Flash Web Photo Gallery Auto Play

Hello!
I'm using the Flash - Gallery 1 that came with Photoshop CS2. Is there a (hopefully easy) way to get the gallery to automatically play the slideshow when a user visits the page (instead of clicking the play button)?
Thanks!
Sonya

Sonya,
Unfortunately it can't be set through the options-but it can be done.
It's is not too hard, but you do need Flash.
The source files for the web galleries are generously posted for downloading at:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=2960
In the _as folder there is a text file named coreFuntions.as. Near the top there is a listing of GLOBAL VARs. Change the line that reads: _global.showPlaying = false;
to
_global.showPlaying = true;
save and you're almost there.
Launch the Gallery1.fla and Publish (or test). It should produce a gallery.swf that you can drop into your original gallery folder (with the other controlling files.

Flash-Web Photo Gallery

I am trying to create a flash web photo galler using the Automate>Web Photo Gallery in CS2.
I want to mix the features of the 2 existing options.
In Flash Gallery 1, the thumbnails are listed as small icons in multiple lines and are magnified when the mouse hovers over them, like the dock in OS X.
In Flash Gallery 2, the meta data listed in the xml file is displayed only if you explicitly click on the info button, and it is below the picture.
I need these 2 options together. The rest of the options are not a problem I can go either way.
Is there another Flash Gallery that will combine these two options?
If not:
Is there a way to modify the flash file to accomodate this?

Google "Flash Gallery Templates", you'll see 2.4M links.
Back to levonk's original question... sounds like you're trying to do what I'm trying to... alter the Flash files used to generate the Web Photo Gallery Flash Gallery 2.
Here's my question, similar to yours:
How do i open the "gallery.swf" file to alter Photoshop Flash Web Photo Gallery?
Built Web Photo Gallery in Photoshop CS2's Automate. It turned out OK, and I made adjustments in the "index.html" and "galleryconfig.xml" files in a text editor (BBE).
Now, I'd like to alter the template's .swf file but can't open it as it's "protected".
It would be nice to be able to set up a new template that does exactly what I intend, without altering the other files. But I can't open the protected "gallery.swf" file to make changes. Can someone help? Does Adobe have an unprotected copy of that file I can fiddle with? Is there some "trick" to open a copy of that file? I could learn a lot and make it easy to repeat results for a site. Any assistance most appreciated!

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.

Using Adobe Web Photo Gallery

I have PS CS4, on a mac, and I added the Web Photo Gallery plug-in.
This works, but I cannot get PS to make a Web Photo Gallery that reflects the folder structure that I am using.
PS just dumps all images into one ore more pages, without regard to their source folder structure.
I want PS to make a home web page that contains just links to web pages that actually contain the images in the sub-folders.
I do not see an option to do that.
I have a home folder, which contains sub-folders, and those sub-folder contain the images.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks.

Flash-driven web photo gallery in Contribute

I created a flash-driven web photo gallery in LightRoom. I'm
trying to insert it in Contribute to post on my website but
Contribute won't recognize the file. Any suggestions as to how to
insert this photo gallery on Contribute?

From what I understand on the internet, a lightroom gallerie
is build with more files than just one swf. Have you checked this
and made sure that these are on the server?

In the past I was using Photoshop 7 to make Web Photo Gallery. My friend could right click on the pictures from my website and save it in their computer.
Recently I have bought and registered your Lightroom 5 and have updated it to 5.6. But can not program it to create Photo Web Galleries that after uploading to my website would allow my friends to down load the pictures from the album to their computer. How could I do it? Please step by step. Thank you M. Mehdi Akhavein

Are you producing HTML galleries with Lightroom (not Flash galleries)?

Help! problem displaying Web Photo Gallery in IE and Windows browser

Hi all,
Sorry if this issue is old news but, i have tried to find the answer in the archives first, with no luck.
It's about this;
I am working with Mac OSX 10.4.11 and Photoshop CS2.
Recently i haveust published Web Photo Gallery on my website.
It looks good in Safari and Firefox. But when viewed in Internet Explorer it's totally different layout. Thumbnails are shifted to the middle of the frame, and it is not a pretty sight.
Can't find the way to fix it...
here is the link
http://www.exornocreations.com/html/gallery/pendants/PENDANTSindex.html
If someone here has a clue how to go about it and wants to share a good tip i would be eternally grateful.
Many thanks,
Karmela

