Flash Gallery
I have been working on a site for a band in Dreamweaver. I am
very green when it comes to Flash, but found a Flash template which
seemed easy enough to use, in fact, when I "Test Movie" in Flash
CS3, it functions fine. When I import the swf file into Dreamweaver
CS3, it only half works... (I have the small pics saved in a
"film_mx.fla" file, and the larger pics saved in a "pics.fla" file.
I did a "publish" and "export" to create the swf files... is there
a trick to importing these files? Am I not saving them correctly?)
I have included the link below. Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you!

you're not as likely to get help when asking people to
download files. pinpointing the relevant code and posting it here
(using the attach code option) is more likely to get a
response.

How to Increase Number of Images from 500 in a LR3 Flash Gallery
I noticed people asking (and I myself needed to know) so I thought I would explain how to increase the number of images (from 500) in a Flash gallery in Light Room 3
1. I exported a Flash gallery from LR3 and it capped the gallery at 500 images.
2. Because I had roughly 600 images to put in the gallery, I exported the remaining 100 as a separate flash gallery. (Going ahead and exporting 2 galleries will save you headache in a later step)
3. I combined all the images folders (copying "large" images from one folder to the "large" folder in the gallery I want to upload to my site, etc.) so that the files are all in one location.
4. The next step is to increase the gallery maximum in the code. Access (from the exported gallery) GALLERYNAME/resources/mediaGroupData/group.xml and open the group.xml file. The line of code you will be changing is <media totalGallerySize="500"> Change the 500 to the number of photos you want in the gallery.
5. This next step isn't too complicated, but it is specific. You know have to tell that flash file to look for the images you just transferred to the images folder. The best way to do this is to open the group.xml file for the second gallery you exported. Copy all the code beginning with <item> to the bottom of the page. This code tells the gallery to look at your specific images (Note: you'll notice within each item the names of your image file)
6. Return to the (other) group.xml file of the gallery you plan to use (with all your images in it). Scroll to the bottom and erase the lines </media> and </mediagroup> becaue you will repaste them in a moment. Next, paste the copied code there.
7. Save & check your browser!
I hope this was clear...please comment back and I'll clarify if needed.
ro500 images in a single gallery is too many - think of the poor viewer!
But if you must create Flash galeries with more than 500 images, you're better off editing the underlying engine - here's one link showing how to do it -
Can I use Bridge Flash Gallery in Dreamweaver
LOVE Bridge's design for a photo gallery! Is there a way that I can use that flash gallery as a gallery in a web design? In otherwords, in a web design or as a link. I have a main page designed in Dreamweaver and want to use the gallery created in Bridge as a means to view my artwork. Is that possible. I see that I can publish it, but how can I use as a link. I thought this more a Bridge Forum question I hope...
MANY THANKS in advance!!I appreciate all of your comments. I am also working throught this problem with my site www.jakgallery.com
I used iFrame to incorporate but when uploaded it does not work. I contacted Adobe and suggested that many users are having similiar problems and that it seems like an issue they could address. They suggested I go to www.adobe.com/devnet and post my problem there and Adobe people would review this problem to find a fix.
Just a suggestion. I think this is something that would be obvious to connect Bridge and Dreamweaver in an easier way. We'll see.
Thanks, Mike -
Auto start (play) flash gallery
Hi,
i have got a simple question. I created a flash gallery in Adobe Lightroom 3, which I use on my homepage ( http://joern-constabel.de/main.html?live ). How can I set this gallery to start rotation the images automaticly? (So, that you don't have to push the "play-button".)
THX
jörnI don't believe that feature is supported in Lightroom's default Flash galleries. You could have a look at SlideShow Pro Lr Plug-in, which is altogether much more powerful and flexible tool for making web galleries and slideshows.

