How to make a thumbnail gallery page that'll open individual slideshows?

Hi,
I'm trying to make a gallery of thumbnails for album covers I did, and want for it to open its own slideshow (on the same page / as a typical slideshow pop up) when a person clicks on one so he/she can view the main image and a few more thumbnails on its side for other artwork panels (as well as use the arrows if possible).
Anyone got an idea for an easier way to do this?
Thanks! I'm going insane over this... And it seems like this could be the easiest thing, but somehow I can't find a way...

Hi,
That would seem to be the perfect logical answer. But guess what? I've tried this many times without any luck. I MUST be doing something wrong, but simply have no clue what it is. SO I'll describe every tiny step, and maybe you can see where I'm at fault.
1- I drag & drop a Lightbox display from the the composition folder in the Widget library on a blank page.
2- I delete 2 of the 3 default thumbnails from above the main target/container,
3- I select the remaining whitest thumbnail, go on the FILL option the left corner, and add an image from my files. I choose scale to fit and make it the size I want.
4- I open the Trigger option in the upper left area and do the same for the "Normal" state (as a default, Muse puts it on the "Active" one). Now all my states have the same image. I also remove the stroke and fill color behind.
4- I select the default gray bars with arrows within the CONTAINER below and remove them (simply because I intend to change them with my own design and to make sure I don't stumble on them for the forthcoming steps)
5- I select the TARGET area and then go to my FILL option and change the white area to "no color".
6- I then select the CONTAINER area and change the default back color to an image of my choice (a background that I put at 80% transparency).
7- I re-select the TARGET area and drop a Lightbox widget from the Slideshows folder in the Widget library into the selected TARGET area. I resize it to my liking.
8- I go and click on the upper right option button (white arrow under a blue circle) of this new Lightbox to add the images I want.
9- As predicted, the images appear as they should: One big in the center and the proper amount of thumbnails above. When I click on them, they appear sequentially below also as intented.
10- At this point all should be great and working (I think), so I go in the preview section (and also tried via the Preview in Browser (crtl+shift+e)) and what appears, is my page with the actual thumbnail of the cover (again, as it should). BUT here comes the bug::::
Once I click on it, the Lightbox slideshow pops up, and all shows up but the actual center main image (as well as its default black area behind the image), e.g. what should be the bigger version of the 1rst thumbnail from the series above it. I try to click on the other thumbnails above the invisible image and nothing happens. Actually something does happen, because if I decide to click outside of the of the main image area, ONLY then all fades again and my main image pops up ALONE, everything else fades away! So to get out of there, I have to reclick outside but I'm then pushed back to the main original thumbnail gallery....
So it feels like it sorts of become like a 3rd level thing and this is obviously not what is needed...
Any idea what's problematic?!
Much thanks for having taken the time to read my little novel here! ; )
If this is not quite clear still, I could post a video of all of what I'm doing and the resulting problem.

  • How to make a template in Pages that wraps to next page

    I almost always use my Pages '09 in Layout mode.  I have a long document that I supply to vacationers on Cape Cod of all the gluten free restaurants and food stores.  It's 17 Pages long.  Because places open or close I am doing adding and subtracting of listings all the time so this document is in word processing mode so it automatically reshuffles when I add new places.
    I want to brand it a little bit more and each page is going to have a small graphic and one line on the edge that is horizontal (at bottom of page) and one line that is verticle at the left side of the page.
    I can't figure out how to do this in Word Processing mode.  I can't move the graphics around like I can in Layout mode.  I can put them in text boxes and move them that way to the desired locations.    
    However, if I add text boxes the text isn't wrapping from one page to the next.
    I really love Layout mode is there a way to get it to take the over flow of text from page one and put it in the text box on the next page automatically? 
    I'm not sure how to do this project and I hope someone can give me a quick answer!
    Thank you so much ahead of time!

  • How to make a movie in, Pages, that works when it is saved as a Word document?

    I made a pages document, then saved it as a Word document, but the 10 second movie I saved in it doesn't play when you start it in Office and use it. I used an MP4, should I try to get something that creates a .WMV since  PC doesn't play well with others?

