.
If on the other hand you don't have the time to learn apple's pro apps which does have a large learning curve compared to the i-apps, and you are currently working with a shoestring budget, then you can meet at least some of these objectives within iDvd by adding your content to the Dvd rom section of the Dvd. The app that one uses to play the slideshow from this data section of the Dvd depends largely on the available apps on the host computer system having access to this data in terms of what software is available to play its content. Hope this makes sense but if not, just come on back. Good luck.
Btw ... I'll check back with you later tonight since I have a fair amount of editing to do this AM.

Can't create web photo gallery with modified RAW files

I can use CS-2 to create a web photo gallery using unmodified RAW files, this seems to work fine.
However, after I tweak the exposure of a RAW file and a .xmp file has been created, if I try to create a web photo gallery, the program goes through the motions but no thumbnails or (bigger) jpg files are created. The resulting web photo gallery pages are just filled with broken link icons.
What's up?
Windows 2000
Photoshop CS-2
Cannon RAW files (.CR2 extensions)
Thanks,
Mark

I believe it may be to do with the sidecar files. My girlfriend has similar issues on Windows XP.
I have tried to recreate the problem here (on Mac OSX) but it all works fine for me, so i can't fully test it, but here is what i believe may be happening....
The sidecar file has the same name as the actual raw file (except the extension of course), so when the web gallery script is processing it, it does the raw file, then overwrites by trying to process the xmp file as an image, but of course it can't and then you end up with no image file in your thumbnail, or image directories in the web gallery for that image.
Two options you can try...
1) go into bridge and select the images to process in there (xmp files shouldn't show up there) and then use the Tools/Photoshop menu to access the WGB and choose 'Selected Bridge Images' as the source. (this has been tested successfully on win xp)
2) in the camera raw plugin, go into preferences and change the 'sidecar xmp' option to 'camera raw database'. You will then probably need to delete any sidecar files for the folder you wish to process and reapply your raw adjustments. If the problem is what i suspect (as above) this should also work, though i haven't been able to test.
Obviously you don't need to worry about the 'down rezzing' mentioned above as the web gallery builder should already be doing this for you...unless you changed it.

Can I create a photo gallery with CS4?

I have CS4--Is it outdated, or can I still create a photo gallery to be loaded to a web site with CS4?
Procedure?
I have two galleries that I created with CS4 3 years ago....Is it still possible?
Photoshop---Lightroom--Bridge?

Yes. Use Bridge--output

Creating a Photo Gallery

Hello there,
I've, for a considerable amount of time now, been trying to
create a photo gallery the same as the one on the following site:
http://www.workingtitlefilms.com/film.php?filmID=38.
I just don't seem to be able to make it and would be very grateful
if somebody could help me through the entire process.
If you don't know which part of the site I'm meaning then
please feel free to email me and I'll send you a screen shot of the
object I'm wanting to create; my email address is:
[email protected]
Thanks in advance,
Kristopher (UK).

You will need to create a movieClip to hold the scolling
pictures and a clip to present the pics. The scrolling clip uses
mouse coordinates to control the scroll and a click event to pass
the picture info to the pic clip. There are many ways to develop
this. I have done these in the past. You are looking at many hours
of coding and defelopment to get it done.
Email me if you would like to discuss this further.

Create a photo gallery

I want to make a photo gallery for my website. I have all the photos uploaded to the site. I have their urls. What I want, is an application that will connect to an xml file on my website and find the urls in it, so that when I want to change photos I just adjust the xml document and don't have to reupload the application and so forth. A few questions, like, how. And how to make the xml document and how to write it in the right way. Thank you.

Hi there these blog post shows you how to create a photo gallery in Flex using an xml file.
