Bridge CS4 / Flash Web Gallery

Hi!
I'm trying to create a web gallery in Bridge CS4.
If I save to disk, then it'll run fine locally, but once uploaded it won't any more.
No idea why. It used to work, and as far as I know, I altered *nothing*.
Here is one that did work:
http://www.moonglade.net/~rene/testflash/
(uploaded using Fetch)
Here's one that I ftp'd from Bridge. Works as well:
http://www.moonglade.net/~rene/test
Here is the exact same gallery as the one above, saved to HDD, then uploaded using Fetch.
http://www.moonglade.net/~rene/test1/
Both of the later galleries don't have a folder "bin" created, which the first one did.
Also weird, is that when I used CyberDuck to upload the "test1" gallery, I got a "403" error when trying to view it...
HTML galleries work "so so" for me.
Again: looks fine locally, looks off once uploaded.
Error 403: http://www.moonglade.net/~rene/testHTML/
Looks off: http://www.moonglade.net/~rene/testHTMLFetch/
(strange symbol on the top, when clicked, the images appear off center, and with a dark line above them)
Again, does look okay when uploaded through Bridge instead of Fetch:
Works: http://www.moonglade.net/~rene/testHTMLBridge/
A few other points I have with the web galleries through BridgeCS4: There seems to be no option to watermark, or to convert the images to sRGB? These images are AdobeRGB, with embedded profile, which will look like crap in any non color managed browser. Not ideal, to say the least.
Also repaired permissions and such. Then restart.
No help.
I've tried resetting all prefs for bridge, and even installed the entire CS4 anew.
No help.
I'm at a loss here. Might be something simple I'm missing, but I don't see it...
Guess I'll just have to use LR to build web galleries.
OSX 10.4.11
G5 2x2GHz
5.5Gb Ram
31Gb free on an 160Gb HDD

I discovered a way to create a Bridge CS4 gallery that works in all browsers.
The flash gallery worked great on most browsers - but does not work on the iPhone. My google analytics show that many people are looking at my site via an iPhone.
Take 2 was making an .html gallery. Was able to preview it and it looked great on my computer, but when uploaded to my site the images did not appear, only the names. This indicated the image files had not uploaded. I located the "content" folder within the photo gallery and tried uploading it separately, receiving the error that there was an illegal file name so it couldn't be uploaded.
Take 3 - looked at the file names in the folder "content" and realized the sub folder name "bin" was probably causing the problem to solve it (it is assumed that you manage your site with Dreamweaver CS4):
Open Dreamweaver CS4
Locate the "bin" file in the "files" palatte and select it
In the drop-down menu in the upper right of the files pallet choose
>file
>rename
>then rename the file, I used "source"
Dreamweaver will ask you permission to update linked files - say YES
The gallery will now work on all browsers.

Flash web gallery NEED HELP

I have no clue how to program these flash galleries....My
site www.al-burke.com contains a flash web gallery that I purchased
online and I have been able to upload it to the site but its says
movie not loaded. I have all the neccessary files in place I
believe (gallery.xlm, main.html, main.swf) all under a folder. Can
anyone please help me out? Thanks

Does it work when you test it from your local drive? If it
does, but doesn't work when you post the files to the server, you
may not have uploaded all of the parts correctly. If it doesn't
work when testing from the files on your harddrive either, then
there is a linking issue - have you moved any of the files after
the gallery was created...? (If so, the links will be broken).
You also reference a file named "main.html" - this isn't the
name of the file that's posted - if you created a file named that,
then changed the name to index.html without updating the links when
prompted, that will also break the links...
Hope that helps...