    I use Libre Office all the time.  It can only "recognize" file formats that you have installed players for.
    Install VLC media player (open source, cross platform) and it should be OK.
    I have to wonder if your using the best medium for what you want to accomplish.  What do you need besides the movie?  Maybe you should be creating a web page?  Certainly, HTML has far better support for embedding media in a document than anything else.  Better as in will work on Windows, Linux, OS X, etc.

  • How to do a video gallery page

    Hi everyone
    when you create a new page iWeb lets you choose from some preset pages like the homepage, the blog, the video and the photo gallery.
    But the video page lets you put one or more videos in just one page.
    If you have many videos and you want to divide them in different categories like the photo gallery page do for photos, how can you do it?
    If you select the photo gallery and if you put videos instead of photos from your iTunes inside of it, it seems to do the job, but I can't use this trick cause I have not enough hosting space to store the videos, and infact I uploaded them in youtube and with the youtube widget the photo gallery doesn't work and shows nothing...
    Did someone know how to create a video gallery page (or something like that) with videos from youtube?
    Thanks
    Message was edited by: PaoloPhino

    This is one way you could do it: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes. The thumbnails can be as small as you'd like. This way none of the video files have to load before they play button is selected. Otherwise the page would take forever to load.
    How the button is created is described in this demo page: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window
    OR you could use a video jutebox like the one on this page: http://www.holyredeemernorthbend.org/HRWeb/Our_Videos.html.
    His tutorial on how to implement it is here: http://www.holyredeemernorthbend.org/HRWeb/jukebox.html.

  • When restarting firefox after a crash, how do I stop it from re-opening all web pages that were open at the time of the crash?

    When firefox crashes, or if it hangs and I have to kill it, then when I go to restart it, it tries to re-open all pages that were open at the time it crashed or was killed. This is incredibly annoying, especially if one of the visited pages caused the crash or hang. It is also really annoying if some of the web pages happened to require passwords to log in, from multiple sites. In my case this occurs as I am frequently logged into multiple online educational web sites like ucsc-extension.edu and berkleemusic.com. In the login case you get multiple login prompt pop-ups with no way to correlate which pop-up goes with which web page. If there are a lot of them then it's a hopeless mess. This behavior is something that I never ever want and it infuriates me that not only is it the default behavior, it is something that there seems to be no way to turn off, at least via the configuration menus. Am I wrong? Is there a way to turn this off? If not can somebody either make it configurable or get rid if this fantastically idiotic behavior?
    I suspect there's a command line option for this but on my Mac (or most systems these days) it's sort of "unnatural" to be starting programs like browsers by means other than a provided program start-up icon, which gives you no choice about the command line options.
    Besides, as a default behavior the current behavior is something I cannot conceive of ever wanting. I would rather have a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == firefox crashed

    You can try this.
    In the address bar type about:config you will be warned that this is dangerous.
    Search for browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash
    Double click on true to toggle it to false.
    Exit the page.
    Firefox will now NOT try to reload websites after a crash.

    An app changed it to some other search engine, before installing the app, I the tab that would open was the homepage I set.
    In my case it is Google, and I want my new tabs to open on Google like they did before the installation.
    thank you,

  • How to make Firefox to never update that slow custom look since FF 29?