Adobe web photo gallery - flash gallery 2
I'm using the adobe web photo gallery, flash gallery 2 and I
want to slow down the time it takes for each photo to fade in. I'm
referring to the part that after the image preloader is done and
when the image is transitioning from white into the full image.
I've gone through the code but to no avail. Can someone help me
with this? Thanks!Most CS3 Web Photo Gallery Templates are flash free. They use straight HTML. Even the ones the change images automatically just use HTML to refresh the page displayed and change the page to the next image. The Photoshop Web Gallery Template can be edited and customized to better suit your needs. Adobe has removed Photoshop's Photo Web Galleries from newer version of Photoshop however the Feature can be installed into the newer Photoshop versions. Adobe added an output module to the Bridge that can create Web Photo Galleries these are mostly Flash based and not easily customized like Photoshop's old Web Photo Gallery templates.
IMO there is nothing wrong with Flash Web Galleries other then mobile tablets and phone do not have flash support. I have yet to see any HTML 5 web gallery with features that match Flash Galleries. I'm not a fan of Flash web sites or Flash games. However there are many Flash web photo galleries that perform well and have great features. I do not particularly want to display my images on small web phones. If you want to see them on a tablet get a windows 8 pro tablet they should have flash support. I put large images in Web Photo galleries fitted for 1600x1200 displays and count on flash to resize them for the users browsers window.
Here is an example of a Flash web photo gallery. It contains 8 or 9 albums some with additional feature enabled. All generated in Photoshop with a custom script. http://www.mouseprints.net/albums/
Resize your browser window see the image sizes change use the menu in the bottom of the browsers window to change album and try full screen support. I only use Flash for Web Photo Galleries. I'm not selling so I do not need IOS and Android support. -
Bridge Flash Gallery in Firefox- great troubles!
Hi everyone,
I've noticed a problem in the usability of the Bridge CS4 generated Flash gallery online… in fact, it is so unseeable in Firefox browsers, while it works really fine in Safari and IE!
Here's the link http://tiny.cc/JwACz
Thanks in advance, I think it just would need some regulation in the code, as it was for lightroom galleries (who needed just an overflow:auto option)Hi
This tutorial by David Powers may help - http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/gallery/embed1.php.

Modifying Lightroom Flash Gallery Templates
I have created a Photo Gallery using Lightroom Flash Gallery in Bridge CS5 and have integrated it into a web site so far so good.
I would like to replace the file name shown under the image with the Image Title from the Metadata and not to show the Title Bar.
Does anyone know if other Templates are available that may do this?
Otherwise is it possible to make changes to the existing templates?
I have located the existing templates in the resources folder but have not figured out how to make the changes I want.
Advice and guidance welcomed.
Thanks
DerekI have answered my own question, simple when you find where in the code it is done.

Image requests from flash gallery are not caching
The image requests that happen from a flash gallery are not getting cached in Safari browser, they get cached properly in IE, Firefox & Chrome.
For Example - Load the following gallery (http://www.monoslideshow.com/demo/) in Safari browser, and monitor the HTTP requests using Charles proxy tool or any other similar tool.
The images are downloaded during the 1st iteration of the gallery, which is expected, but even for the further iterations the images are downloaded from the source, rather than taking from the cache.Hello All,
It was disappointing not receiving a reply from anybody on
the
following.. Please provide me some insight.
Thanks.

Flash gallery not displaying online
Hi,
This is
Flash
Gallery of a website,
This works fine offline, but when uploaded and tested, the
flash content is not displaying online.
Any thing wrong in the markup? Can someone point me in the
right direction to fix this.
Thanks in advance.
amarnath jaganathanany more resource on this? like what was the script? if there
is a link to your website? sorry that i personally havent worked
with adobe media gallery, but flash should work on all platforms,
have you tried on other people's computer and see? and are you

First, does anyone know of a good free program to create a
flash gallery?
I am currently using SimpleViewer and I have a question about
the size of the photos. All the pictures are different sizes and
SimpleViewer allows me to set a maxium height and width.
(maxImageWidth)
For some reason, it stretches some photos and it doesn't keep
the size of the photos (I have it set at 480 for both height and
width). I am looking for gallery that will allow me to 'auto' set
the height and width so that the size of the photos won't be
stretched out and will appear as I have uploaded them.help