Needed: variable weblinks in flash web gallery title & caption fields

I know that one can put a fixed URL as custom text into a LR flash web gallery title or caption fields and simply click on that field in a gallery and go to that website. However, that URL is fixed and shows up for all images in the gallery. I would like the ability to have that URL vary by image. That is, I want to be able to setup custom text for a title or caption gallery field that inserts an image's certain metadata value(s) within a URL string. E.g., have LR web gallery custom text of the form:
click here for foobar
result in the browser going to URL held in the current image's title metadata.
This almost works now (LR v1.4) ... Such a custom text title displays correctly. And if I left click on it and choose "copy link", the correct URL is in fact there. Unfortunately a right click doesn't take me there as it would if the custom text was a constant URL string, instead of having one or more embedded image metadata tokens.

whoops, I didn't know that my post's example custom text string would be interpreted as a hyperlink :>) Here's the example text without the enclosing "a brackets".
href="{title}">click here for foobar

Variable weblinks in Flash web gallery title & caption fields

I know that one can put a fixed URL as custom text into a LR flash web gallery title or caption fields and simply click on that field in a gallery and go to that website. However, that URL is fixed and shows up for all images in the gallery. I would like the ability to have that URL vary by image. That is, I want to be able to setup custom text for a title or caption gallery field that inserts an image's certain metadata value(s) within a URL string. E.g., be able to enter for these LR Flash web gallery fields custom text of the form:
#A href="{title}">click here for foobar#click here for foobar#/A#
where "#" = enclosing html brackets
and where {title} is an image's LR title metadata (e.g., "http://www.foobar.com")
Left clicking on such a custom field should take the browser to webpage whose URL is held in the current image's title metadata.
This almost works now (LR v1.4) ... Such a custom text title displays correctly (i.e., just an underlined "click here for foobar"). And if I right click on it and choose "copy link", the correct URL from that image's metadata is in fact there. Unfortunately a left click just doesn't take the browser there.
This capability would be useful for providing image info which either won't fit (e.g., extended caption info) or is technically not easy to place (e.g., a dynamic *.mov pano view) on an image's web gallery page.

Just a comment about the web link in general -- Make sure your URL link actually works in the live /internet world. I have found that it doesn't. It looks great on your computer but when you actually build the web gallery, the link doesn't go anywhere.

Edit Photoshop Flash Web Gallery

Hi!
I'm completely new to Flash but I've been trying to edit the
Flash gallery 1 included in Photoshop CS2. What I like to do is to
make links from the title in the head. I figured out how I can copy
the code for the email field that already exists. But I cant really
understand how I change it so it works on a webpage instead of an
email.
The template I'm using can be downloaded here:
Photoshop
Flash Web Gallery
I found the specific code in title.class.as
The code I want to change looks like this:
if (email != undefined) {
var emailObj = this.createEmptyMovieClip('email_mc',
this.nextDepth())
emailObj.beenClicked = false;
//trace ('we have email info it is '+email);
currentY -= titleH2.size;
emailObj.createTextBlock('email_txt', currentX, currentY,
'dynamic', titleH2, 1600, 20, false, false, true, false, email,
config.embedFont, false);
emailObj.email_txt._width = emailObj.email_txt.textWidth+10;
emailObj.email_txt.textColor = theGallery.link.toHex();
emailObj.onRollOver = emailObj.onDragOver = function () {
//trace("over");
this.email_txt.textColor = theGallery.link.toHex();
emailObj.onRollOut = emailObj.onDragOut = function () {
//trace("out");
if (this.beenClicked == false){
this.email_txt.textColor = theGallery.link.toHex();
} else {
this.email_txt.textColor = theGallery.vlink.toHex();
emailObj.onPress = function () {
//trace("out");
this.email_txt.textColor = theGallery.alink.toHex();
emailObj.onRelease = function () {
this.beenClicked = true;
this.email_txt.textColor = theGallery.vlink.toHex();
mailTo ( email)
//trace("release");
What I want to do is to create a link in the code for:
if (one != undefined) {
//trace ('we have a one it is '+one+' that is '+one.length);
currentY -= titleH2.size;
this.createTextBlock('one_txt', currentX, currentY,
'dynamic', titleH2, 1600, 20, false, false, true, false, one,
config.embedFont, false);
Lets say that I want it to link to a page called one.htm
How do I do this?