    How to make Firefox to never update that slow custom look since FF 29? How to change windows installation and ubuntu installation so they never update after FF 28 witch was last normal speed normal browser?
    Hello. I can easy remove on Windows FF 29 or FF 30 and its slower on fast computer. But its affected by millions of users. With FF 28 it was allways fast.
    Why fast? I dont know but its SLOW Now any version after FF 28.
    Since FF 29 FF loads and hangs very very slow each time loading, starting, or changing tabs. It is making problem for everyone and now everyone calls with help- "why computer is slow.. oh its FF? Chrome? Chrome was slow but now its not the slowest one?"
    Very colorfull Example- one comp is 10" and its very very very very low specs. So it wont run at all.
    Now on small comp we can try linux and FF BUT no matter what OS just couldnt get back with any plugins back normal speed. Since FF 29 its very very very slow and that needs to have a solution. Today came update and still unneded custom menu button and its slowness hasnt been removed (unnoticed) so it needs a fix so it works for people who are not just for browsing internet buying new computer and cant get any faster speed then Chrome since now theres no FF anymore.
    SO- How to do that on Windows and Linux- installing FF 28 and making it never upgrade
    OR even better- Making a package that already has this update disbled setting ON?
    p.s. Should you first ask people how they like slow browsers before making fast one to a slow one?
    p.p.s. i dont get how menu could be added by thouse who need it as an add-on ass allways and not presuring everyone who never touches any button.
    p.p.p.s. your business was beeing neutral ngo making browser for people and not for making cloged systems so new computers could be sold by some company advice or infiltrated mole who will suggest such unneded feature as any other addons, but sticking it in for everyone.

    Hello,
    You can download version 28 from here:
    https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/28.0/
    Also, you'll have to disable auto updates to remain with version 28 by following the steps described in this support article:

    In the examples included with the weekly builds there is a CustomLinkEventHandler.as example.  Passing parameters would be done in the CustomClickHandler function.  You could attach the parameters to the LinkElement as user styles using the setStyle API.

  • Create a new page that will open in a separate window

    Hi, I would like to add a new page to my website but have it open into a new window when linked to instead of replacing the page that was open thereby having both pages open side by side. The example would be having my bio open up along side my about us page if a link is chosen. Then the reader can see both and close the bio when done and continue on from my about us page. Is this possible? How? Thanks in advance.
    Brenrt

    You can set navbar links to open in new window with this snippet, add the following to your pages using HTML Snippet:
    <script type='text/javascript'>
    function setTarget_blank() {
    nav_layer = parent.document.getElementById('nav_layer');
    nav_links = nav_layer.getElementsByTagName('a');
    for (i=0; i<nav_links.length; i++)
    nav_links[].target = '_blank'; // force links to open in new widow
    if (window.addEventListener) {
    window.addEventListener("load",setTimeout("setTarget_blank()", 500),false);
    } else if (window.attachEvent) {
    window.attachEvent("onload",setTimeout("setTarget_blank()", 500));
    } else {
    window.onload = function() {setTarget_blank();}
    </script>

  • When I close the browser and then re open it it does not go to the home page but opens to the last page that was open when I close it.

    Every time We have been closing the browser for the last few days when we restart the browser, regardless of weather we shut down the computer or not, it reopens to the last page that was opened. I cleared out and deleted the history but it did not help.

    Maybe you currently have your home page setting to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" instead of "Show my home page".

  • Can anyone tell me how to send a PDF file so that it opens up in the body of the email itself? Thanks

    Can anyone tell me how to send a PDF file so that it opens up in the body of the email itself? Thanks

    That is a function of the recipient's e-mail software understanding what your software sent.  If it doesn't it will always show as an icon or attachment.   It is also a function of both your internet provider and their internet provider accepting messages of that size, and a function of their download attachment settings in their e-mail program.  There is no way to guarantee it will appear inline in the attachment.   The best you can do is attach with Windows Friendly format.  To do that, use the attach toolbar icon that looks like a paperclip, (View menu -> Customize toolbar if invisible) on Mac OS X Mail when composing the message.   A checkbox appears in the file dialog box's bottom to make it Windows friendly when you navigate to pick the PDF file.  That makes it as universally compatible as possible.  It still may not appear inline, but at least you are less likely to be incompatible.

  • Safari Launching to Last Web Page that was Open

    After upgrading to Lion, Safari launches to the last Safari page that was open when it was last closed.  I want it to launch to the homepage that I have selected.

    In Lion, by default all apps will now try to start up in the same state they were in when you quit them.
    To turn this off, go to System Preferences, General and uncheck the box toward the bottom. ("Restore windows...")
    To prevent this from happening with just Safari, either close all windows before quitting, or hold option when quitting, or hold shift when launching from the dock.
    I hope all that makes sense.