>There are more browsers than just IE that will have trouble with this page.
Which ones?
I am currently building a site for a client and I have a page which should play a Movie inside an iFrame.
My HTML includes heights and widths and is as follows (angled brackets have been removed for display purposes in the Forum):
"iframe id="movie_play_iFrame" name="movie_play_iFrame" src="../movie/Movie-screen.gif" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" align="middle" height="269" width="398" /iframe"
This works perfectly in the latest available version of Safari, Firefox, Netscape, AOL, and Opera.
The only one that it does NOT work in is IE.
In IE, the movie plays all right but it does so in a new window and not in the required position on the page (which is inside the iFrame).

Embed Web Photo Gallery in ASPX

I've been trying to embed a generate Web Photo Gallery (default Flash based one) into an ASPX web page using LR3.2. I actually have a Master Template setup. I realize that the generated code is intended to be used as a stand-alone HTML web page. Has anyone had much luck embedding content from the generated Web Photo Gallery into an existing webpage. Any tips or samples would be appreciated.

Thanks John. I was able to get things up and running via iframes. Now, if I could figure out a way to remove the header they use on top of the Flash templates to get some extra room, that would be great .
I think the existing templates are good, but I hope they add more refinements down the road.

Create a web photo gallery, in PSE8????

In a old version of elements, like verssion 2, you could create a web photo gallery. You can also do this in Photshop.
I just purchased PSE8 and I cannot find it in there. Since this the bulk of my work, uploading photo galleries to car websites I look after, this could be a real problem for me.
Is it in there & I'm just looking in the wrong palce or is there a plug inn I can get/purchase?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated

I still have PSE2 so it's no drama.
It just defeats the purpose of me upgrading from that point of view.
Like Eric says I too do not want the "flash-based web pages " as nice as they are.
I cant see why they couldn't have left in the html gallery feature in as well as having the flash. I see it all the time. Packages move forward at the expense of other features being removed.
I got the new package PSE8 and PRE8 as they could supposedly talk to each other. Now I find I'm still having to use an older and much simpler application to get the job done.
I also run two screens and when I move one of these new applications to the second larger screen it spits the dummy.
Me thinks I'll just stick with my old proven products that never fail or hang. Every time I try to move with the times something like this happens.
I fear application/software creators/designers of the day have lost the plot.
Ahh, I feel better now. LOL!!

Using CS3 Web Photo Gallery Control Panel in Bridge CS4?

I found where the styles are located in the library, and it doesn't look like the old templates will work with the new Output feature of Bridge. I want to use my old templates from CS3 that I have customized, and would like to use them with Bridge. I have installed the extra Goodies, but they will only work through Photoshop, not Bridge.
Is there a way to have Bridge>Tools>Photoshop bring up the legacy version control panel for the Web Photo Gallery?
Thank you:)

Hi Paul,
I'm not a Lightroom user, but the new Web Photo Galleries that come in CS4 are in Bridge. They are Lightroom templates, so there's probably not much difference. I just tried building a gallery in CS4 Bridge with 35 files, and I could not preview more than 10 either through Bridge or in a browser by pressing the preview button. The only way to preview the entire gallery before uploading was by saving the folder, then opening the index file in a browser.
Web Photo Galleries can be created in Photoshop and Bridge CS4 just like they were in previous versions of Photoshop and Bridge. You do need to configure it using the optional Goodies files since it is not part of the initial installation. It's real easy. The link I posted above has more information. Here it is again:
http://generatex.com/cs4.html
If you do that, you'll have the best of both worlds. You'll have the option of creating web photo galleries with html templates in Bridge or Photoshop CS4, previewing them easily (regardless of size), and have the option of using the new Lightroom flash templates in Bridge CS4.

