Flash Image Gallery

I purchased the Flash Image Gallery Extension. Installed and
created several beautiful working galleries.
In my image gallery (link below) there are Category titles
176, 186, etc.. When you click the titles it changes the thumbnail
pictures, while the main image remains the same.
Question: I'd like to click on a Category Title and have the
Main Fullsize image change as well. This would help visually to see
that you have in fact changed to a new category. As it is now, it
is not evident that you've changed category. You have to go to the
tn images and click there.
Can you give me some direction on how accomplish this?
Perhaps a behavior - when category title is clicked on the main
image will appear for that category? Seems like a simple edit. Can
I do such an edit on a purchased gallery template file extension?
New to flash, quite familiar with DW CS3. Below is a link to
my gallery:
My
Gallery Link

Hi
These can be linked together - it will need you to change the
destination of the 'Front Page' link (URL) to point to the
appropriate 'Gallery', in the XML you can identify sections by
using the same 'Gallery Id' from the link (URL) in the 'Front
Page'.
Does that make sense?, if you need more help then let me
know

The best Free Flash Image Gallery

Which is the best free flash image gallery for Iweb?

There is no best. That's because they are all different from each other and each brings different properties to the table. Here are some to consider:
SimpleViewer and Flash Album Exporter
Flash Album Exporter Postcard and AutoViewer Slideshow Themes
Jalbum Examples - Jalbum has over 100 skins/themes to choose from.

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

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.

Flash Image Gallery load problem

This a familiar problem that has been put up here a thousand
times I'm sure but as yet I haven't been able to find a solution
for it. I've put together a simple image gallery using Flash and an
XML file. It works perfectly on my system but there are issues with
the images loading properly when I put them onto my site. I know
very little Flash, I've been using a pre-made gallery that I
downloaded but since it works on my computer I assume I should be
able to get it to work online too. The thumbnails for the file seem
to work fine and the information from the XML file is obviously
being accessed, however the main images are not loading. I've
included all the code below (Actionscript, XML and the Web coding),
if someone could help me before I put my fist through a wall that
would be great:
Actionscript
stop();
//specify the url where folder is located below (if
applicable)
toadd="";
t = 0;
l = 0;
theside = 1;
galxml = new XML();
galxml.load(toadd+"flash/fashion/easy-xml-gallery-2.xml");
galxml.ignoreWhite = true;
galxml.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
maxnum = galxml.firstChild.childNodes.length;
for (n=0; n<maxnum; n++) {
specs = galxml.firstChild.childNodes[n];
//TEXT FOR SIDE NAV
duplicateMovieClip(side.thumbs.thumbsb, "thumbs"+n, n);
thumbclip = eval("side.thumbs.thumbs"+n);
thumbclip._x = n*100;
thumbclip.thetitle = specs.attributes.name;
thumbclip.theurl = specs.attributes.theurl;
thumbclip.thecaption = specs.attributes.caption;
thumbclip.thenum = n+1;
thumbclip._alpha = 100;
loadMovie(toadd+"/flash/fashion/images/"+(n+1)+"b.jpg",
thumbclip.thumbload.thumbload2);
play();
side.thumbs.thumbsb._visible = false;
mainperc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (mainperc.perc<98) {
mainperc._alpha += 5;
mainperc.perc = Math.round(l/t*100);
mainperc.perctext = mainperc.perc+"%";
mainperc.ltext = "OF THUMBNAILS LOADED
("+Math.round(t/1024)+"kb)";
if (mainperc.perc>98) {
//mainperc._alpha -= 5;
if (mainperc._alpha<-50) {
delete mainperc.onEnterFrame;

Yep, these are the directions:
this is very easy to update. You only need to edit the simple
xml file and add images to the images folder.
step 1.
add as many images as you like at the size 536 x 403
step 2.
create thumbnails for the above images at size 100x75
step 3.
update the xml file with the name url and caption for each
image. (to take the url off just click through to the button on the
main picture and delete the script that says getURL(theurl)
step 4.
open flash file and change the 'toadd' variable to the folder
where the flash file and image folder is located on your site.
thats it done.
The frustrating thing now is that the files are finally being
found but the thumbnail function has decided to mess up.

