Creating a xml photo gallery

I am wondering if there is a way to use data stored as part
of the image (tag data?) like the title of the image and
accompanying comments to display in the
<caption></caption> section of the xml file.
right now I have php write the xml file in the following
format
<gallery>
<image>
<url></url>
<caption></caption>
<width></width>
<height></height>
</image>
</gallery>
The php just pulls all the images from a folder so the
gallery gets updated when I add images to the folder. Now I would
like to know if that info from the file (the stuff you see when you
right click the file to see its properties, then the summary) can
be generated under the caption section. This way the captions can
be automatically generated without me having to type it in for each
image.
I am using this for our school website. It is for our staff
page. I am hoping to just drop the images of the staff in a folder
and have the page update that way and include the staff member name
and their teaching assignment as part of the "title" and "comments"
section of the tag data of the image.
Thanks
Darren

Hi Darren,
Last week I was troubleshooting a photo gallery, and
discover a PHP class does this. This program will extract EXIF
information from the image file. It is called Exifer.
The URL for more info is at:

Good luck

Error in creating XML photo gallery with Flash CS4 and AS 3.0

Hello, all. I've been creating an XML photo gallery with Flash CS4 and AS 3.0 following a tutorial. I followed the instructions step-by-step but at the end I got the following error message instead:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
Could anyone in the community assist me as to how to solve the problem? The script has no errors and last time I checked all the applicable files (the .xml file, the .jpg files, the .swf and the .fla file) are in my Documents folder on the Mac.
Looking forward to your suggestions!

Check the folder structure
Flash is not able to get some file thats why the IO Error.
trace the url path just before u load the file and u will be abel to find whether that file is in specified folder or not.

XML Photo Gallery - Loader won't load :(

Hi,
I'm trying to make an XML Photo Gallery type thing. For each
'Product' it creates a new instance of a MovieClip from the
library, 'XmlItem' which contains a Loader Component and Dynamic
Text.
The Product Title goes into the Dynamic Text perfectly. The
problem is with the Loader Component. It simply REFUSES to load the
images. There's an exception. If I deliberately cause a syntax
error in the Loader Component's code, then the pictures load! What
the hell?
Oh, also I'm having trouble with the placement of the XmlItem
instances... For each of them, what position is _x relative to?
Thanks very much in advance for any help,
Tim.
Code:

my_ldr must exist on all frames or, if you navigate to a frame where it doesn't exist, you must create another loader with the "new" constructor. in the later situation, you'll need to (re)define your button actions too because the new loader will need to before referenced in the button listener functions. even if you use the same name, my_ldr, you'll probably need to re-define your buttons.

XML photo gallery tutorial

hi guys,
I need to create a flash photo gallery that loads the photos
and photo title with xml but can't seems to b able to find a
suitable one.
this is what i need to do
http://www.afterlights.com/phuket/photo_gallery.html
basically the photos, thumbnails and photo description will
be all controlled by xml
i've created the flash with everything loaded in flash by
hard code now, can anyone share any similar tutorial that can do
something like this?
million thanks in advance!

So this is the information that I'm using which leads me to believe I can use the xml feed to populate the slider.
http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1780
. You can now style this using your own CSS or use one of the many free, jQuery-based Gallery/Slideshow plugins available on the web, such as Galleria, the jQuery Cycle plugin, or InnerFade.
When using a seperate jQuery plugin on top of this set up, make sure you place and execute the plugin script after the code we just inserted, so that our LI items are generated before it attempts to process and manipulate them.
Am I right and it just takes the proper coding?

Need Help Removing XML Photo Gallery on Button Click

Hi, I'm new to flash so this might seem like a dumb question, but I'm right in the middle of designing a photography site and need some help. I have 4 buttons in my timeline that go to the corresponding frame labels when clicked, above each frame label is a keyframe with actionscript applied to it, that will load an external XML photo gallery. I need the current photo gallery that's on the screen to disappear when I click on a new button to load the new XML photo gallery. this is the code that will be above each frame label with a few changes, then below this is the code for my buttons. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you Code: Select all var imageX:XML; var imageList:XMLList; var canvas:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); var picLoader:Loader; addChild(canvas); canvas.x = -155; canvas.y = 160; var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("gallery.xml"); var imageLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); imageLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete); imageLoader.load(req); function onComplete(e:Event):void { imageX = new XML(imageLoader.data); imageList = imageX.image; picLoader = new Loader(); picLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event .COMPLETE, imageLoaded); picLoader.load(new URLRequest (imageList[0].url)); } function imageLoaded(e:Event):void { canvas.addChild(picLoader); } Code for the buttons in different keyframe. Code: Select all stop(); kids_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onKidsClick); couples_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onCouplesClick); portraits_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onPortraitsClick); bellies_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onBelliesClick); function onKidsClick(e:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop("kids"); } function onCouplesClick(e:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop("couples"); } function onPortraitsClick(e:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop("portraits"); } function onBelliesClick(e:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop("bellies"); }

How do I create a web photo gallery in Photoshop CC?