As for AS3 part of it, I am not sure your code really works. There are syntax and logical errors there.
I think you need to take it step by step and accomplish several task in the following sequences:
1. Write code that loads XML correctly;
2. Write code that enables buttons;
3. Write code that will load images on button clicks.
The code below shows in principal what needs to be done in order to load XML and make the data in this XML available for further consumption. Also, by accomplishing this step you will iron out all the PHP vs Flash wrinkles including your XML.
Please note, I don't know your XML structure so all the parsing issues you need to resolve yourself.
Once you get handle on it - we, hopefully, will talk about steps 2 and 3.
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.*;
var images:XML;
var myRequest:URLRequest;
var myLoader:URLLoader;
// list of image urls that will come from loaded XML
var imageList:XMLList;
myRequest = new URLRequest("Photography.php");
myLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoaded);
// suggested handler for unexpected errors - avoids some headaches
myLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onLoadError);
myLoader.load(myRequest);
// Note: all the listeners are removed
// it is always wise to remove listeners that are needed any longer
// to make objects eligible for arbage collection
function onLoadError(e:IOErrorEvent):void
     trace(e.toString());
     myLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoaded);
     myLoader.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onLoadError);
function onFileLoaded(e:Event):void
     myLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoaded);
     myLoader.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onLoadError);
     images = new XML(myLoader.data);
     // only now xml is ready and you can start loading images
     imageList= images.pic;

Web Photo Gallery help

I have a couple of questions about using Bridge to make web photo galleries.
- is there a way to make the galleries so the pictures retain the same file names as the original pictures?
Here's a sample gallery I made; http://www.bobcoulter.com/ps5/gallery/content/_1226902297_large.html
The first pictures file name is; 110108_0023.jpg but in the gallery if you copy the picture it's now called _1226902297.jpg
- is there a way to force ALL the files Bridge uses to make the gallery so they are lower case file names? i.e. cutName.js so that it's cutname.js etc.

IMO when Adobe removed PDF and contact sheet support along with Photoshop Web Galleries from Photoshop menu File>Automate>Web Photo Gallery... and they added an output module to the Bridge for PDF support and a much less customizable Web Photo Galleries they took a giant step backwards and short changed their users.
However you can still download some of the removed features like Contact Sheets and the old Photo Web Gallery and install them into CS5 how much longer will they provide them no one knows.
You can also find some Photoshop Scripts that can be used to generate Web Photo Galleries. Most are written in javascript and not converted to binary so you can download them and if you know a little javascript you can add anything you want.
Perhaps in some future release the Bridges output module support will catch up with the old support that is in Photoshop CS3.
The scripts I have modified can be downloaded. Here are some examples hover the mouse cursor over the bottom of your browser's window in the WS-Slideshow galleries to see its tool bar. I fit my images within a UXGA display 1600x1200 pixels.

Web Photo Gallery Descriptions

I have just started playing with Web Photo Gallery.
I built one with the Slideshow. I couldn't figure out where the descriptions were supposed to come from, I thought I could enter them in Bridge somewhere, but didn't figure that out.
So, I opened them up in Dreamweaver and added descriptions to each of the files. Problem is that as the slideshow goes on, only the first description shows up, the rest, the file number changes, but not the description.
What did I do wrong? What should I do next time?
Thanks,
Kirk
PS, if you are curious, here is the slideshow that isn't working:
http://www.dirt-dog.com/doghouse/

You can enter the descriptions using the "File Info" properties for each photo, using Adobe Bridge or Photoshop. I have encountered a similar problem in that my descriptions were not always showing up in the pages generated by the Web Photo Gallery.
After some investigation, I found that the descriptions were disappearing only for photos that had a Return / Line Break in the description. If you go back and make sure all of your descriptions are a single line, it works fine. This is a bug in the Web Photo Gallery code...you can see it in the Javascript code that it generates for each page.

Photoshop Elements 8 - Web Photo Gallery?

I have Photoshop Elements 8 trial edition and Photoshop Elements 2.0. I would like to create a Web Photo Gallery with Photoshop Elements 8 trial edition just like I have been doing with Photoshop Elements 2.0. I cannot find how to create a Web Photo Gallery in Photoshop Elements 8. Has Adobe removed the Web Photo Gallery function from Photoshop Elements 8?
I want to create a photo gallery to share photos on my own website and allow viewers to download the pictures. The new online sharing function in Photoshop Elements 8 only creates a slide show without downloading capability.

Bob,
Thanks for answering. I need to create a Web Photo Gallery so I can upload thumbnails and full-size pictures to my website and have viewers be able to download the full-sized pictures. The Flash version does not permit downloading and requires that you use one of the provided templates. It appears that Photoshop Elements 8 is a downgrade from Photoshop Elements 2.0 in this respect. Is there any way to accomplish what I want to do with Photoshop Elements 8.0?
By the way, I really like your video tutorial on the Adobe website.