This would be the least instrusive hack I can find that may get you around the problem. In the js fle there is a function...
function detectFlash(ver) {
if (getFlashVersion() >= ver) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
Try changing this function to...
function detectFlash(ver) {
if (getFlashVersion() >= ver) {
return true;
} else {
return true;
This should eliminate making the text appear. If not, there's another thing you can try.
A better approach wuld be to use more up to date embedding code, though I cannot say whether the js file is written specifically for this Flash application such that it includes code that talks to the Flash file.

Newbie with flash web gallery

Hi all,
Yes, I am very new at the whole flash process. I am a
photographer who is trying to set up a private link for a flash web
gallery (made in photoshop) for sending at my discretion. I have
successfully made the gallery in photoshop, and now it sits all
nicely in its folder on my desktop. My question is really quite
elementary, as well as embarrassing, but which of those files
within the folder do I send to my potential customer? Do I zip it
all and send via email? Do I have to upload each individual file
from each folder to my server? There has to be an easy way to do
this, I just dont know how.
I would prefer to have it set up on a lone webpage through my
site, but at this point, email would be great to.
Any help would be great!
Thanks.

You need a hosting service for your site, you may already have some space from your ISP. Whoever provides your hosting service will provide you with the log in details you need to upload a gallery using the in built FTP client in LR. See LR help (F1 in LR) here

LR Flash web gallery

I'm having a real problem with creating a flash web gallery in LR. I'm using LR 1.3 and firefox when I upload the gallery and go to view it in firefox it just hangs there saying "loading..." and it never loads. When I create a html gallery it works fine. I really want to use LR flash galleries on my site but I'm afraid I'll have to look for other options if this doesnt work out :(

**Update**
Working now. We were doing javascript:; browser pop to this page and if the Height of the window exceeded the ie6 laptop screen size the flash gallery would fail to work. When I changed the height to 690 (from 800) it worked fine. Go figure...
Is this a known flash issue that I was out of loop on? Do we need to keep window sizes in mind?
I have LR 1.3 and IE6 is not showing thumbnails on my flash gallery output.
Also note that I had to remove the xml doc type (line 1) from the index file or I would get a parse error on our server (it worked fine locally and on my leopard MAMP websrv testing environment.)
Seems to be working on all other browser/platforms but IE6 is by far the most popular for our website.

Insert flash web gallery into webpage

Hi!
How do I integrate a flash web gallery created with photoshop into my own webpage? I have to call the swf from another folder than where all the web gallery stuff is.
For example my webpage is in the folder /index
my gallery swf and all the xml and js and imagefiles are in /index/mygallery
I tried to copy all the css and js stuff from the generated index.htm into my header and copied all the div-content into my page. Than I altered the call of the gallery.swf to mygallery/gallery.swf and in the js in the header I altered mygallery/flashobject.js
But it still does not work!?

Open the xml file and see if there are any folder location that. Other than that it should be working. I haven't tried the flash gallery yet. So I could be off here. Is there another external javascript file that has not been uploaded?

Lightroom Flash Web Gallery Size limitations

I just created a flash web gallery with about 250 images and I can view it fine when open the webpage locally from my computer. But when I upload the folders to my server, the images are taking forever to load, if they even finish loading.
Is this expected? I'm using "large" thumbnail and preview sizes with Quality set to 70.

Customizing Flash Web Gallery in Photoshop

Hoping someone can help me... I'm at my wits end.
I am doing a Flash Web Gallery in Photoshop, the second kind where the images "morph" into horizontal/vertical shapes.
I need to make a couple of customizations to it: First, I would like the TITLE of the image (or description) to appear the whole time on the gallery, NOT just when you hover over it with your mouse.
I need to make the text larger for the titles.
I would like to make the little Controller images on the lower right corner BIGGER, they are so small one can barely see them.
I was able to download the flash source file but my Flash expertise is limited and it looks like all they are are movie clips, you can't acutally MANIPULATE items in there.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
Thanks!