Flash Gallery Template not working as expected
I am very new to Flash and barely know ActionScript. I have created a flash gallery using the in built template in Flash8, which works fine. The gallery forms part of my gallery page of a separate SWF flash site. I load the gallery using a loder component. Since the gallery navigation works by targeting the root folder, my site gets screwed up. The question is, how do i modify the ActionScript in the gallery.fla file (flash inbuilt template), so that once loaded into the main site, it doesnt target the root timeline, but targets its own timeline i.e. the gallery's own timeline. I hope i'm making sense?
Please see below for the code in the Flash Gallery. PS: I didnt write the code - its inbuilt into the template:
function updateFrame (inc) {
// send slides to new frame
newFrame = _level1._currentFrame + inc;
_level1.gotoAndStop(newFrame);
updateStatus();
if (_level1._currentFrame == 1) {
prevBtn.gotoAndStop(2);
} else {
prevBtn.gotoAndStop(1);
if (_level1._currentFrame == _level1._totalFrames) {
nextBtn.gotoAndStop(2);
} else {
nextBtn.gotoAndStop(1);
function updateStatus () {
_level1.statusField = _level1._currentFrame + " of " + _level1._totalFrames;
function autoplayInit () {
startTime = getTimer();
hideControls();
updateStatus();
function autoplay () {
if (autoplayStatus != 0) {
// get the current time and elapsed time
curTime = getTimer();
elapsedTime = curTime-startTime;
// update timer indicator
indicatorFrame = int(4/(delay/(elapsedTime/1000)));
indicator.gotoAndStop(indicatorFrame+1);
// if delay time if met, goto next photo
if (elapsedTime >= (delay*1000)) {
if (_level1._currentframe == _level1._totalframes) {
_level1.gotoAndStop(1);
} else {
_level1.nextFrame();
autoplayInit();
function hideControls () {
nextBtn.gotoAndStop(2);
prevBtn.gotoAndStop(2);
updateFrame();
autoplayStatus = 0;use this._lockroot=true in your template.

Index page won't load images in flash gallery
this is the first time I have used a .us extension for a domain. I created a lighroom flash image gallery, exported it from lightroom into a folder called the domain name (pearlconcepts) which is located in my sites folder on my computer. I uploaded that folder (pearlconcepts) to my server into the root folder which holds all my domain folders. when I call up the url in my browser (pearlconcepts.us) the index page loads fine. but the web gallery images don't load (the flash player reads only 'loading'). however, if I upen the index page on my own computer (pearlconcepts.us/index,html), it loads all the images in the flash gallery perfectly.
I am wondering if there is some code in lightroom's web module which sets .com as a preference (my other sites are all .com and the uploaded folders all work fine). or if there is something I need to do to the root folder on the server to make the images load properly.
many thanks!

Just work through the list of errors and skip any you don't feel comfortable about changing for now. When you get most of the errors removed, re-upload your pages & we can take another look at your progress.

Need some help with a flash gallery
Hello everyone :)
I really stuck on my flash gallery, I purchashed it and set
up the xml file and everything works fine, but when I upload it to
my website and I add the flash to a page, it dont show up.
Ive been told that the problem is that the gallery is trying
to load the XML file at this location:
http://www.islamichelp.org.uk/gallery_data.xml
but theres not an XML file there.
I havent got the orignal flash file because im using a
template therefore I can't edit it. Is there any way I could change
where it loads the xml file from??
As u can see
here
the flash gallery works great, but I want to put it on my actual
webpage.
The flash gallery is on
this
page..
Thank you in advance!Hi,
Why dont you just upload the xml file (and images) into the
folder in which the flash is looking for it?
Thanks

On Flash Gallery, where does the Description wind up?
Lightroom 2.4. Mac OS X 10.4.11
I am using flash web templates which are based on, and similar to, the default flash gallery. The Collection Description is "Web Photo Gallery created by Adobe Lightroom." If I change that text, I see that my template name is no longer selected, indicatiing that this is in fact, a change. as I would suspect.
But where the heck is that text in the web page? I didn't see the default one, and I don't see my changed version.
In my browser, I looked at the source, and I do not see that text as a meta description either.
Where does it wind up? What is the feature for, if it creates neither visible text or meta text?
DeanOn the top left corner of the gallery page you should see an item labelled View. Click on the label to expose a context menu. The last option on the context menu is About these Photos. Clicking on this option should expose the description.
