Deciding how to present photo gallery in existing swf file

I have created a flash website that looks like this (see below). When you click on any of the menu buttons (home, architecture, etc), the menu bar stays stationary while everything else slides horizontally. The title of the page (black with yellow outer glow) scrolls horizontally as well and stops as you see here to show the next page has "arrived" or loaded. There is no page loading or timeline jumping in Flash. It's all programmed for the menu buttons to trigger the entire site to start moving.
My problem is trying to figure out the best way to show images for the portfolio. Each page will have pics depending on the category, and I am wanting to display them as best as possible. I considered using a Web Gallery made through Bridge, but it makes an HTML file that won't slide like the rest of the site will. I am needing the images to slide as well like the rest. Because of this, the images at some point have to be Movie Clips so the script will move them accordingly.
Is there any way to have the images as MC's, bring them into view, and then somehow make them clickable that starts up LightBox2 or a Bridge-made Web Gallery of those images? Or am I screwed?

Yes, that kind of thumbnail - large image viewer can be created in Flash. There are literally hundreds of variations available. As an example, I have six versions available on my personal site: http://robdillon.com/flash.html . You can freely download the source files for each of these and adapt one of them if you like.
Here's a link to good tutorial on a different style of gallery: http://www.flashmagazine.com/tutorials/detail/as3_photo_gallery/
and another: http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/as3gridgallery/
As you'll each one follows a similar design structure. You may be able to put together something that meets your needs based on parts of several of these examples.

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.

SWF files are flash files, which are not supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
If you want to play the file then the iSwifter or Skyfire browser apps might work (they don't work on all flash sites) but you won't be able to download it

How can I save a Flash or .swf file in AVI format without losing quality?

How can I save a Flash or .swf file in AVI (or another video) format without losing quality?

As long as you don't have code in your animation then just hit File->Export->Export Movie, then configure the options.
Here's an article on exporting sound, images and video. Just skip on down to exporting AVI and it explains the process. The codec is in the Video Compression section. When you click Settings for Video Compression, the codec is in the drop-down at the top. There's various kinds but to get lossless quality AVI you'll have to choose Uncompressed / None for full quality. Again, the file will be huge and you'll need to use another program (like Adobe Media Encoder) or Microsoft Windows Media Encoder, etc, depending on what format you intend to compress it ultimately.

Resize your photos as needed to cut down their size use jpg
or png format.
save then in an outside folder.
next inside the directory you use for your web files create a
directory
with either the sme name as the outside folder or name
desired open that
directory.
Open up Dreamweaver and create a Blank HTML page.
Now go to Commands menu and and choose create web Photo
album...
next a menu will pop up and ask directory where images are
located. Then
will ask the destination directory browse to the new
directory you
created. You will also settings for Thumbnail size and
whether to use
captions if you do use captions it will use the file name of
of each
image and you will have to go in and edit the caption names
for the
photos as desired when everything is setup fireworks will
takeover and
create the album. it will create three subdirectories one
with the full
size photos , one with the thumbs, and one with the html
information for
each photo. Plus three other files in main directory one
being an html
file. once completed and Fireworks returns editing back to
Dreamweaver
close and don't save the blank html file. the index file
needed will be
created by Fireworks.
open the index file inside you album directory and edit
cations as needed.
Remember if you do this you'll need a total of 3 times files
of the
photos you use for example.
if you have 30 photos it will be a total of four directories
and 93 files.
for 20 it would be 63 files, for 10 33 files and so on.
If you need to add photos or take away photos the method is
to start
over from scratch and use you FTP program to do a recursive
delete on
the directory then re-upload.

How to create photo gallery rollover?

I want to create a photo gallery similar to that created by the slideshow widget where rollover on the thumbnail changes the enlarged image but I wish to place the individual thumbnails wherever I want (not grouped) eg. one thumbnail on the right, one thumbnail on the left etc. Can someone direct me to a tutorial or step by step instructions on how to accomplish this. I am trying to evaluate the software for purchase. Thanks

I answered my own question.
It's Design tab/ Object/ Insert Composition/ Lightbox Display. The thumbnails can be moved anywhere unlike the slideshow widget where they are grouped in one location.

Problem integrating slideshowpro flash photo gallery into existing page

Hi, I have a photo gallery made with slideshow pro which you
can see on the page
http://theoldfort.com/slideshow/slideshow.html.
All the files are located in a directory on the server root called
slideshow. However I would like to put this flash animation onto an
exisiting page in the root namely
http://theoldfort.com/picture_gallery.htm.
That way it will have the same layout as the other pages. I tried
exchanging the flash animation from slideshow.htm to
picture_gallery.htm and then included the subdirectory name
(slideshow/slideshow.swf) in the path but didn't succeed.
Thanks for your assitance in advance.

Thanks tweaked eye! You can check it out on
http://theoldfort.com/picture_gallery.htm.
The code is there and its black but not loading for whatever
reason. I included the swf on that page with the path,
slideshow/slideshow.swf. The files for the flash animation are
located in the slideshow file on the website server root... I think
it's something mixed up in the code but I can't see what it could
possibly be.

How to get data from an existing Excel file using report generation toolkit

I'm trying to use the Excel Get Data vi from the report generation toolkit, but i can't figure out how to turn a browsable path into the right type for the VI. I've tried using the New Report.vi, but that doesn't work unless you use a template. It won't open an existing excel file and make it an open report to pull data from.
Essentially, i have a bunch of excel files that have data in them and i want to use a VI to analyze the data. So, i'm trying to pull in all the data directly from the excel file so i don't have to reproscess them all into text so i can use the more standard spreadsheet VIs. But to even convert the excel file programtically in labview won't i still need to be able to open the excel file and get the data?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I C.
Got it,
the reason why I can view it using my Excel file because its in .CSV.
I open Microsoft Excel to open .CSV file.
But you can also open .csv file with notepad.
So, you cannot open .xls with Read Spreadsheet File