Flash Image Gallery Thumbnails

Ok...
So i built myself an image gallery where you could click a
next button and the next image would be displayed. VERY simple. Now
i have decided to make thumbnails. I have an xml file, and i want
to automatically load each thumbnail onto the stage where i want
it. If possible i want these thumbnails not to be a seperate image,
but a scaled down version of the original. Also, i obviously want
to be able to scroll, i dont care how (buttons or scrollbar etc.),
the thubnails if there are too many thumbnails to fit.
How would i go about doing something like this?
Cheers

BUMP!

Flash Image gallery (film strip)

HI there,
I recently came across a webpage that had a film strip
slideshow at the top of the homepage... Does anyone know what this
is called or knows of a script that does something similar? Ive
been looking for three weeks now but I can not find one.
Thanks!
Matt

Do you have a reference that can make clear what you
mean?

NEWBIE: Flash photo gallery! Images are pixelated:(

Greetings everyone. I created a Flash photo gallery using
gifs. While most of the images are acceptable visually, a bunch of
them are quite pixelated.
I read online that I am supposed to use vector graphics
whenever possible, but not all images where created as vector
graphics.
I have a few questions:
If I create the image in illustrator, what format should I
save it as to be used in a Flash gallery? If I create the image in
Photoshop what format should I save it as?
Lastly, is it true that Flash will load vector graphics
quicker than gifs?
Any info would be appreciated! Oh yeah, my site is
inthemixgraphics.com

if you create an illustrator file, actually drawing with the
tools rather than just importing a bitmap and exporting it again,
it will indeed give you a vector file you can work with. you can
even export it as images that are readable by flash-- however,
you'll get the best looking stuff if the vector is basically
rewritten in flash. Import a (dot)eps file into flash, and break it
apart. Look at how the objects maintain their shape.
Now publish the thing and look at the bandwidth viewer. Is
the filesize much smaller than if you imported the .jpg? It should
be, but at least there is a way to check it.
I get the most pixalation from images when I'm forced to
scale .png's down by less than a perfect %. Its weird.
If you're loading externally, I'm not entirely sure the
correct process to bring an optimized vector in, as my thoughts are
that it would be the actual size of the .eps image (or .swf if you
can export to that) itself.
--I hope this makes some sort of sense, and if it doesn't
you'll have to forgive me.
HmcH.

How do you build an image gallery in Flash CS3 actionscript3?

I am building my entire website in flash cs3, actionscript3
but I really need help building an image gallery. What I need is a
horizontal scroll bar that contains thumbs within it and then loads
the full size image right above the scroll bar. Anyone has any
suggestions for books, tutorials or even safe places to purchase
the fla that I can customize it?

if you want help understanding as3 check:

if you want to purchase a custom fla that does exactly what
you want send me an email via my website.

Flash photo gallery, popup image

Hi!
I'm new to flash.
I have created a small flash thumbnail gallery. What I would
like to add now is that when you click on one of the images, a
bigger version of the selected image appears as a popup. At least
it looks that way.
How is this done?
Does anyone have any tutorial or example to look at?
Thanks

the thumbnail (or its unique parent if you setup this up
without fore-thought) should be a movieclip that stores a reference
to the larger image's path.
search google for flash gallery tutorial. there are bound to
be lots of tutorials.

