Flash & Dreamweaver gallery problem

Hey guys,
I am helping out a friend that I can't let down and I am afraid I may of bitten off more then I can chew.
He wanted me to put up all his fashion shots on a webpage and it is proven harder to combine the flash gallery with html then I thought.
Take a look at : http://williamvintage.atwebpages.com/site/
I want to center the gallery in the middle and have it so that it looks like one white square, which will be centred in the middle of the page.
I sliced up the white background and deleted the middle part thinking it would work, but it has not. I tried placing the gallery on top of the white background with a table, but that didn't work and because the flash gallery enlarges the pictures when clicked it needs more room then the size of the galley it's self.
I used this Gallery and modified the code to suit my needs. I have included the link if that helps : http://www.freeflashcomponents.net/flash-galleries-slideshows/html-xml-image-grid-as2.html
I have to have this completed and uploaded by this monday so if you could help me out asap that would be great.
Cheers.
Dale.

You need to specify the correct path/name for the swf file...
fl_Loader_2.load(new URLRequest("player_black"));
does not do that. As a minimum it should have an ".swf" at the end of the file name, as in "player_back.swf".
Any time you get error messages, you should include both the complete error messages and the relevant code in your initial posting. It can help get to solving think more readily.

Flash & xml gallery problem

i have a flash & xml gallery source. whatever click the
thumbnails, opening first image. where is the problem? i need help,
please...
Flash & Xml
Gallery

then that's a problem. sometimes your cookie may loaded
sooner than the needed frame in your swf and when you try to go to
a frame that hasn't been downloaded, the swf will stay on frame 1.
i assume you already have a stop() on frame 1 and you check
the cookie's value before proceeding. in addition to waiting for
the cookie to load, you should wait for the needed frame of your
swf to load.
so, if you're not using a loop now to check for your cookie,
you'll need one for your swf to check its _framesloaded property
before advancing the timeline.

Flash Video Gallery Problem

Hi All
I am developing a video Gallery in AS 3.0.
* I am providing thumbnails and XML is loading external FLvs
in those thumbnails .
* The user can either double click or click and drag
thumbnail to play the main video above the particular line.
* I am calling external SWFs in the UIloader component for
playing the main video. That UIloader will be called when the user
either double clicks on thumbnail or click and drag the thumbnail.
* Also user can drag the main video wherever he wants, and
he can drop the main back to the thumbnails too( which will unload
the video player).
My problem is that everything is working fine when i run the FLA
file, but when i closed my application and try to run the
individual SWF file, the file does not work ( its just
crashing).
There are no frames I am using so that's for sure that i did
not forget to put stop frame.
All of my code is in the main time line and I haven't used
any custom classes yet, which means everything is in the actions
window.
Am i using the right tool for such a big application? Should I
switch to FLEX for compiling this file. i am not that familiar with
FLEX working environment too.
Please help me out what i am doing wrong and i apologize that
I could not mail you the code because the file is very very big.
Also if any better tool is available for this please let me
know.
Any kind of help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot
Anuj

Interesting problem.
I thought initially that this could be easily solved with Action Sequences on the imported SWF file. Action Sequences will control the visibility, play(), stop() and go to frame, it doesn't stop the audio that has already started playing in the imported SWF.
I worked around this by
placing an empty frame "0" in my Flash .fla with SoundMixer.stopAll(); in the ActionScript - then reoutput the SWF
Imported the SWF and then set an ActionSequence to go to Frame 0 and Stop when I exited the state where I wanted my SWF playing
Also set an ActionSequence to go to Frame 0 and Play when I wanted my SWF to start playing again
See the source .fla and .fxp here: TestingSwfSoundStopStart.zip

Flash cs5 gallery problem...

Hello I have made a website and a gallery both in seperate files. I made the gallery in fireworks cs 4 (as2), and the website in flash cs5 (as3). When I imported the gallery.swf to the library it just shows the outline of the gallery (picture1) with no pictures or even the menu just the outline. Could anyone please help me out in this matter?

Lightroom Flash Gallery Problem

I created a flash web gallery in Lightroom and added it to
dreamweaver cs3. When I opened the gallery index page to review and
adjust in dreamweaver I got a message saying I needed to have Flash
Player installed in my browser (It was) and scripting available for
safari (it is). Could not get past this issue.
When I used the same lightroom gallery only as html I had no
problems editing and posting the index page and gallery to the web.
Is there something I'm missing? Is this a Lightroom or
Dreamweaver or wombat problem?
Wally Wombat

For some reason Dreamweaver won't support Flash in the program itself or something like that. I went through the same thing once. I dont remember trying it but you could open the index page and hit the live mode button and maybe it'll pop up how it should. But if you uploaded it to the actual site and went to it in a browser i'm pretty sure it would look normal. And I was just wondering...but how did you get your html gallery to load up on your website? i'm having the impossible difficulty of achieving that. I paste the gallery folder into the site folder and i try to change links and html documents so they all correlate but i still get the 404 error when i try to go to it in the browser. I semi-succeeded one time by moving the index.html files out of the gallery folder with the other html pages that i had but then since they weren't in the folder some of the stuff in the gallery did not work in the browser. So if you have time I'd much appreciate some help!