My advice is to get a 3rd party gallery creation program.
Many are free and most are better than Adobe's half-baked offerings.

Flash Web Gallery large photo border erratic behavior

In Lightroom HTML Web Gallery one can define border styles for the displayed photos. I cannot find a similar future in the Flash Gallery however. Is there one??? In any case, the first 6 photos in my Flash Web Gallery appear with a black border around the main large displayed photos. The subsequent photos do not have any border. In either case, it would be nice to have the border appearance consistent and preferably user definable.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi John,
Thanks for that. A bit more digging - preview in browser is fine and export to harddrive then runs in browser OK. I tried HTML gallery and got the same error (No 2 says a file was truncated) so I chucked it all at another server and it seems to be OK. Looks like an ISP problem.
Those unconnected problems were:
Despite repairs I still can't burn to CD, it still says it's been disabled. I don't miss the feature but I like to think my installation is fully functional.
I still seem to have a memory leak in that if I crop,edit and export 46 images as jpg it falls over, very politely - sorry for the inconvenience etc but this is repeatable, yesterday it crashed at 46 and 92 images. I wonder if my 2.3 install was OK and this was behind the second part of my question.

Flash Web Gallery Loader Background

Greetings all,
I am placing a LR Flash Web Gallery in an inline frame of an html page. The page background is 75% Gray.
When the page is displayed, the loader swf appears to have a white background, causing an annoying white flash on the page until the slideshow loads.
Once the slideshow loads, the page looks fine.
I've played with the .xml files, but haven't found a tag that affects that background yet. Anybody experience the same problem?
Many thanks for your help,
Jeff

Hi John,
Thanks for the info and the link...
I read your blog and instead of using an inline frame, embedded the sideshow directly in my page.
Works fine, except now I have to "click to activate control" (Windows curse), which apparently was overridden by a script in LR's generated index.html page.
However, thanks to your suggestions, I used my own overide scripts and embedded the page anyway. A much more elegant solution.
Great blog and thanks for the inspiration.
Best regards,
Jeff

Flash Web Gallery HELP

I decided to create a website to showcase some of my graphic
design work and I have been stumped for over three weeks of how to
insert a flash web gallery. I bought this gallery from Entheosweb
awhile ago and have been trying to correspond with their customer
service but to no avail. I created a basic layout in photoshop with
a simple header and footer and a body thats at least 840 x 490
(dimensions of the gallery). I've been using dreamweaver to upload
the files to my web host and when I exhange the code of the gallery
for the image (body) code it is uploaded but cannot be seen on
http://www.al-burke.com. You
can actually right click the gallery and press play and it will
appear. Will this happen for all visitors to the site? Also, I am
not sure where to put the images and the important files of the
gallery in my root folder. Thanks for your help.

I tried access the URL provide, however, it appears you've
emptied your root directory.

How do I change parimiters in a lightroom flash web gallery?

how do I change perimeters in a lightroom flash web gallery? I have the gallery made up and it works, but the photo info text is small and i see the site title is slammed against the left margin. How do I change these? I've downloaded flash and tried to open, but it doesnt see my gallery files? What am I doing wrong???

As of now you can not -- a good thing to suggest to Apple -- iPhoto menu ==> Provide iPhoto Feedback

Bridge CS4 Flash Gallery Autorun

Good Evening,
I'm trying to have a Flash gallery made with Bridge CS4 autorun when viewed from the website. All the default settings were used in the Bridge output. I have seached other postings with no luck. The following is the flash gallery:
http://www.tyholland.com/albums/samples/sample_photos/index.html
Any ideas on how to make the gallery autorun and loop?
Also can the movie controls be removed once the autorun is working correctly?
Thank you,
Ty

Anyone?