Flash Photo Gallery Image Rollover Help

Ok I was wondering if anyone could help me with this I have
created a flash photo gallery which reads from an xml file. It uses
the following action script
myPhoto = new XML();
myPhoto.ignoreWhite = true;
myPhoto.onLoad = function(success) {
//portfolioTag = this.firstChild;
numimages = this.firstChild.childNodes.length;
spacing = 70;
for (i=0; i<numimages; i++) {
this.picHolder = this.firstChild.childNodes
this.thumbHolder =
thumbnails.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail"+i, i);
this.thumbHolder._x = i*spacing;
this.thumbLoader =
this.thumbHolder.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail_image", 0);
this.thumbLoader.loadMovie(this.picHolder.attributes.thmb);
this.thumbHolder.title = this.picHolder.attributes.title;
this.thumbHolder.main = this.picHolder.attributes.main;
this.thumbHolder.onRelease = function() {
loader.loadMovie(this.main);
title_txt.text = this.title;
myPhoto.load("xmlphoto.xml");
I want to add in a rollover effect to the gallery similar to
the one in Flash Gallery 1 in photoshop
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=2961
Would it be possible to take one of the as files from the Flash
Gallery source and intergrate it into my gallery or would I be
better just adding the rollover effect myself?

Flash simple image gallery problem

Hello I have what I think is an easy problem to solve but I
can´t find a solution.
I´m creating an image gallery with thumbnails on the
right inside a symbol so that
they can all fade in at the same time, and the bigger images
on the left that also fade in.
I can only fit 8 thumbnail images at a time, and want to have
more than that.
So I´ll add an arrow below the thumbs so that when you
click on it, you can see the other thumbs.
I have the first 8 thumbs on the first frame of a symbol and
the rest on the second frame.
My problem is that the symbol that contains the thumbs is a
graphic symbol, so that the thumbs in it, that are button symbols
can be clicked on. I tried using button and movie clip symbols for
the thumbnails container but then the buttons (thumbs) can´t
be clicked any more.
That was not a problem till I had to add more than 8 thumbs,
cause i need to give the container an instance name, and graphic
symbols can´t have one.
Here is the link to download the .fla
www.ginkgo.com.uy/old/downloads/handheld_pink.fla
In case I didn´t make my self clear, what I need is to
know if there´s a way to have a movie clip or button symbol
that can have buttons in it that can be clicked on.
I hope I didn´t give you a headache.
Thanks a lot, Marcelo.

thanks.
that´s what i thought but, if i convert the container to
a button symbol the thumbs can´t be clicked anymore.
And if I convert the container to a movie clip like you
suggested, then if I click on any part of the container it
just goes to the second frame of the movie clip container, if
i click again it goes back to the first frame and so on.
But there is no action script for the container at all,
please try it out with the fla i uploaded.
i can´t figure it out.
thanks

Image gallery From an XML file...

Will flash reconize an XML file that is parameter based (Call
Functions) into a database to create a type of listing service to
show homes for sale?
My client is wanting a basic image gallery for now that will
later become a a fullfledged interactive document later down the
road for showing options in the homes they build. First, they have
Spec homes that they want to showcase (simply put these are homes
they already built and are sitting on the property that are move in
ready).
Step 1:
The end user would visit an HTML (CFM) document where they
would choose there search criteria.
Step 2:
then another page would show with an exterior photo of the
home, and a breif description where the user would select the home
they want to view more infomation.
Step 3:
This then would load the image viewer which is the flash
file, that would call to the XML file to load the parameters to
which home model to show.
The home will have a unique home model name in which the
photos are labeled accordingly the same way...
Exterior = ModelHomeName.jpg
Image 1 = ModelHomeName_1.jpg
Image 2 = ModelHomeName_2.jpg
Image 3 = ModelHomeName_3.jpg
Image 4 = ModelHomeName_4.jpg
Image 5 = ModelHomeName_5.jpg
etc...
Is there a certain way flash has to read the XML file with
parameters to translate it? Or what is the quickest possible way?
Thanks,
Eric

Any luck anyone?

Need Help With Image Gallery

Hey all, I need a simple image gallery to load when you click a button. I've tried shadowbox but have had absolutely zero luck. I'm not sure how to load it from a flash file and I know there is work that has to be done outside of flash like in the root folder. All I need is for a simple image gallery, nothing fancy, to open when I hit a button. If anyone could explain how to use shadowbox in lamens terms or knows how to easily script a gallery that would be amazing.

What script version is your target? AS2 or AS3

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.