Flash image gallery into dreamweaver cs3

I put a flash image gallery into my web page using dreamweave
cs3 and every things working but the images from the image gallery
do not show up. How do I connect the images to the flash file in
dreamweaver.

Getting a 404 error for
http://www.jenspaeth.com/home.swf
before I even
bring a mouse over the screen.
I'm guessing that
http://www.jenspaeth.com/Jen
Site/Shell.swf is
attempting to load that file and cannot find it.
Did you upload home.swf and any other relavent files to the
root of
www.jenspaeth.com? Or is it supposed to be in the "Jen Site"
folder?
You should not use spaces in folder/file names.

DW8 - Need help with Flash Mirror Gallery by Flashdevelopment24

I just purchased an image viewer called Flash Mirror Gallery by Flashdevelopment24:
http://www.flashdevelopment24.com/extensions/flash_photo_gallery_06.aspx
I use DW8. Unfortunately the wizard and the instructions are WAY beyond me. I can insert the object on my page but I have no clue how to import images into it, do I need to create separate thumbnails?, etc. Its a European company and the English isn't taht great either which doesn't help.I went through all their FAQs and examples and I don't have a clue.
I'm doing something very simple, all I need are VERY simple directions on how to make this work. It would be best if there was a YouTube or other video tutorial available. I paid 45 buck for this and it useless to me right now. Help!

I paid 45 buck for this and it useless to me right now. Help!
Sorry can't help, don't know the product at all.
If you are having problems with it, then it's best to contact the people you purchased it from no? They should either help you with support issues, you you should get a refund if it doesn't work as expected.

Flash photo gallery error

As part of a project for school I created a flash gallery using bridge and tried to add it to a site in dreamweaver. When I tried to preview in browser it would tell me to install flash player but when I did it then said that it couldn't find the xml file or it just won't play. I tried adding the xml file under src in the properties inspector. I'm new to using swf files in dreamweaer so I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. Can someone please explain to me how to make this thing work?

Most likely a Flash asset pathing problem...the .swf can't find the .xml file. The path to the .xml file is usually set inside the .swf when you first created the .swf... it's not something you add in later. It's very important that when the .swf and asset files are first created that you do not alter the file/folder structure and that all the files/folders get correctly uploaded to the server.
And if you are new to Flash, it's easier to put the .swf in the site root folder (but that is not really necessary... see below).
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

Photoshop's FLASH web gallery - let's make it better

hello there,
I have spent many hours trying to solve this problem so any
time you could spare to take a look at this would be great - i'm
out of ideas/knowledge.
Photoshop can produce flash web gallerys through it's
automate function. These look great and are a very quick and
elegant solution. If you edit the XML files it produces you can get
it to load swfs which is fantastic - you can now use the flash
gallery automate function to load images, animation, and even
games. But here's the thing that stops it being truly wonderful.
The gallerys are produced as Flash 6 files which means they refuse
to load Flash 8 files. If it could produce Flash 8 files then you
could edit the XML and have it load swfs that contained Flash 8
video. This means I could do pretty much everything i want to do
for my website simply by using the flash photo gallery function in
photoshop and tweeking the XML. Anybody think this might be a
doddle for them? Help

hi. i have a problem that i think it is similar.
i have a gallery on my website made in psd cs3 and if you
look at the page (
http://signsofkauai.com/WEBSITE/PictureGallery/gallery.html
) you will see the .sfw or the image centering the whole page
vertically. therefore creating a large space between the navigation
buttons and the first image. is there a way to make the .sfw to
align top? i just need the pictures to get closer to top of the
website so that people dont have to scroll down to see the
pictures. which file am i supposed to edit and where should i add
what? (yes i am not experienced in coding :( )

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.

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.

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.

Flash not displaying photos in Flash photo Gallery

I have several web sites that use a flash photo gallery to display the photos. All worked until a few months ago when the photo were not displayed to users who used Mozilla Firefox, or MAC users using Safari for their browsers. The albums were blank, the thumbnails were blank. Yet if you used Google Chrome or Internet Explorer, all photos displayed perfectly. I have been to the Firefox forums and they point to Flash. I was using Flash 11.5.502.146, then I downgraded to Flash 10.3. To my surprise all photos display now on my Firefox browse V18.0. So there is definitely a problem with the newer Flash displaying photos in a flash gallery. What can be done to fix this?
