Flash Photo Gallery Question

Hello,
I am a photographer interested in designing a photo gallery
website.My question is how are the special effects created in Flash
for when a thumbnail is clicked and the photo downloads into the
picture viewer? (such as the photo fading in , the photo is
assembled from small blocks, the photo downloads from left to
right, the photo downloads after a flash of light) Is there a name
for these effects? Thank you so much, Wendy

These are some complex components/files you can get free off
the net:

This particular sample is the closets to what you are looking
for. It is XML
driven so all the files information can be edited w/o
changing the Flash movie.
You can define 9 transitions along the image name and the
rest happens automatically.
There are many more samples online, search for stuff like
"flash photo gallery"
or "flash gallery", some free some shareware but definitely
plenty.

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.

Inserting a flash photo gallery in a column

Hi
I usually work with frames but I now started a new site using
the default HTML 2 columns template. One of the columns will hold
my main content. I'm trying insert a flash photo gallery in the
column but this gallery (SimpleViewer) has its own index.html file.
Is this possible and how can I do it?
Thanks!

Hi Anthony:
Have you tried simply applying iMovie's 'Flash" effect to the slug?

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?

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?

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.

Adding a Flash photo gallery on DW

So, I'm trying to add a flash photo gallery on my site. I am very new to this and cant seem to figure out how to do it exactly.
I've found free templates online and downloaded the files. But I am unsure where to go from there. Like I said, I very unexperienced with this program, I did find the add flash option, but am unsure which files to add.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

Hi
The documentation confirms what I have written in my previous post it is controlled by an xml file.
Copy all the files required as indicated by the documentation into the required folder and open the gallery.xml file in dreamweaver.
Insert the images file locations into the xml file as indicated in the example. Important - the location of the files MUST represent where they would be if referenced from the html page you are inserting the image gallery into.
This means that it is probably better if you create the xml file in the same file position as the html page and the copy this file into the required position in the gallery folder that they suggest you create.

Flash Actionscript Photo Gallery question

So basically im putting together a little flash website and i
created a photo gallery and put it on a frame seperate from the
others and i want a button on the first frame to take you
automatically to the photo gallery. So i did and it worked. I also
created a little x-out button on the photo gallery so that when you
click it it takes you back to frame 1 [index]. And it also works
except the large thumbnails in my gallery follow it home and then
you just stuck with a big old unwanted picture on your homepage.
This is the code i put into the frame of the photo gallery::
Any Thoughts?

execute images.removeMovieClip(); when your x-out button is
clicked.

Flash photo gallery .xml question (Firefox)

I made a photo gallery using SimpleViewer (
http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/)
The gallery worked perfectly in both IE and Firefox, but I
made some changes and added some new photos to the gallery more
than 24 hours ago. The changes showed up right away in IE, but in
Firefox, it still shows my 'old' gallery. I can still see the
gallery fine. The file is .xml and I was wondering if there was a
code or something I could use (maybe in the html file) so that
Firefox would be more compatible and make the changes
quicker.

I had to go into firefox and clear the cookies and that
worked. But, there has to be an easier way to do this. I don't want
to tell people on my site that every time the photo gallery is
updated, they have to clear the cookies in the foxfire browser to
see them.
Help!

How to setup a flash photo gallery?

Is there an easy way to setup a set of flash (.swf) files in a photo gallery setting with Dreamweaver?

Don't use Flash for this. It's a dead web technology owing to all the smartphones and tablets that don't support SWF/FLash.
You would be much better off using jQuery which has wide support.

IWeb Google Maps and Photo Gallery Question

I have a Website I started to create a while back. Is there a way to insert a google map and some type of photo gallery
into my site, now that MobileMe is gone??? I really liked the simplicity of iWeb. Is there anything else out there?
Thanks, Eric U

You can still insert Google maps into your site - you just need to do it as you did before the Google maps widget arrived.
Go to Google maps and create the map you want and then copy and paste the code and place it in an ordinary html snippet and then click on Apply and the map will appear.
Also, another tip - you could have found all the answers that you were looking for before even posting your question by searching this forum and there have been literally hundreds of posts on the same topics of Google maps and slide shows.
Suggest you search the forum and look for posts by Old Toad and Roddy, who have found alternatives.
You don't need to stop using iWeb - if you have it use it, but just upload to another host/server.
There are plenty of alternative out there - again a forum search would have given you answers.
Take a look at RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express and Flux 4. You can download free trials of all of these and most are available for purcahse from the Mac App Store.

Searching for Flash Photo Gallery with numbered navigation menu.

I'm looking for a photo gallery with a numbered navigation
menu. I've seen this gallery on several flash web pages. Is this
type of photo gallery a template that comes with flash? Has anyone
come across a tutorial for a photo gallery similar to the link
below.

i made this one:

but there are quite a few simpler photogalleries. use google
to search for some tutorials or templates.