In previous versions of Photoshop I go to "file", "automate", and create a web photo gallery. That option is not available in Photoshop CC. Tutorials online teach how to create this through Bridge but I can't seem to find it there either. Please help!

Maybe this will help ( a bit )

Create a web photo gallery, in PSE8????

In a old version of elements, like verssion 2, you could create a web photo gallery. You can also do this in Photshop.
I just purchased PSE8 and I cannot find it in there. Since this the bulk of my work, uploading photo galleries to car websites I look after, this could be a real problem for me.
Is it in there & I'm just looking in the wrong palce or is there a plug inn I can get/purchase?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated
Kind Regads
Cam

I still have PSE2 so it's no drama.
It just defeats the purpose of me upgrading from that point of view.
Like Eric says I too do not want the "flash-based web pages " as nice as they are.
I cant see why they couldn't have left in the html gallery feature in as well as having the flash. I see it all the time. Packages move forward at the expense of other features being removed.
I got the new package PSE8 and PRE8 as they could supposedly talk to each other. Now I find I'm still having to use an older and much simpler application to get the job done.
I also run two screens and when I move one of these new applications to the second larger screen it spits the dummy.
Me thinks I'll just stick with my old proven products that never fail or hang. Every time I try to move with the times something like this happens.
I fear application/software creators/designers of the day have lost the plot.
Ahh, I feel better now. LOL!!

Is there a widget to create a product photo gallery?

I am looking for a widget to create a product photo gallery in muse like the one shown in the link below. It needs to show product images with a title which when clicked takes you to a specific product page. Ideally I'd like to be able to sort the content by name so that adding new products to the gallery is easy.

How to create animated xml flash gallery ?

I am a new starter . I want to create a xml flash gallery ,
but i dnt know how to create it ....Can any one let me know what is
the procedure to do this dynamically .....
Thanks

If you are using Actionscript 3, there is a pretty good
tutorial on working with XML files here:
http://www.gotoandlearn.com/player.php?id=64
The home page of that site provides numerous other tutorial
links that may come in handy for you in other projects.
You will also need to become familiar with the Loader object
and the addChild method in order to dynamically insert externally
stored images. Look for the "Loading display objects" section in
the Flash help documentation.
I'd recommend just getting one image to load/display to
become familiar, then you can decide how you want/need to make the
rest of the design work.

Issues importing XML photo gallery SWF in Catalyst

Hey everyone,
I'm creating a mini-site using Catalyst, and am trying to include a photo gallery on one of the pages. Problem is, the photo gallery uses XML, and grabs the photos from a folder. The photo gallery works great on its own, but when I import the gallery SWF into Catalyst and run it, nothing shows up. I've found a few posts saying to move the XML and other corresponding files into the "/Library/Application Support/ Adobe/Flash Catalyst/workspace/Project/bin-debug" folder, and tried it with no luck. I even tried publishing the project (both locally and to the web), and then adding the XML and photo folder in, but still didn't have any luck getting it to work. Has anyone had any similar issues/ have an idea of how to fix it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've been pointing people here for issues relating to xml driven swfs.
http://flashcats.net/2010/05/29/using-an-xml-driven-swf-in-catalyst/
Also, in regards to the previous comment, the run-local will work on your machine, the deploy-to-web when you put the content on the internet. This post has a bit more information.

AS3 xml photo gallery

I'm fairly new to flash, and after reading a few online
tutorials on trying to make xml photo galleries (specifically the
one here:
http://www.tutorio.com/tutorial/simple-flash-xml-photogallery)
I'm trying to figure things out.
I want to make something similar, but have the photos line up
in columns (not rows), and once there are a certain number of
photos in a column (in this case, 6) have them load into another
column.
I have been trying to mess around with the AS given in the
tutorial as well as what I've been reading on the net, and here is
what I have so far:
I'm loading the images and thumbs through the images.xml
file. On my stage I only have 2 movie clips (loader &
thumbnails) and a dynamic text field (title_txt). Any thoughts??? I
really am new to this, but I'm trying hard to figure it out - I'm
at the point now where I need help.
Thanks!

You can add a drop shadow filter by creating a new variable
at the top of the code:
var dropShadow:DropShadowFilter = new
DropShadowFilter(PARAMETERS);
You can test different parameters to change the appearence -
see this page on the livedocs, or look at Flash help for the
accepted parameters:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Liv eDocs_Parts&file=00001633.html
I thought you would be asking about making a fade transition,
it aways makes it look much better.
I would definitely recommend downloading the "Tweener"
library and placing the "caurina" folder in the same folder as your
FLA or in your "global ActionScript directory". This tutorial will
teach you all about Tweener:
http://www.gotoandlearn.com/player.php?id=45
Attached code includes a fade in and out transition on the
images and adds a drop shadow to the thumbnails.
I also realised (after testing for the first time!) that the
thumbs were lining up vertically instead of in columns and I
corrected the following 2 lines of code:
thumb.x = xOffset + (thumbWidth+xspacing)*i; //j becomes i
thumb.y = yOffset + (thumbHeight+yspacing)*j; //i becomes
j
